ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe Synthesizer

Flashback to the autumn of 2019. Out of nowhere, ASM drop the Hydrasynth: a more than welcome, completely fresh synthesizer that actually offered experienced sound designers a more satisfying number of nuance-tweaking options and parameters than comparable units. But, since too much is never enough, ASM set free the Hydrasynth Deluxe. Features of the ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe In essence, this Deluxe model is a double Hydrasynth in one box. The polyphony has doubled from 8 to 16 voices, the premium keyboard comes with 73 notes and offers polyphonic aftertouch, and the dual-engine with key-split and dual-voice functions features individual stereo outputs. Fully based on digital tech, the sound engine is capable of more than you'd expect of a standard virtual analogue synth and serves up traditional sets of oscillators, LFOs, envelopes and filters, all of which seriously add up. In terms of performance, potential and cool points, this is one of the best affordable synths out there right now.
