Microtuning Menu
The microtuning scale is selected on page 3 of The Voice Module (p. 64) menu. This section
describes how to send and receive them.
After accessing the microtuning menu the following options are shown in the Right display:
Control Parameter Range Description
Knob 1 Scale select 1–32 Selects the Microtuning scale location
2 (view only) Scale name 1–16 characters Dene with third-party software (Scala, etc.)
Button 3 Receive Scale action Puts Hydrasynth into Scale Receive mode
Button 4 Send Scale action Press to send selected scale sys-ex from
Hydrasynth via MIDI / USB
Scale Select
Use this eld to choose a location to receive
the new scale or send its scale via MIDI/USB.
Scale Name
The scale name is shown in this eld. It cannot
be edited here. When creating your own
scales, be sure to set the scale name in the
third-party software before exporting it as
an MTS le (MIDI Tuning Standard). In Scala,
for example, the name is taken from the
Description section for the scale, not from the
le name. Note that Hydrasynth only uses the
rst 16 characters in the name.
Receive Scale
Press Control button 3 to put the Hydrasynth
into sys-ex waiting mode. At this point,
you can send the sys-ex scale le from your
computer.
Send Scale
Press Control button 4 to send your scale via
sys-ex.

curve from zero to maximum. The Very Soft through Very Hard curves vary from exponential to
