Product Description
To celebrate their 5th anniversary, ASM have released the Hydrasynth in a limited-edition silver finish with only 200 units worldwide! But that's not all - this Hydrasynth comes with a custom bank of patches unique only to this keyboard. Finished with custom side panels, and a certificate of authenticity.
The HYDRASYNTH Keyboard is both a sound designer’s dream synth and a performing musician’s ideal. The sound engine is designed for maximum flexibility and power, while the user interface was crafted for simplicity and instant access. Its many workflow shortcuts let you edit a patch quickly with a minimal amount of paging.
With an advanced wavetable synthesis engine, 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutants, and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the tone generating capabilities are unmatched.
As for performance capabilities, the Hydrasynth Keyboard has ASM’s proprietary Polytouch keybed with polyphonic aftertouch. This provides a level of expressive, per-note 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 are unequalled by any other hardware synthesizer on the market.
