Delay Parameters
All of the delays have identical parameters, so we’ll describe them once.
Control knob Parameter Range Description
2 [Time] BPM = O: 1 ms to 3.00
seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to
1/1 Dot
Delay period
3 [Feedback] 0.0-128.0 Fade-out time for delay
4 [Wet Tone] -/+ 64.0 Filter control for Wet signal:
-64.0 to -0.1: Low pass lter
0.0: No ltering
0.1 to 64.0: High pass lter
6 BPM sync O, On Toggles delay sync
7 [Feed Tone] 0.0-128.0 Feedback high-frequency decay time
8 [Dry/Wet] 0.0-100.0% Blends uneected and eected signals
Reverb Types
Hydrasynth provides 4 reverb types, each with distinct characteristics:
• Hall
• Room
• Plate
• Cloud
Reverb Parameters
All of the reverbs have identical parameters, so we’ll describe them once.
Control knob Parameter Range Description
2 PreDelay 0.5-250 ms Length of time before reverb
3 [Time] 120 ms - 90 seconds,
Freeze
Decay time of reverb
Freeze is indenite without damping
4 [Tone] -/+ 64.0 Filter control for Wet signal:
-64.0 to -0.1: Low pass lter
0.0: No ltering
0.1 to 64.0: High pass lter
6 [Hi Damp] 0.0-128.0 Reverb high-frequency decay time
7 [Lo Damp] 0.0-128.0 Reverb low-frequency decay time
8 [Dry/Wet] 0.0-100.0% Blends uneected and eected signals
Freeze the Reverb
While on Reverb module page 1, hold [SHIFT] and press Control button 3 and the reverb time
will jump to Freeze. If the Hi / Lo Damp parameters are set to zero, the Freeze setting will hold
the reverb indenitely. Any notes that are played will be added to the eect.
A Macro button can toggle the Freeze value on and o; just set the BTN VALUE to 128.0. To learn
more about setting up a Macro, see Mastering the Macros (p. 74).
