With the Hydrasynth Deluxe ASM (Ashun Sound Machines) presents a 16-voice digital keyboard synthesizer with Wave
Thanks to the chord function and the very extensively programmable arpeggiator, you have two very powerful creative tools at your fingertips to work out your ideas on stage as well as in the studio. The Hydrasynth
A small highlight are the five analogue outputs for CV, Gate,
Three full-fledged oscillators draw their base material from 219 waveforms. Oscillator 1 and 2 are furthermore capable of wave scanning, where up to eight waveforms can be crossfaded respectively morphed. By means of four "mutants" the oscillators can be further shaped; besides FM, three different types of pulse width modulation (PWM),
With two different filters that can be operated in parallel or in series, nothing stands in the way of detailed sound shaping on the Hydrasynth. The first filter covers eleven different filter models (including 12/24 dB lowpass, highpass, vocal). The second filter is a state-variable filter with a slope of 12 dB and is continuously variable from
The last link in the signal chain are four effect blocks to give the sound the final touch. The first and last effect blocks each contain the same selection from
What would such an oscillator and filter setup be without modulation! Five loopable DAHDSR envelopes and five synchronizable LFOs with several waveforms and trigger modes including a sixth vibrato LFO provide plenty of movement in the sound. Besides some fixed modulation connections, almost every parameter in the Hydrasynth
Absolutely performance-suitable and a guarantor for even more fun with the instrument is the 67 cm long Ribbon Controller, which can not only be used to modulate other parameters, but also offers a completely different and also new method of note input in Theremin mode.
Included is the so-called Utility Shelf, the removable metal piece extends the free space on the right half of the case a few centimeters, so a laptop or other musical instrument finds the necessary space on the Hydrasynth Deluxe.
