Clock Sync

• INT RUN: selects Hydrasynth as the master
tempo clock. Sync signals are sent to MIDI,
USB, and the CV Clock output.
• USB: selects the DAW as the clock master.
Sync signals are sent to MIDI and the CV
Clock output. Tempo cannot be changed
from the Hydrasynth.
• MIDI In: slaves the Hydrasynth to incoming
MIDI clock data. Sync signals are sent
to USB and the CV Clock output. Tempo
cannot be changed from the Hydrasynth.
• AUTO: Hydrasynth sets the clock source
automatically to the first source that
arrives. If the clock signal is interrupted,
another is selected. Order of priority: USB >
MIDI > Internal.
Note: Hydrasynth cannot be synced to an
incoming CV clock signal.

PolyAT Transmit
Polyphonic aftertouch is an amazingly
expressive tool. But it also generates a lot of
control information, which can clog the MIDI
data stream. Setting this to Off still allows
both forms of aftertouch to be used locally
but stops them from being transmitted. Mono
enables Channel aftertouch values to be sent
(one value for all active voices); Poly allows
polyphonic aftertouch values to be sent.

Local

When working with a DAW, setting Local to Off
can prevent a MIDI loop. Most DAWs have the
ability to prevent this also.

Expression Pedal setup

Press Control button 7 to access the pedal
calibration page. The Left display will prompt
