Important Safety Instructions
Save Your Ears!
The product and its software, when used in combination with an amplier, headphones or
speakers, may be able to produce sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO
NOT operate for long periods of time at a high level or at a level that is uncomfortable.
If you encounter any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, please consult an audiologist.
Precautions Include, but Are Not Limited to, the Following:
1. Read and understand all the instructions.
2. Always follow the instructions on the
instrument.
3. Before cleaning the device, always
remove the USB and DC cable. When
cleaning, use a soft and dry cloth. Do
not use gasoline, alcohol, acetone,
turpentine or any other organic
solutions; do not use a liquid cleaner,
spray or cloth that’s too wet.
4. Do not use the device near water or
moisture, such as a bathtub, sink,
swimming pool or similar place.
5. Do not place the device in an unstable
position where it might accidentally fall
over.
6. Do not place heavy objects on the
device. Do not block openings or vents
of the device; these locations are used
for air circulation to prevent the device
from overheating. Do not place the
device near a heat vent at any location
with poor air circulation.
7. Do not open or insert anything into the
device that may cause a re or electrical
shock.
8. Do not spill any kind of liquid onto the
device.
9. Always take the device to a qualied
service center. You will invalidate your
warranty if you open and remove the
cover, and improper assembly may cause
electrical shock or other malfunctions.
10. Do not use the device with thunder and
lightning present; it may cause electrical
shock.
11. Do not expose the device to hot
sunlight.
12. Do not use the device when there is a
gas leak nearby.
13. Ashun Sound Machines is not
responsible for any damage or data loss
caused by improper operation of the
device.
Specifications Subject to Change
The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time of printing.
However, Ashun Sound Machines reserves the right to change or modify any of the specica-
tions without notice or obligation to update the hardware that has been purchased.
Before Requesting Service...
Please study this manual carefully and consult your dealer before requesting service. Service
charges incurred due to a lack of knowledge relating to how a function or feature works (when
the product is operating as designed) are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and are
therefore the owner’s responsibility.

Overview
The Hydrasynth represents a perfect balance of instant access, intuitive workow, powerful
features, and great sound, all with a single aim: to make the creation and performance of mind-
blowing music easier and more fun.

Desktop (p.24) for more information about the features specific to that unit.

PAGE Up / Down buttons
These two buttons are lit if the selected
module has more than one page. If one of
those buttons is lit that means there are
pages available in that direction. If both are lit
then pages are available in both directions. If
neither is lit, there are no additional pages to
select.
Access buttons can be used to ip between
pages too, which works great if there are only a
few pages. But if the module has a lot of pages
and the parameter you want is more than a few
pages away, hold [SHIFT] and press one of the
lit arrows to jump to the rst or last page. Then
use the Page Up/Down buttons to reach the
desired page.
MACRO ASSIGN button
This Access button opens a page that is
like a hallway with eight doors, and behind
each one is a lab that makes a powerful
performance control called a Macro. You can
dene up to eight modulation routes for each
Macro, and then use the Control knobs and
Control buttons to manipulate the Macros
from the Home page. Each patch has its own
set of 8 Macros.
To learn more about what’s on the other side
of those doors, see the chapter Mastering the
Macros (p.69).
MOD MATRIX button
The Mod Matrix button accesses a digital
patch bay that provides up to 32 sets of
modulation routes per patch. These are in
addition to the Macros, although they can be
controlled by them.
• Potential sources for the modulation
routes include LFOs, Envelopes, Velocity,
the Expression pedal, either of the CV
inputs (Mod 1 and Mod 2), and any MIDI CC
# (Continuous Control number).
• Destinations can be almost any parameter
in the Hydrasynth, including any Mod
Matrix route. Additional destinations
include the Mod 1 and Mod 2 CV outputs
and any MIDI CC #.
There’s a lot to say about this topic, so you’ll
want to read .The Mod Matrix (p.73)
CV/Gate Section
11
4
These seven connectors allow the Hydrasynth
to interface with the wild and wonderful world
of modular synthesizers. There are ve outputs
(Pitch, Gate, Mod 1, Mod 2, and Clock) and two
inputs (Mod 1 and Mod 2). The outputs send
voltages and signals that can control external
devices, and the inputs receive voltages that
allow external devices to control parameters
inside the Hydrasynth.
The range of each voltage and what type of
sig nals are sent are dened in The System Setup
Pages (p.84), and information about how to
use them is in The CV / Gate Section (p.77).
Arpeggiator Section
5The Hydrasynth provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge
set of arpeggiator features that you can enjoy immediately.
You may have noticed that the Arpeggiator sections are
dierent on the Hydrasynth keyboard and desktop models.
But their capabilities are identical; the only dierence is the
number of controls on the top panel.
If you’d like more information, there’s a chapter dedicated
to the ins and outs (or “ups and downs”, if you will) of The
Arpeggiator Section (p.66).

Pad Mode examples
Chromatic: C
Pad #
17-24 E F F# G G# A A# B
9-16 G# A A# B C C# D D#
1-8 C C# D D# E F F# G
Pad Mode = Chromatic, Pad Key/Scale = C Chromatic; = root (yellow), # = red, all others = blue
A Chromatic scale contains all 12 notes, so none of the pads are grey. Instead, red pads are the
equivalent of the black keys on a piano, and blue keys are the equivalent of the white keys. The
yellow pads are the root notes, which in this case play a C.
Chromatic: C#
Pad #
17-24 F F# G G# A A# B C
9-16 A A# B C C# D D# E
1-8 C# D D# E F F# G G#
Pad Mode = Chromatic, Pad Key/Scale = C# Chromatic; = root (yellow), # = red, all others = blue
Selecting a Pad Key of C# shifts the range of the pads up a half-step. The yellow pads are the
root notes, which in this case play a C#. And again, the Chromatic scale contains all 12 notes, so
none of the pads are grey. Instead, red pads are the equivalent of the black keys on a piano, and
blue keys are the equivalent of the white keys. Their positions have simply been oset to the
left by one pad compared to a Pad Key of C.
Fretboard: C Major
Pad #
17-24 a # B C c # D d # E F
9-16 F f # G g # A a # B C
1-8 C c # D d # E F f # G
Pad Mode = Fretboard, Pad Key/Scale = C Major; Voice Scale = Chromatic
= root (yellow), CAPS = in scale (blue), lower case = out of scale (grey)
Above: Grey pads show which notes are out of the scale, but the notes still can be played since
the Voice Scale is Chromatic. Pad playback is very dierent after selecting a Voice Scale of C
Major (see example below).
