PORT PATCHING
The Port Patching screen allows 
Hydra2 inputs to be patched to 
Hydra2 outputs directly from H2O.
As well as making cross-point patches of 
physical I/O ports, H2O can also patch 
to/from Hydra patchbays.
The left hand side of the screen shows 
source folders and the right hand side 
shows the destination folders, as shown in 
Figure 1.
Making a Patch
Double click on folders to find the required 
ports. Note, the navigation bar at the top 
of the window expands as folders are 
selected to show the folder path. Clicking 
the folder labels in the navigation bar 
takes the screen back to view those 
folders.
Alternatively, clicking the tree structure 
button at the bottom of the window 
changes the view to that of the folder tree.
Description and patched to / patched 
from buttons change the view of port lists 
to provide different information about 
them.
To make a patch, click on the required 
source / input port on the left and the 
required destination / output port on 
the right to highlight them both. Clicking 
PATCH makes the cross point patch and 
routes audio from the selected input to 
the selected output. 
The REMOVE and MOVE buttons allow 
patches to be cleared or moved to a 
different port.
