The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE is the flagship Hydrasynth, offering a dual sound engine setup and the largest ASM PolyTouch polyphonic aftertouch keybed to date. The user interface is designed with the utmost attention to detail and offers a rapid workflow
Each of the two sound engines features 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutators and 2 filters, that can be configured in series or parallel. Both of the sound engines has its own separate balanced analog audio outputs. The tone generating capabilities are simply unmatched.
As for the performance capabilities, The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE has our proprietary 73-note Polytouch™ keybed that offers polyphonic aftertouch over each note, giving you the type of expressive control found only in certain vintage synths.
Add to this a 4 octave ribbon controller and ergonomically designed pitch and mod wheels and you have expression and control that is not equaled in any other hardware synthesizer on the market... Today or ever.
Features
• ASM Polytouch 73-note semi-weighted keybed, allowing both ON/OFF velocity and aftertouch as well as full polyphonic aftertouch.
• High quality, standard sized keys
• 3 oscillators with a selection of 219 single cycle waveforms
• WAVELIST mode - pick and choose 8 waves from a bank of 219, arrange them in any order and then morph from one to another
• Mutators allow you to modulate, bend and sculpt the sound in new (and old) ways
• 8 Mutator functions: FM-Linear, Wavestack™, Hard Sync, Pulse Width, PW Squeeze, PW-ASM, Harmonic Sweep and PhazDiff
• 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel
• First filter has 16 different filter models
• LFOs feature a STEP mode that allows you to create patterns with up to 64 steps
• LFOs all have delay, fade in, 3 triggering modes, smoothing, start phase, one-shot mode so that they can act as envelopes and BPM sync
• 5x DAHDSR Envelopes feature Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release stages
• 32 user definable modulation routings
• Almost everything in the synth engine can be a modulation destination including the effects and arpeggiator
• Supports the standard voltages for Eurorack modulars, the 1.2V per octave Buchla standard, as well as some of the Japanese Volts>HZ products
• 8 banks of 128 patches (Single mode), 256 factory patches
