ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe 73-Key Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer

The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE is the flagship Hydrasynth, offering a dual sound engine setup and a large ASM PolyTouch polyphonic aftertouch keybed. 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 a 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. FEATURES Dual Sound Engines The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE offers 16 voices of polyphony in SINGLE mode, that can be split into two completely separate 8 voice sound engines in MULTI mode. The two MULTI modes for separate sound engine operation includes KEYSPLIT which creates classic keyboard splitting between two patches, and DUAL which enables layering of two patches over the whole keyboard. A dedicated balance knob for direct adjustment of the mix between LOWER and UPPER parts of the MULTI patch is available on the panel, as well as separate stereo audio outputs and MIDI channel assignments for true bi-timbral operation. Oscillators The tone generation capability is the heart of any synthesizer. The oscillators allow you to choose from a selection of 219 single cycle waveforms. Wavemorphing is a feature usually found on synths with preset wave tables. Creating user wavetables is arduous or downright impossible. Unlike most wavetable synths, our oscillators 1 2 have our WAVELIST mode. This mode allows you to pick and choose 8 waves,
