The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE is the flagship Hydrasynth, offering a dual sound engine setup and the largest ASM PolyTouch® polyphonic aftertouch keybed to date. The user interface is designed with the utmost attention to detail and offers a rapid workflow Each of the two sound engines features 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutators and 2 filters, that can be configured in series or parallel. Both of the sound engines has its own separate balanced analog audio outputs. The tone generating capabilities are simply unmatched. As for the performance capabilities, The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE has our proprietary 73-note Polytouch™ keybed that offers polyphonic aftertouch over each note, giving you the type of expressive control found only in certain vintage synths. Add to this a 4 octave ribbon controller and ergonomically designed pitch and mod wheels and you have expression and control that is not equaled in any other hardware synthesizer on the market… Today or ever. Dual Sound Engines The HYDRASYNTH DELUXE offers 16 voices of polyphony in SINGLE mode, that can be split into two completely separate 8 voice sound engines in MULTI mode. ​The two MULTI modes for separate sound engine operation includes KEYSPLIT which creates classic keyboard splitting between two patches, and DUAL which enables layering of two patches over the whole keyboard. ​A dedicated balance knob for direct adjustment of the mix between LOWER and UPPER parts of the MULTI patch is available on the panel, as well as separate stereo audio outputs and MIDI channel assignments for true bi-timbral operation.

Oscillators The tone generation capability is the heart of any synthesizer. The oscillators allow you to choose from a selection of 219 single cycle waveforms. Wavemorphing is a feature usually found on synths with preset wave tables. Creating user wavetables is arduous or downright impossible. Unlike most wavetable synths, our oscillators 1 & 2 have our WAVELIST mode. This mode allows you to pick and choose 8 waves, from our bank of 219, arrange them in the order you want, and then morph from one to another. mutators Oscillators 1 & 2 are routed into our MUTATORS. The Mutators allow you to modulate, bend and sculpt the sound in new (and old) ways. Each MUTANT allows you to choose from the following processes: FM-Linear - for making classic FM sounds. Choose multiple FM sources, including external inputs. Wavestack™ - creates 5 copies of the incoming sound and allows you to set a detune amount. Hard Sync - This gives you those classic hard sync sounds. Try hard syncing a morphing wavetable for some fun. Pulse Width - This will pulse width modulate ANY input sound. PW - Squeeze - This is a different form of pulse width mod that creates a smoother sound. PW-ASM - this mode divides the incoming wave into 8 slices and allows you to set how much pulse width mod will happen in each section. Harmonic Sweep - this will sweep the harmonics of the incoming sound.​ PhazDiff - this takes the input signal, shifts the phase and then creates a difference result with the original signal The Mutant's can also generate its own waveforms in both FM and Sync modes so that you do not have use another oscillator....

Of course the routing is flexible so you can choose the other oscillators as mod sources if you like.

Mixer/ filter routing The Oscillators are fed into a mixer along with the Noise generator and Ring Modulator. The Mixer allows you to mix levels as well as pan the input source. There is a balance control that allows you to choose how much signal of each source is routed to filters 1 and 2. The filters can be set to be parallel or series for ultimate flexibility. filters If oscillators and tone generators are the heart of a synthesizer, the filters are the soul. ​The first filter has 16 different filter models, giving you multiple options for tailoring your sound. The second filter is a 12db per octave has a continuous sweep from either low pass > bandpass >high pass or low pass > notch > high pass, similar to the way the classic SEM filter worked.

LFO's 5 Low-Frequency Oscillators…YES, 5. Much like our sound engine, the LFO’s are not ordinary by any means. The Hydrasynth LFO’s feature a STEP mode that allows you to create patterns with up to 64 steps. Having 5 mini step sequencers gives you an amazing amount of possibilities for further shaping your sound. Of course, there are also 10 standard waveforms to choose from. The LFO's all have delay, fade in, 3 triggering modes, smoothing, start phase, one-shot mode so that they can act as envelopes and BPM sync. envelopes 5 DAHDSR Envelopes……YES 5. An advanced sound engine needs plenty of modulation sources. Our 6 stage envelopes feature Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release stages. The time settings for the stage can be set in seconds or in time divisions, giving you envelopes that play in sync to your song. You can also loop the enve...
