ASHUN SOUND MACHINES / Hydrasynth Deluxe

Hydrasynth series from emerging hardware manufacturer ASMH, based in Los Angeles and Hong Kong, California, USA. This is a flagship model that supports 16 voice splits / layers.

ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe is the flagship model of the Hydrasynth series.
In addition to the polyphony of 16 voices, which is twice that of Hydrasynth, we have newly developed and installed a 73-key keyboard equipped with the well-established ASM patented PolyTouch polyphonic aftertouch function.
It is possible to condense Hydrasynth for exactly two units into one and create patches such as independent key split and dual voice mode for every 8 voices.
Furthermore, the stereo balanced audio output of two systems is carried.

The readily accessible 4-octave ribbon controller delivers a highly expressive performance.
Hydrasynth Deluxe, of course, also has a rich CV / GATE interface for controlling modular and analog synthesizers.
The oscillator section, which combines ASM's Wave Scan and Mutator, and the filter section, which supports flexible routing, give you endless possibilities for creating sounds.
With an overkill of LFOs, envelopes and inserts / master effects, it's a perfect dream sound-creating tool or live gear that combines a synthesizer with a controller.
