ASM Hydrasynth Desktop/Rack Digital Synthesizer

Introducing the Hydrasynth Desktop / Rack: Your Sonic Canvas

Unleash your creative potential with the revolutionary sound engine found in the HYDRASYNTH Keyboard. This sound engine is not only a haven for sound designers but also an instrument that perfectly complements performing musicians. Engineered for boundless flexibility, we’ve meticulously crafted the user interface to expedite patch editing, minimizing navigation, and featuring convenient workflow shortcuts.

Unparalleled Sound Generation

Powered by a cutting-edge wavetable synthesis engine, the Hydrasynth Desktop / Rack boasts three oscillators and dual Wave Mutators, harmonizing a symphony of sonic possibilities. These oscillators invite you to choose from an array of 219 single cycle waveforms. We’ve redefined wave morphing through our exclusive WAVELIST mode for oscillators 1 & 2. This unique mode allows you to arrange and morph between eight chosen waves from our expansive library.

Evolving Mutators

Oscillators 1 & 2 merges into our transformative MUTATORS, which can mold, manipulate, and innovate sounds both novel and nostalgic. Select from processes like FM-Linear, Wavestack™, Hard Sync, Pulse Width Modulation, and more. The Mutants can even craft their waveforms, both in FM and Sync modes, offering you a new realm of creative control.

Mixer and Filters: Shaping Your Sonic Identity

Blend the magic within our oscillators with the noise generator and Ring Modulator via a versatile mixer. A filter duo, adaptable in series or parallel, crafts the heart and soul of your sound. The first filter offers 16 unique models for tailoring your sonic signature, while the second filter presents a classic SEM-like sweep.

Eloquent Modulation

Explore five Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), each flaunting STEP mode for up to 64-step patterns. Transform your sound with 10 waveform options, incorporating delay, fade-in, triggering modes, and BPM synchronization. Our five DAHDSR Envelopes expand your modulation toolkit, capable of being looped for LFO-esque modulation. Enjoy modulating parameters through multiple sources.

Endless Modulation Matrix

The Hydrasynth’s modulatory prowess knows no bounds. With 32 customizable modulation routes, the 29 sources and 155 destinations offer a plethora of options. Everything, including effects and the arpeggiator, can be a modulation destination. Even the matrix points themselves can be modulated.

Captivating Arpeggiator

Elevate your performances with the arpeggiator, sporting standard note arpeggiation, and phrase arpeggio modes. Parameters like RATCHET and CHANCE inject rhythmic diversity with an element of randomness, enhancing your live performances. Imagine modulating arpeggio parameters with LFOs, Envelopes, and more for on-the-fly variation.

Seamless Connectivity

Hydrasynth Desktop / Rack effortlessly integrates with your setup. While MIDI and USB/MIDI are standard, we delve into the modular world by supporting CV/GATE interfaces. Connect to Eurorack, Buchla, and beyond, expanding your modulation horizons.

Intuitive Control

Navigate, configure, and control patches effortlessly through the intuitive OLED screen interface. The Main system controls are your gateway to patch exploration, system settings, and parameter monitoring.

Mastering Sound with Finesse

The Master Control section empowers you with precision parameter editing, patch naming, and dynamic Macro performance. Eight assignable encoders and buttons grant you real-time control for sound transformations at your fingertips.

Empowering Macros

Patch MACROS revolutionizes live performance by granting deep control over the engine. Eight encoders and buttons, each mapped to eight destinations, allow instant sound metamorphosis.

Inspiring Patch Library

Embrace the soundscape with our curated collection of 256 factory patches across 5 banks. The BROWSER and Patch Manager plug-in simplify patch management, enabling seamless organization and expansion of your sound library.

Elevate with Unique Effects

Unearth a diverse range of effects that extend beyond the norm. Pre-effects and post-effects lend unique textures to your sound, offering exquisite delays and reverbs modeled after iconic effects.

The Hydrasynth Desktop / Rack redefines the boundaries of sonic exploration. This instrument, born from a fusion of advanced sound technology and user-centric design, is the conduit through which your musical imagination becomes reality.
