12:35 Nooooo! Don't do that! Just click and hold save, click and release osc1, then osc2 and finally release save. Osc1 is now copied into osc2. (Of course, afterwards de-tune both separately.) That modwheel trick to scan through the waves is a neat trick, though! Tip: in the modmatrix press the Ribbon button and scroll two places back. Bam! modwheel. ;) Tip2: calculating the depth of the wavescan is not that hard: 128 (max) / 8 (slots) * 5 (used) = 80. Another small thing to add: since you explained everything like to a beginner, you also should have mentioned you've disabled vibrato on the modwheel in the voice menu. After saying all this, thank you for sharing your insights. I really like following these videos.

How exactly I managed to overlook that feature is a mystery. Thanks dude! That serves me alot of time.

Sweet demo. I have an SCI Prophet VS and a Waldorf Microwave XT, this thing sounds very similar. Hopefully in the next release they will let you import your own single cycle waveforms.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Prophet VS filter is so much better.

There is just so much to this incredible instrument. Thank you for making these videos.

[@yukimafia]

You can load your own wavetables to hydrasynth?

[@MajorOSC]

No, the video is mostly about the process of selecting invidual waveforms to form a cohesive wavetable. Workflow, the process / approach in selecting waveforms, and then some interesting ways to modulate them.

[@Eaonsound]

No you can’t

[@scottk3292]

I had the idea that the waveforms might be designed to imitate real-world sounds, if I only knew which to use as transients, etc. Maybe these might create a good "wooden" sound, while those are more like a stringed instrument. But your initial comments about where on the freq spectrum these waveform choices are got me thinking I might be way overthinking this. I really appreciate you sharing how you fish through the waveforms looking for a good fit. To me, the waveform choices are a bit overwhelming, so this strategy is really helpful.

[@boolage]

can you please point to the envelope tutorial video?

[@oscillatorempire9441]

Not sure if I'm ever ended up making one. This is an old video. Shot before I knew the shortcut for copying over wave tables, mutators, etc.

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Wow, long time no see. You still got the Summit?

[@petewigley9985]

Hi, is it possible to get your pro 3 sound bank? Your website doesn't work.

[@MajorOSC]

[e-mail] I'll send ya the link.

Great video; I have a stupid question that's driving me nuts: How can I unlink the Mod Wheel from the vibrato? I'd like to link it to PolyAT. When I go into Voice and reduce Vibrato to 0, then assign PolyAT to vibrato, it ONLY works when the mod wheel is turned up and I'm pressing a key hard, however, it affects ALL keys, so it's not behaving like poly AT. It's behaving as if the PolyAT is rather "re-engaging" the global (mod wheel) vibrato. This is super frustrating and I can't imagine why they wouldn't make vibrato a basic function of aftertouch - it seems so damn obvious for expressive control of notes. What am I missing?

[@Kissed1982]

go to the Voices page and turn vibrato to O
