The Eects
The Hydrasynth has such a powerful synthesizer engine that it only made sense to pair it with
an equally powerful eects section. There are four independent eect modules available, two
of which provide awe-inspiring delay and reverb eects, while the other two are the aural
equivalent of a set of Swiss Army knives. Any tool you need for your music, Hydrasynth has it.
Some parameter names are shown below in [brackets]. These are available as mod desti-
nations for Macros and the Mod Matrix. The values for these parameters have finer
increments than the others, which ensures maximum resolution when they are being
modulated.
Pre- and Post-FX
The only dierence between these two FX modules is that one precedes the Delay and Reverb
and the other follows them. They serve dierent purposes due to their placement in the signal
path, so they will often have dierent settings. But since their FX types and parameters are
identical, both modules will be covered in this section.
These are the FX types available for the Pre-FX and Post-FX modules:
• Chorus • Flanger
• Rotary • Phaser
• Lo-Fi • Tremolo
• EQ • Compressor
Each FX type has preset templates that can be used as starting points for your own creations.
When the patch is saved the FX settings are preserved.
Bypass
This is the default option. To disable the eect module, set it to Bypass.
