Overow
Two Hydrasynths can act like a single unit
using Overow mode. It’s simple: Connect a
MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of one unit (the
“master”) to the MIDI In of the other unit (the
“slave”). Next, enable Overow for both units.
Connect the audio outputs of each unit to
your sound system, set good levels for each,
and then:
1. Select a patch on the master: it is sent
via sys-ex and appears on the slave.
2. Play 9 notes on the master: the rst 8
voices come from the master; the ninth
comes from the slave.
Here are some other things to know about
Overow mode:
• The two units will play the same sound. If
you want to layer dierent sounds, disable
Overow mode.
• When a Mono or Unison patch is selected,
the voices on both units are stacked as a
single instrument.
Arp TX
Set this parameter to On if you want the
Arpeggiator to transmit note on / note o
commands over MIDI or USB. Sync information
will be sent whether Arp TX is On or O.
Pgm Chg TX / RX
These parameters determine whether the
Hydrasynth will transmit (TX) or receive (RX)
MIDI program change commands.
CV – Pitch Gate: Page 7
These settings are compatible with most modular synthesizer equipment. Please refer to the
specications of other devices and match those settings on the Hydrasynth.

CV Source: Keyboard, Theremin
This setting allows you to specify whether the keyboard or the ribbon will be the CV/Gate
source. For best results, set the ribbon to Theremin Mode (p. 64) and enable the Quantize
parameter so its output will conform to the selected Scale.
