ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe

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.

2 Wavemorphing Oscillators

219 single cycle waveforms

• User wavetables - 8 user selectable ‘wavelist’ per osc to build user wavetables
• Every osc and patch can have its own user wavetable
• WaveScan parameter for modulating through wavetables.
• Keytracking – 0-200%
• +/- 3 octave tuning range

1 fixed Wave OSC

• 219 single cycle waveforms
• +/- 3 octave tuning range
• Keytracking – 0-200%
