Knob Mode
This setting governs the response of the
Variable knobs (p. 16) in the Filter and
Arpeggiator sections, not the Selection knobs
(p. 16).
• Absolute: the parameter value jumps to
the physical position of the knob
• Pickup: the knob must pass through the
parameter value before an edit will happen
• Scale: parameter value edit begins from
the current knob position; the remaining
throw of the knob covers the remaining
range of the parameter. After the knob
reaches its minimum or maximum position
the parameter value range conforms to
the physical position of the knob (see
Absolute).
Knob Speed
This determines the response speed of the
Control knobs only. It also aects the ner
[SHIFT] + scroll movements. With a setting of
Slow a full turn is required to cover the full
parameter range; with a setting of Fast it takes
less than half a turn, which can also sacrice
parameter resolution.
Tempo Lock
Each patch stores its own Tempo setting.
Setting Tempo Lock to On enables the tempo
to remain the same while selecting patches.
Macro Button
These settings are described in the Macro
Button Response (p. 71) section of the
Mastering the Macros chapter.
Safe Edit
With this parameter set to On, if you try to
select another patch before saving an edited
patch, a message will ask for conrmation
rst. If a Macro control was the only thing
changed, the conrmation message will not
be displayed.
Note: This does not prevent Hydrasynth from
responding to MIDI program changes.
