The Mixer Module
This module has three pages with a few simple but important functions. We’ll refer to the
oscillators, Ring modulator, and Noise generator as “the sources” to make the information easier
to read.
Page Feature Range Description

Noise generator

3 Filter Routing Series, Parallel Places the lters in Series or Parallel conguration.
Setting Levels
To set the relative levels of the sources, access [MIXER]. The rst page is selected automatically.
In the top row are the levels for Oscillators 1-3, while the levels for Ring and Noise are on the
bottom row. Use the appropriate Control knob to adjust the level of each item, and use [SHIFT]
+ Control knob X to ne-tune the level.
The Solo Function
When creating a patch you may want to hear one of the sources on its own while making
adjustments to that source. Rather than setting the other levels to zero temporarily and
restoring them later, Hydrasynth includes a Solo function.
It’s easy to use:
• Press Control button 8 to toggle Solo from O to On. The Control buttons for all 5 sources
will light, which means they are still active.
• Press the Control button of the source you want to hear. Its Control button will become
brighter than the others.
• Press another Control button to solo that source. The rst Control button will dim and the
selected one will brighten.
• Press Control button 8 again to defeat the Solo function.
