Depending on which Preset you load in hype I noticed you get different options available in the Macros section and these make a massive difference to what you can do with the sound but don't seem to be selectable/switchable by the user at all. Am I wrong?

The manual definitely implies they are only tied to preset and you can't just select one yourself (leaving all other settings intact.)

Macros
These six macro controls are unique to each
preset.


Does anybody maybe have recommended Presets that will take you to each option for at least a starting point when wanting to build sounds yourself? Without being able to manually select these sound designing from the ground is a fair bit harder....

You'll have to take some you like & edit them how you want & save them as a custom preset.

Go to the preset list and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Here you’ll find the category Init. This contains init-patches for all the different macros.

Sweet exactly what I hoped for, sorry for not looking fully at the list.

(Well almost exactly, would rater be able to switch it leaving other parameters....)

I made my suggestion thinking you saw those Int presets. Hype has many samples that would be good for keygroups.
