• Mixing Console: Blend together the sound of a bridge pickup, neck pickup, and seven piezo pickups.

• Piezo Color Preamp: Add rich analog preamp color to the sound captured by the piezo pickups.

• Pinch Harmonics: Blend pinch-harmonics into your main tone using the mod wheel controller on your keyboard. Make your riffs cooler, and your solos scream.

• Palm Muting: Create palm mutes by holding the sustain pedal on your MIDI keyboard for “Dzj Dzj” metal sounds.

• Neck Position Mapping: Select from various neck mappings across all seven strings.

• Picking Behavior: Hydro uses AI to predict the correct picking direction (up or down) based on the tempo of playing, neck position, and velocity of the previously played notes.

• Real-Time Note Detune: A randomized detune option makes your tone more realistic and dynamic.

• Velocity Map: Control the gain applied to different velocity ranges.

• Attack and Release Controls: Adjust the length of the onset and tail-end of notes.

• Strumming Note Offset: Add a delay between notes to create realistic strums when playing chords.
