Is there any way to save a preset in Hydra?

How about a way to create a soundbank?

Thanks in advance for any help.

1) I think the obvious place to start (as much as I hate to admit it) is with: Is there a manual for Hydra? I realize it's all on one screen & it's pretty basic stuff, but . . .

There is. It's installed alongside the DLL file on PC (I don't know how any of this goes on Macs) in a folder named Hydra.

Alternatively, you could do a search for 'Hydra Manual.chm'

2) How does one save a preset in Hydra? I don't see a save, a load or anything on the main body. I haven't been able to find a way to open another dialog for it. I know I can click on the blue rectangle where the preset's name is & pop up a window with a list of the presets in the bank.

Saving presets for Hydra rely on the abilities of your host to do so.
They are standard .fxp files.

3) Is there a way to make a new soundbank?

It's a standard .fxb file.
Generally, you would make a bunch of presets (fxp) files, then load them all into "slots", and export them all collectively as a bank. Again, how you would do all that depends on the capabilities of your host.
