Sound dressmaker Jexus shared this Close Up & Play taste demo in their number of customized sounds for the ASM Hydrasynth.
All sounds are authentic and paintings at the keyboard, desktop, Explorer and Deluxe Hydrasynth modules.
Right here’s what they shared in regards to the technical main points: “I didn’t use any exterior FX within the demo; the entire delays, reverbs, flangers, noises, crackles and different results are a part of the Hydrasynth engine / mod matrix. Alternatively, I used some EQ-ing on decided on patches.”
Additionally they shared their ideas on programming the Hydrasynth:
“The HS is the furthest factor from rapid gratification, however on the similar time it’s essentially the most pleasant synth out of the entire deep synths I’ve come throughout in my passion / profession as a synth tweaker.
It does now not have any idiotic quirks that it’s important to “be told” from discussion board nerds with oscilloscopes in an effort to make the synth into one thing correct (like “flip this feature off, don’t use that characteristic, and use this output as an alternative of that output” = see Alesis Andromeda). However you do desire a other method and a few time to construct the sound, as it’s now not proper there at the panel. It’s one inch beneath it, and a number of other inches deep down for your mind.
I believe it’s rational to mention the synth is a no-go zone for overall learners; alternatively, if you know the trail of establishing a legitimate from scratch and feature some enjoy with tweaking synths, otherwise you actually wish to get started finding out it, you’ll most definitely accept as true with me that once the primary 3 or 4 days spent with the HS and its UI, the tweaking classes are a pleasure, now not a chore.
In the end an digital device has arrived to this global this is extremely deep, but playable. I believe a synth of this kind comes as soon as in a decade, and if it hasn’t set a brand new usual already, sooner or later its attraction will simplest develop.”
