The four loops are buffered with high quality, low noise buffers. The order of the effects can be chosen freely, either manually or with MIDI commands. The HYDRA4X contains two volume control blocks. One is fixed at the very end and a second one can either be at the very beginning, or can be assigned to any loop. -
Page 3: Signal Path And Switching
The heart of the HYDRA4X is a switch matrix that connects the in and output to the four loops, the volume loop and the mixer. All inputs and outputs are buffered with high quality, low noise buffers. That means that all returns can be used as inputs and all sends can be used as outputs. -
Page 4: Trails/Carry Over
The HYDRA4X has two volume controls. The Post Volume block is fixed at the very end. The Loop Volume block can be moved at any position. It’s either right behind the input before any of the loops, or it is tied to front or back of one of the loops. -
