ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe

The ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe is the new flagship of the Dydrasynth synthesizer series. The dual-engine setup with a total of 16 voices and the new 6-octave PolyTouch® keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch make it the absolute dream synth for musicians, performers and sound designers. It offers two Hydrasynths in one instrument: with KeySplit and Dual Voice mode, patches with 8 independent voices each are possible. Also new are separate balanced stereo audio outputs for each of the two parts. Clever detail: a removable "utility shelf" provides extra space for storing accessories such as expander modules, mixers, sequencers, laptops or small modular systems.

ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe of course also offers CV/GATE I/O for connection to modular and other voltage controlled synthesizers. Thanks to the WaveScan oscillators in combination with the Mutator waveshaping section and 2 user-configurable filters, the possibilities of sound generation are almost unlimited. A plethora of LFOs and envelopes, as well as insert and master effects, make this synthesizer a dream sound creation tool and the ultimate synth and controller combination for any setup.
