logarithmic. Neo curves are based on a new velocity calculation that allows for a more sophisti-

Aftertouch settings
• Aftertouch Delay: the time that transpires
between note on and the onset of
aftertouch.
• Aftertouch Fade: the time it takes to ramp
aftertouch to its current value from 0.
• Aftertouch Curve: determines the amount
of force required to reach maximum
aftertouch values.
• Aftertouch Oset: reduces the dynamic
range of the aftertouch. Positive values set
a higher minimum point, so it takes more
pressure to start the aftertouch. Negative
values set a lower maximum point, so it
takes less pressure to reach the maximum
aftertouch value.
• Aftertouch Release: more like a
compressor than an envelope, this applies
to all upwards movements. This can help
avoid unwanted modulation “wobble”
while pressure is applied, and can sustain
even after note o.

Clock Sync
• INT RUN: selects Hydrasynth as the master
tempo clock. Sync signals are sent to MIDI,
USB, and the CV Clock output.
• USB: selects the DAW as the clock master.
Sync signals are sent to MIDI and the CV
Clock output. Tempo cannot be changed
from the Hydrasynth.
• MIDI In: slaves the Hydrasynth to incoming
MIDI clock data. Sync signals are sent
to USB and the CV Clock output. Tempo
cannot be changed from the Hydrasynth.
• AUTO: Hydrasynth sets the clock source
automatically to the rst source that
arrives. If the clock signal is interrupted,
another is selected. Order of priority: USB >
MIDI > Internal.
Note: Hydrasynth cannot be synced to an
incoming CV clock signal.
Local
When working with a DAW, setting Local to O
can prevent a MIDI loop. Most DAWs have the
ability to prevent this also.
Expression Pedal setup
Press Control button 7 to access the pedal
calibration page. The Left display will prompt
you to sweep the expression pedal through its
full range.
