I can hardly wait until I can update my Deluxe to 2.0. The Hydrasynth aa it is with the my factory shipped firmware is amazing. Only feature I wish for but may not get approval is the voice allocation mode old school Sequential Prophet 5 and Jupiter 8 where playing the same note repeatedly will play the same voice. You can select this option on the Novation Summit and Rev 4 P5 and P10. It would be an awesome feature for a future Hydrasynth update.

It has a lot of oscillators types and obx is amoung them there is a lot of ability in there to create insane fat as sounds with . Just go to a store and spend plenty of time digging into some sounds it has the widest range I've heard in 50 years yes I was around in the 70s had real analog stuff. Choose a sound hit the voice button and go down in pages and see the ability to do analog type stuff stereo spread is amazing for example the morph knob too.

The per-voice mod is genius. It's like the vintage knob on the new Prophet 5 and other new Sequential stuff. Apply it to Pitch/Filter/Envelopes and you're super close to real analog variation. I just tied this per voice mod to the PFE and I can emulate my OB-Xa and my old rev 3 Prophet 5. Helps make digital sound more organic.

@Fluxwithit Жыл бұрын

No, this is far deeper. And there is already the analogFL parameter in hydrasynth (since 1.0) that does per voice offsets and even randomization of multiple parameters. This however gives you far deeper per voice control.

@dennisristow2102 Жыл бұрын

@@Fluxwithit Agree there is so mucn more than can be done. The Vintage knob is a prest mod matrix. This is more flexible as it's a mod source than can be routed to any parameter in the mod matrix!

I bought a Yamaha MODX6 a year ago but it's utterly unintuitive to me and there are so many different functions it's ridiculous and I'm considering a Hydra as well as it's mainly for Vangelis' CS80 kinds of Bladerunnerish fading spacey sounds so the ribbon is a major selling point and the Polytouch keybed.

@sweetwater Жыл бұрын

Hi SupraSmart68. I own both for two different reasons. The MODX series is great when you need a lightweight, budget-friendly way of playing lots of built-in and user samples. But the Hydrasynths are phenomenal when you want to build your own synth sounds with abundant ways of expressing yourself. -_Daniel_

@SupraSmart68 Жыл бұрын

@@sweetwater Hi Daniel and thanks for your input. How do you think the Hydrasynth Deluxe stacks up against the Arcturia MatrixBrute, given the 'Polytouch' (TM?) on the Hydra being so expressive?? The MatrixBrute looks way more intuitive and up front to me like the Behringer DM12 with all the individual controls at hand. Space permitting, I'll get them all I think as only I can make that decision. If there's one thing I've learnt in life, it's that I regret not doing things way more than doing anything wrong or stupid, as that's how we learn, like not taking all my crypto' profits two years ago!

depends on what that even means. "less digital" it will always be digital. so what does that even mean. digital also doesn't have just one sound. digital can be a wide range of sounds. this is one of those "lets me move the goal posts when someone responds" comments that doesn't really make sense.
