Notes About Mod Routes

Here are some concepts to keep in mind while
working with Mod Routes:
• Some modules cannot be modulation
sources, such as the Oscillators or the
Mutants.
• Some modules can be used as sources and
destinations, such as the Envelopes and
the LFOs. In this case, the order in which
you press them determines the source and
the destination.
If all 32 modulation routes are occupied and you try to add another, the Hydrasynth will
show a message for two seconds that says "Mod Matrix Slots Full!"

More Shortcuts

Copy Mod X to Mod Y

You can copy one Mod matrix slot to another
and make one or more derivative routes. But it
won't work if a mod route field is highlighted;
press [EXIT] first.
1. Hold the Control button of the source
route.
2. Warning! The next step will replace
what's there, so choose an empty slot.
3. Press the Control button of the
destination route.
4. Modify the destination module,
parameter, and depth as needed.

Clear a Mod Slot

To clear a single Mod matrix slot, hold [INIT]
and press its top Control button.
• Only the first two parameters and the
Wet/Dry mix of the Pre-/Post-FX can be
modulated.
• Some modules only have one parameter
that can be modulated, such as the
Ring-Noise module; in this case, there is
nothing else for the upper Control knob to
select when that field is highlighted.
• The Ribbon offers three different sources
via the Mod Matrix. If you want to use a
different one move the cursor to Source
field and select it. For a description of each
source see
(p. 64).

Clear the Entire Mod Matrix

If you want to start over with all new mod
routes, hold [INIT] and press the [MOD
MATRIX] button. A prompt will ask you to
confirm the decision, because it's a big one. If
you're sure, press [INIT] again.

Be Random

If you're looking for something crazy,
randomize the entire Mod Matrix! You might
get lucky or you might get nothing. You can
always try again!
Before you do, though, try a few mod sources:
the wheels, the ribbon controller, start the
arpeggiator, etc. There could be a hidden gem
there. And once you get something interesting,
dial in a few changes to make it perfect. It's
okay, you can take all the credit! You're the one
who saw what was cool about it; we just rolled
the dice.
