There are limitations, of course; the parameters of an Oscillator cannot be pasted to one of the Filters, for example. Here’s a chart that shows the possible combinations.

Page 24: The Oscillator Group
The OScillaTOr GrOup Oscillators are the foundation of a patch. They generate the most basic component of the sound, which is then shaped by other components such as Mutants, Filters, Envelopes, etc. Hydrasynth Explorer has 3 oscillators per voice. Oscillators 1 and 2 can operate in two different modes: Single and WaveScan. -
Page 25: Wavescan Mode
WaveScan mode This mode offers all of the same waveforms found in Single mode, but then allows you to select up to eight of them in a Wavelist. WaveScan will morph gradually between the positions in the Wavelist, using an LFO or some other source through the Mod Matrix. We’ll list the parameters first and describe them in detail later. -

Page 33: The Filters And Their Controls
Vocal formant filter compensated vs. uncompensated filters Filter compensation could be an unfamiliar concept. It’s another way in which ASM has adapted the sonic profile of various analog synthesizers. Here’s the difference: • Uncompensated filters: As resonance increases the low frequency content of the sound is reduced. -

Page 38: The Envelopes
The enVelOpeS What’s an envelope? An envelope defines the shape of a modulation: how it begins, how it ends, and how big it will be in the middle. Hydrasynth Explorer has 5 envelopes that can be used to shape any available parameter through the Mod Matrix. -

Page 42: The Lfos
The lfOs What’s an lfO? LFO is an abbreviation for Low Frequency Oscillator. LFOs are the cause of familiar effects like vibrato and tremolo, but they can be used in very complex ways (as the presets will attest). Hydrasynth Explorer has 5 LFOs that can modulate any available parameter through the Mod Matrix. -
Page 43: Lfo Parameters
For example, imagine that an LFO is routed to rather than needing to adjust each mod route multiple destinations in the Mod Matrix (which is separately. The LFO Level parameter is a fine-tune often the case). This parameter makes it possible control that allows you to dial in a modulation to adjust all of those routes with a single edit, amount with precision. -

Page 46: The Effects
The effecTS The Hydrasynth voice engine is so powerful that it only made sense to pair it with an equally powerful effects section. There are four independent effect modules available, two of which provide awe-inspir- ing delay and reverb effects, while the other two are the aural equivalent of a set of Swiss Army knives.

Page 58: Mastering The Macros
MaSTerinG The MacrOS Macros are powerful, expressive tools for song creation and live performance. Every factory patch has up to 8 Macros that maximize their creative potential. Each Macro is a combination of one of the Control knob / button pairs and a list of destinations, sort of like a private Mod Matrix grouped around the Right display. -
Page 59: Name The Macro
The Macro button is exclusive; when it is engaged the Control knob is locked out temporarily. This allows you to change the Control knob “behind the scenes”, so that the new Macro value is revealed after disengaging the Macro button. name the Macro Macros can be given a name with up to 8 4. -

Page 64: The Cv / Gate Section
The cV / GaTe SecTiOn CV/Gate connectors have a longer history in the music world than MIDI does! This is how the modules of early synthesizers were connected, using cables to carry the control voltages, gate triggers, and clock signals. And the resurgence of modular synths and Eurorack modules in the 21st century has brought these connection protocols back to the forefront of the music creation process for many musicians. -
Page 65: Output Connectors
Output connectors The output connectors (Pitch, Gate, Mod 1, Mod 2, and Clock) convert data from the Hydrasynth Explorer into voltages, which can then be used to trigger notes and control parameters on an external device. Each of the five output connectors has a different purpose. pitch Mod 1 and 2 A control voltage from this connector is intended... -
