Outputs
Headphones
As mentioned in the previous section, the
headphone connectors for the Hydrasynth
keyboard are located on its front panel, along
with a dedicated volume control.
The Hydrasynth desktop has its headphone
connector on the rear panel, and the volume is
controlled with the Master Volume knob.
Stereo Outputs
Connect the Left output if monaural signal is
desired; connect both outputs if stereo signal
is preferred.
Control Inputs
Sustain
Connect a momentary footswitch here. Its
polarity is detected on power-up, so any brand
of pedal can be used.
Expression
Connect a variable foot pedal here. Its polarity
and range can be adjusted in The System Setup
Pages (p.84)], which makes it compatible
with a wide range of pedals.
This input can also be used as a modulation
source in the Mod matrix, so it can do far more
than control the volume!
