ASM HYDRASYNTH DELUXE demo of the multi preset sounds, layers and key splits of pads, bass, leads, arps and more!
HYDRASYNTH is a monster digital wavestable synthesizer and has been a highly requested synth for me to feature on the channel. The day has come.
The ASHUN SOUND MACHINES HYDRASYNTH DELUXE is the flagship model in the range, which includes the HYDRASYNTH KEYBOARD, HYDRASYNTH DESKTOP and HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER.
More demo videos, tutorial and review to come.

You could see the real pleasure you were having in playing this synth, it sounded fantastic and helped to bring out the real joy in playing an instrument which helped you play well because it just felt right, I can imagine vangelis playing this and thinking it was as good if not better than the CS80. A wonderful synth that you played with real feeling.

In that it has poly aftertouch? I'd say to be this generations CS80 a synth needs to be bulky, expensive and a little more exclusive. To be a CS80 contender you need to be analogue too, VCOs. Something more like a Polybrute.

@@6581punk certainly in terms of performance control. Analog is overrated. Exclusivity is elitist. This axe is still not inexpensive for most musicians. Digital sound generation along with controlled emulations of distortion is now indistinguishable from pure analog, which was always harmonically limited.

Hello Woody, may I ask a question regarding an older video? When you were comparing Yamaha MODX's piano to a VSTi piano you mentioned that computers tend to have a latency issue. I always have some latency on my computer, but it's old and not fast enough altogether. I wonder if buying a really good computer with a proper audio interface (ASIO driver) would solve the latency problem completely. So I want to ask if you notice at least a slight latency while playing VSTi piano, I mean really playing, a lot of notes with a sustain pedal, or it works as smoothly as a hardware instrument? Thank you a lot.

ASM put an incredibly versatile synth on the market that is a deep, sound design tool and for less than $2K (which in itself is a feat). Yes it’s digital…but it crosses over into the flexibility of what any number of analog synths can do. Cutting edge technology and the most satisfying sounds.

Great sound and features but wondering if the price of entry is worth it. With the introduction of the Montage M line you get all the analog'ish goodness, touch interface for modifying sounds live, the AN engine plus the FM and AWM2 engines AND a full featured workstation. Granted at a little over 2x the cost for the Montage M8x you also get the polyphonic aftertouch as well and it's an all in one, one and done, solution.

yes, that is worth pondering over. question is do you need or want the workstation or the synth! i would say that the hydra is much more hands on in the control and expressiveness of the synth, and the OS of the montage can be quite intimidating compared to the the hydra. but if you need all the realistic pianos, guitars, woodwinds, drums, multitimbral, sequencer then montage ftw!

Wonder if there will ever be a workstation version of the Hydra. 32 or 64 voice, multitrack sequencer :) In the meanwhile, I'm selling my explorer and upgrading to the Deluxe soon. For the money, it's a very solid synth that is very unique and expressive. I will say, it would have been cool to have some sort of electronic drum setup via a 16 channel multi timbral ability. Can't got two far with only two different timbrals LOL. Another cool thing would be an actual drum machine with all the functions of Hydra . Even if it was only 4 or 6 voices at once. We can step into the realm of Elektron level drum sounds.

It's one hell of a synth. The only thing I don't like it's the wavetables. I really don't like their implementation. Way too complicated, WT are supposed to be easy, I would had much more preferred the traditional implementation and to be able to import your own wavetables. But even if their WT is barely usable for me, that thing is a beast!

aren't wt synths always complicated? i don't see how this is harder than other hard/software implementations.

We can always count on Woody to make a synth like it was designed to sound like. Two handed performing and not all sequencing and arpeggios.

I don't get old timey synths like this. Why not just buy a Yamaha Montage 8x?

many would argue that the synth engine on the hydra is much more modern and powerul that the montage. and to answer your question, $4500!

The Hydrasynth is not breathtakingly beautiful! The sounds are way too basic and there aren't the crazy random alterations going on in a vintage synth. Hell, soft synths like the GX-80 and Diva are better sounding than this! Its a shame synths evolved in this basic direction and fooled everyone when their origins were far better.
