Macro Options
Control knob 4 lets you decide what will
happen with the current settings of the Macro
knobs and buttons when the patch is saved.
Return
This option returns all Macro knobs to zero
and sets the Macro buttons to O.
Save
This option preserves the positions of all
Macro knobs and the status of all Macro
buttons (On or O).
Convert
This option converts the positions of all Macro
knobs and buttons into new values for the
parameters they control.
Here’s what else happens with the Macro
Convert option:
• After the patch is saved, the depth of
all Macro knobs returns to zero and all
buttons are set to O.
• If the current relative value of a parameter
exceeds that parameter’s range, the value
will be limited to the lowest or highest
possible value depending on its current
state. The Left display will show a warning
when this is true.
• External CV and MIDI parameters under
Macro control will be returned to their zero
values.
Choose a Color
As an added degree of personal touch, you
can choose from 32 dierent colors for each
patch when saving. The selection aects the
LEDs under the Patch knob, the Pitch wheel,
and the Mod wheel. The selected wheel colors
will vary within that color as the wheels are
used.
Patch Backup
Whenever you get to the point where you’d
hate to lose something you’ve created on the
Hydrasynth, be it a patch or a list of Favorites,
that’s the time to back them up to your
computer. You can back up a single patch or
the entire memory with your favorite sys-ex
librarian by using one of the Send features on
System Setup MIDI: Page 6 (p.88).
