Lfo Shortcuts; Copy Lfo A To Lfo B; Create A Mod Route - Ashun Sound Machines HYDRASYNTH Owner's Manual

Here are more ideas for using the Step LFO:
• The maximum Step values are +/- 64.0,
so the total range is a little wider than an
octave above and below the root pitch.
• Try using one or more oscillators with a
Step LFO and BPM set to ON. Different Rate
values provide interesting rhythms.
• Oscillators 1 and 2 could play step
sequences while Osc 3 drones on the root
pitch, for example.
• Use different values of the Steps parameter
to create odd time signatures like 5/4, 6/8,
7/8, etc.

LFO Shortcuts

These are described in greater detail in other chapters, but they're so easy and useful we've
included them here too.

Copy LFO A to LFO B

1. Hold [SAVE]
2. Press and release the source (LFO A)
3. Press and release the destination (LFO B)
4. Release [SAVE].
• To hold a pitch for one or more steps, use
the same value as previous step or the next
one.
• For longer step sequences, use LFO Delay
so LFO 2 comes in for the 2nd bar (set LFO
1 to One-Shot = On).
• The Copy feature described below is very
useful here: Copy one LFO to another and
make slight changes to create counterpoint
or to harmonize. Be sure to copy
Matrix (p. 73)
• You can invert a melody with mod route
level of -128.
• Remember, if you run out of LFOs, you can
use a looping envelope as an LFO.

Create a Mod route

1. Hold [LFO X] to select the source
2. Press the module button for the desired
destination, then release both buttons
3. Those items appear in the first open Mod
Matrix slot, with the first parameter of
the destination module selected
4. Select a different parameter within the
destination module, if needed
5. Set the modulation amount with the
lower Control knob.
