After doing some testing I have found that the Hydra PL GUI is not working on a secondary machine that does not have synthedit installed. Answers I found to similar problems were of the "it should work fine" variety and were not followed up on.
If there are any synthedit users out there who have some fix ideas, it would be much appreciated. And if you would like to see the source files, you can get them here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40851128/save% ... hydras.zip (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40851128/save%20the%20hydras.zip)
My DC 2012 first impression has kind of been ruined, and I am very irritated about that. But if I can get the synth working fine on all machines, I will be happy.
