Video Manual: Synthesis Technology E520 Hyperion Processor

This is a video manual I created with the help of Synthesis Technology for their new E520 stereo Eurorack-format Hyperion Processor. It features both updates of a number of classic effects, as well as new frequency and time domain processing tricks, all while keeping a very flat menu with a small number of powerful parameters – most of which have dedicated knobs and voltage control. Below is an index to the features: 00:00 demo of a few of the Presets 00:40 overview 01:12 front panel controls & connections 01:51 audio connections 02:33 Auxiliary output 02:46 menu & navigation overview 03:01 changing Algorithms 03:40 getting back to the Main menu 04:00 editing an Algorithm 04:58 Bypass to unprocessed input 05:07 Feedback & Wet/Dry mix 06:02 live controls 06:35 loading & editing algorithm-specific presets (Page 3) 07:38 external voltage control 08:35 Tap Tempo 09:40 Page 2 settings 10:36 internal LFOs 11:22 High Pass and Low Pass Filters 11:55 saving a Preset 12:46 Top menu 13:04 module-wide Patches 13:32 Preferences (including display options, Input/Output Levels, and Feedback Limiter) 15:17 SD card “whole module” save & load 15:23 UI colors 15:48 Utilities (scope, tuner, and more) 16:07 Dual Mono algorithm 16:15 conclusion There is one small correction for this video: Where I said the line level maximum input is 6 volts peak to peak (±3v), SynthTech has updated it to be 5 volts peak to peak (±2.5v). *Note that this video was shot using pre-production hardware and firmware (v.13 and .14). It was very close to the final version both, so shipping units should behave the same (with the exception that I set the display background color from blue to black to make it easier to read on video). Firmware updates beyond version 1.0 will of course introduce changes not covered in this video. You can learn more at the Synthesis Technology web site:https://synthtech.com/eurorack/E520/
