Distort
Page Control Parameter Range Description
1 1 FX Type
9 types (see Pre- and Post-FX (p.
46)
Selects eect
1 2 [Drive] 0.0-128.0 Signal level sent to distortion circuit
1 3 [Tone] +/- 64.0 Output bandwidth:
-64.0 to -0.1: high cut
0.0: bypass
0.1 to 64.0: low cut
1 4 [Dry/Wet] 0-100.0% Sets dry signal/eect blend
2 1 Preset Drive 1-3 Selects template
2 2 Asym 0-128 Changes how clipping is applied:
0 = balanced (symmetrical) output
>0 = greater asymmetry
2 3 Curve 0-128 Changes saturation curve of
distortion:
0 = overdrive
>0 = increasingly harsh distortion
2 4 Output -36 / +24 dB Gain compensation
Delay Types
Hydrasynth Explorer oers 5 delay types, each with distinct characteristics:
• Basic Mono combines the stereo input signal and produces a mono delay.
• Basic Stereo preserves the stereo positioning of the input signal.
• Pan Delay alternates between the right and left input signals.
• LRC Delay outputs the left input, then the right input, then both, and repeats that pattern.
• Reverse takes whatever comes in during the delay period and plays it backward.
Delay Parameters
All of the delays have identical parameters, so we’ll describe them once.
Page Control Parameter Range Description
1 1 Type 5 types (see list above) Select delay
1 2 [Time] BPM = O: 1 ms to 3.00 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 1/1 Dot
Delay period
1 3 [Feedback] 0.0-128.0 Delay fade-out time
1 4 [Dry/Wet] 0.0-100.0% Sets dry signal/eect blend
2 1 [Wet Tone] -/+ 64.0 Wet signal lter control:
-64.0 to -0.1: Low pass
0.0: No ltering
0.1 to 64.0: High pass
2 3 [Feed Tone] 0.0-128.0 Feedback high-frequency decay
2 4 BPM sync O, On Toggles delay sync
