ASMASM Hydrasynth Keyboard
The HYDRASYNTH keyboard is both a sound designers dream synth as well as a performing musicians ideal. The sound engine is designed for maximum flexibility. At the same time, we designed the user interface in a way to allow you to edit the patch quickly with a minimal amount of paging and many workflow shortcuts.
Utilizing an advanced wavetable synthesis engine, 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutators and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the tone generating capabilities are unmatched.
As for the performance capabilities, The HYDRASYNTH keyboard has our proprietary Polytouch™ keybed that offers polyphonic aftertouch over each note, giving you the type of expressive control found only in certain vintage synths.
Features
- - Polytouch Keybed: The new ASM Polytouch Keybed allows not only the standard velocity and aftertouch found on other keybeds but we support fully polyphonic aftertouch.
- - Oscillators: The 3 oscillators allow you to choose from a selection of 219 single cycle waveforms.
- - Mutators: The Mutators allow you to modulate, bend and sculpt the sound in new (and old) ways.
- - Mixer / Filter Routing: The mixer allow you to mix levels as well as pan the input source./ The filters can be set to be parallel or series for ultimate flexibility.
- - Filters: The Hydrasynth has two filters that can be configured in series or parallel.
- - LFO'S: The Hydrasynth LFO's features a step mode that allows you to create patterns with up to 64 steps.
- - Envelopes: Our 6 stage envelopes features Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, and Release stages.
- - Modulation Matrix: The modulation capabilities on the Hydrasynth are endless.
- - Arpeggiator: The arpeggiator allowas for standard note apreggiations but also has a phrase arpeggio built-in.
- - CV/ Gate - MIDI- USB: There is the standard MIDI and USB/MIDI interfaces on the synth but we go deeper and allow the use of CV/GATE interfaces for connecting to the modular world.
- - Main Controls: The Main system controls are where you navigate your patches, configure system settings and see parameters like the envelopes, waveforms, filters in the OLED screen.
- - Master Controls: There is the standard MIDI and USB/MIDI interfaces on the synth but we go deeper and allow the use of CV/GATE interfaces for connecting to the modular world.
- - Macros: The patch MACROS are designed to allow the user deep control over the engine in live performance
- - Patches: The Hydrasynth comes with 5 banks of 128 patches in total. We hired some of the best patch designers around to create the 256 factory patches.
- - Effects: The effects chain goes beyond the typical ones found in other synths. Pre-effects and post-effects give you some unique ways to process your sound.
