😂 Cosmos is a ton of fun!

Only thing patched is the clock actually! Here's patch diagrams for this patch for both synths: instagram.com/p/C-k-cVQOQAF/

Objectively, Hydrasynths are labeled as being designed, engineered, and made in China. I have no insight into who ASM’s manufacturing partners are nor their employment practices. I’d suggest reaching out to ASM directly for more specific answers to see if it’s aligned with your preferences.

@@0VRLNDR oh that's cool , like original work as oppose to mass produced approach. i hope I can go find a demo to try or borrow , what is it comparable to?

@@notaspectator Sarah Belle Reid has some great videos and demo of the Hydrasynth family, here's one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6l-jLdhtJuYipc.html

All of the KeyLabs have default mappings for Pigments, so the Essential 88 would work great.

He explains that in another comment. It's @ refurbished sound from an external mic. Because he did forgot to press "record" in DAW ) Shit happens sometimes.

The MIDI to CV converter lets you control arbitrary patching, but it also has a MIDI IN on the back panel, and a "learn" button on many modules, that will remember the channel number, key, or CC, even after powering off. The MIDI implementation on the Pulsar-23 is really well thought out.

So happy you found it useful! 🙌

Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!

I don't have one to verify, but typically in similar cases, it's dependent on the value range you assign on the VST. In other words, if both the VST and the physical knob allow values of 0-127, then in most cases the knob and VST knob indicators will align. But if you set the effective range of the VST knob to, say, 50-100, then they likely will not align *unless* you also can assign that same value range to your physical controller.

DFAM audio out to MiniFreak Ext Audio In. (DFAM doesn’t have MIDI fyi)

@@0VRLNDR The Behringer clone has midi out

It sure does! Just requires Pigments v1.1+

I am pretty sure you have to be in MPE mode from Hydra.

@@Romenet310 correct

That's a fun combo!

Thank you! It's a very liberating instrument.

This and other patches are in my Subharmonicon Cookbook, a perk of my Patreon ;) There are also low-res versions of dozens of patches for free on my Instagram account. :)

@@0VRLNDR I will have to check them out once I get my Moog Studio functional...

Thanks! Happy to give some advice if you need it; what platform are you using and where have you been feeling stuck?

@@0VRLNDRthanks so much... I've reached out to Moog and they have given me some steps to try out... I am Re-calibrating the Subharmonicon now and then I will try the last option they told me about since so far the first few haven't worked... I am thinking if that doesn't work it is possibly i defective midi to USB connection... Wish me luck...

@@iamYork_ Absolutely. I've also found with one USB to MIDI DIN cable I have, I can't transmit SYSEX reliably.

@@0VRLNDR that seems to be my issue I think... Do you know of any alternatives?

@@iamYork_ I've been using the MIO XC adapter with great success: bit.ly/3Bb6UdC

Yep just a 3.5mm to 1/4” TS cable. Or you can use an adapter at one end if you only have one type of cable.

Hi Ailwyn, I've thought about it, but you'd really need a separate mapping for each synth, since their interfaces are all very distinct. Are there any that you use more frequently than the other? Thanks!

Yes indeed! The main difference is that aftertouch isn't available on the Desktop. And thanks for the sub!

@@0VRLNDR The pads on the desktop do have poly aftertouch

@@CoolColJ Edit: Yes, thank you for the correction. I was getting it mixing it around with the Explorer & Deluxe's exclusive note off velocity. www.ashunsoundmachines.com/hydrasynth-chart

I haven't used Diva, but I've considered Serum for sure. Pigments has largely replaced my use of Serum, but I agree it would be nice to have a mapping to a similarly versatile free VST. Thanks for the feedback!

🙌🙌

Thank you Keith!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Kris!

Let me know if you try this out!

@@0VRLNDR okay def will 💪🏾

You’re welcome! Let me know how you find using the presets!

Aw, cheers Margaret!

You're welcome, James!

They are such fantastic digital synths. The Explorer replaced my Nord Lead A1; the sound design and expressiveness of the Hydrasynth family is amazing. These presets work with all of the Hydrasynths, so no worries there. The Desktop version of course doesn't have a pitch bend or mod wheel, but all of the other parameters will be mapped to the controls for you.

The DFAM alone is such a rewarding and flexible synth! They both inspire me daily.

It’s so fascinating! I’ve got some in-depth tutorials planned for early this year.

That's a valid opinion for sure, and something that I have missed at times as well. I don't think it was an issue of not being able to work it out, but more that they thought it would be more interesting if CV controlled the modulations instead of a traditional v/oct pitch. Makes me wonder if anyone-particularly those who built the DIY version-hacked in v/oct tuning via CV. That said you can get some really interesting sounds that would otherwise be a very complex patch by running external audio into the CV Voices input. Everything's a trade-off!

Thanks Keith, me too!

Haha now I can’t unhear it!

Thanks Marco! It's an instrument that keeps giving.

@@0VRLNDR I thought so, thats why I ordered one just yesterday 😁

It is certainly up there on my list too! Would love to hear how you integrate it into your music. If you're on IG, tag me sometime in a post that uses the Enner! @0vrlndr
