Product Description

The Hydrasynth is a multi-headed beast of a desktop synthesizer. Virtual analog eight-voice polyphony with 3 oscillators per voice immediately offers a huge sound out the box. It comes into its own when you introduce its unbelievably vast wave-morphing, filtering, assignable macro and effects features. And that’s just getting started…

Pushing the Boundaries of Synthesis

If you’re looking for a sound that’ll surprise, inspire and frighten you at every opportunity it gets, the Hydrasynth is ready and waiting. As mentioned earlier, its virtual analog 8-voice polyphony is already exciting – but it becomes a different beast entirely when you dive into its full capability.

Let’s start with the wave-morphing. With 219 waves to choose from, you’ve got plenty at your disposal. Oscillators 1 and 2 can morph waveshapes with mutators – 7 mutation processes to be precise. At this point, the possibilities seem endless.

But it doesn’t end there; two filters offer 12 modes in total, from LPG to 12dB octave-morphing. Then there’s the LFOs, 5 envelope generators, ring modulator, noise generator, mixer and effects (including modulation, ambience and more) so you can send your signal on whatever wild path you choose.

Tactile User Interface

With the keyboard version of the Hydrasynth, you get a 49-note keybed with polyphonic aftertouch. Not only is this is an excellent synth for connecting to external controllers and sequencers; it’s an all-encompassing performance instrument in its own right.

Combining the performable keyboard setup with the advanced arpeggiation, CV and filter controls, the Hydrasynth becomes an intuitive, tactile unit that lets creativity flow freely.

Finally, the Modulation Matrix offers 32 user-definable modulation routings are available for you to bridge 29 modulation sources and 155 modulation destinations. You can route the modulation in almost any direction, including the effects, arpeggiator and Modulation Matrix points.

The Hydrasynth is a powerhouse of sounds and has limitless possibilities. The workflow is very easy with no menu diving, just a fabulous synth. The ribbon controller and polyphonic after touch are just stunning and a joy to play. Lots of modulation and pre-sets, (but of course you can make your own). Fantastic value for money. Its got to be one of the best Synths for years. If you decide to go and purchase the Hydrasynth you will not be disappointed. It has met all my expectations. 11/10

Have never come across a synth like this. Worth a look at if you don't just want presets and want to have a wide scope to do your own thing, limitless sounds possible. User friendly with all parameters there to change on knobs, not menus, instant octave up and down capability, after touch keys and the ribbon all very usable. had it a week and cant leave it alone, worth checking out on YouTube reviews.
