Oscillator Devices HYDRA – MIDI Loop Switcher

The Oscillator Devices HYDRA is a MIDI loop switcher series (sometimes called MIDI looper switcher, or MIDI controlled loop switcher). With the end of 2024, the series got a complete makeover with discontinuing the old HYDRA4 and HYDRA2E and introducing the brand new HYDRA4X.

The HYDRA4X is a MIDI controlled matrix loop switcher with four reorderable loops in a pedalboard friendly package. It introduces flexible volume control to the MIDI loop switcher market and incorporates parallel loops and preserving delay and reverb trails when switching.

All these advanced functionalities are accessible with the buttons on top of the HYDRA4X. No need for complicated and unstable computer software and no danger of obsolescence.

Features:

• Four reorderable mono loops
• High quality, low noise buffers with high headroom (8Vpp / 5.6Vrms)
• A volume control block with variable position
• A second volume control block at the very end of the signal path
• Running loops in parallel to each other or parallel to the clean signal
• Preserving trails of delay and reverb effects
• Small footprint (112mm x 62mm) and only 46mm in height
• Settings can easily be saved to one of 127 presets
• Compatible with all MIDI 1.0 compliant controllers
• High-quality Amphenol sockets
• Developed and built by Oscillator Devices in Germany
