ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe

The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE is our 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. The Hydrasynth Deluxe can operate as a single 16-voice Hydrasynth or it can be split or layered, with a dedicated 8-voice Hydrasynth engine for each part. Each engine also has its own set of balanced analog audio outputs. The sound engines feature advanced wavetable synthesis with 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutants, and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel. The tone generating capabilities are simply unmatched. As for performance capabilities, the Hydrasynth Deluxe has our proprietary 73-note 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.
