Find by Category
This sorts the patches by their categories (Arp,
Bass, FX, etc.). The categories themselves are
sorted in alphabetical order, and Control knob
3 is used to scroll through the categories. Note
that Control knob 3 is only active when Find
By Category is selected.
Control knob 1 is used to select individual
patches within the selected category. As it
is turned the patch Bank and number might
jump around a lot; this is because the patches
are not relocated when the Find By option is
changed.
Compare
The patch shown in edit eld 5 can be used
to compare the current state of an edited
patch with its unedited version (the default
selection) or with any other Hydrasynth patch.
Control knob 5 is used to scroll through the
patches, which are always displayed here in
their original order (by Bank and number). To
jump through that list 10 patches at a time,
hold [SHIFT] while turning Control knob 5.
Once the desired patch number appears in
edit eld 5, use Control button 5 to make the
patch active. Toggle that button as often as
needed to compare it to the edited patch.
Note that temporary edits can be made to the
comparison patch, but those edits will be lost
as soon as Control button 5 is toggled back to
the patch being edited.
Favorite Assign...
There are times when it is very useful to group
certain patches together without having
to relocate them. This feature helps you to
prepare by designating certain patches as
Favorites. It makes them available for rapid
selection later.
There are four banks of Favorites containing
eight patches each. You can put the same
patch in several of those locations if you know
you’ll need that patch more than once during
a performance, for example.
Favorites are not selected from inside the
Favorites Assign page; this will be explained
shortly. So the rst step is to select the desired
patch on the Home page. After that, here’s
how to add that patch to the Favorites list.
1. Press [BROWSE] to access the Browse
page.
2. Press Control button 8 to access the
Favorite Assign page.
3. To assign that patch to the rst Favorites
slot, press Control button 1.
The LED ring will ash quickly to conrm
the assignment.
4. Use the Down/Up arrows to select the
next group of 8 patches, if the current
patch belongs there too.
The Left display indicates which of the 4
groups is selected.
5. Return to the Home page to select
another patch, then repeat steps 1-4 to
place it in a Favorites group.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the Favorites
groups are full.
During the steps above the Patch knob and
the Left/Right arrows are disabled. This helps
prevent the accidental replacement of a
Favorite within one of the groups.
Browse Favorites
Your Favorite patches can be accessed from
any other page.
• Hold [SHIFT] and press [BROWSE] to access
the Favorites.
• Use the Page Down/Up arrows to move
between the four groups of Favorites.
• Press one of the Control buttons to select a
patch within the current group.
The Control button and the display eld for
the active patch are brightly lit.
