ASM Hydrasynth 49-key Polyphonic Wave Morphing Synthesizer
Features
- 49-note virtual analog synthesizer with polyphonic aftertouch.
- 8-voice polyphony, with 3 x oscillators per voice and 4 x Mutator waveshapers total.
- WaveScan oscillators offer a total of 219 waveforms.
Description
Offering 8-voice polyphony, "Mutator" waveshaping, and a 32-slot modulation matrix, the ASM Hydrasynth 49-key Polyphonic Wave Morphing Synthesizer is truly a next-generation virtual analog synthesizer for modern music producers. Rivaling the sonic capabilities of many popular software synthesizer plug-ins, each voice features three WaveScan oscillators offering 219 different waveforms, with four Mutators total for extensive waveshaping. There's a ton of potential for creating nuanced, nonlinear sounds — the five ADSR envelope generators offer delay and hold and can have either linear or exponential curves between stages, and the five LFOs offer a total of 11 waveshapes plus delay, fade in, and smoothing. Factor in the 49-note keybed, customizable PolyTouch response, expressive ribbon controller, and CV/Gate connectivity, and the ASM Hydrasynth could be the master controller your synthesizer rig is asking for.
