If I blow my wad on a Hydrasynth, will it keep me preoccupied and off of eBay so I can stop spending, errr........money?
Well it makes perfect sense to me anyway! 😇
I really want this, but the made in China factor really matters to me more every day! But I do have to say that the poly aftertouch might make being a "traitor" easy!😪😎😎
Reveal Sound Spire eats this thing alive in terms of sound quality and versatility.
Hydrasynth, Cobalt 8x or minilogue which would you choose for the best features, price for what you get, and for sound design
Looks extremely tempting! Do you know if the desktop version has the ability to monophonically execute portamento glide from note to note? Outstanding review as always Mr. Loopop!
I've never wanted to buy a synth so much after seeing a review.
😍🔥🔥🔥
This synth(all versions) look like a cheap overpriced toy to me. I’d really rather have a good vst over any of these craps
I work at intel and in this year of our lord, Feb of 2023 they recently announced bonus and pay cuts. I spent my last hoorah on serious studio upgrades with Push 2, Deepmind, SL mK3 61 keys and Behringer 2600. All (except i think the 2600), Loopop sold me on. Next chance i get im blowing 2k on Hydrasynth deluxe, no compromises made FTW YOLO
Loopop is the best.
I really hope ASM makes a 49 mini key version.
After 20 years of being a sound designer, i can safely state that the way in which tech companies and the general population expect sound designers to interact with synthesizers is not just inept, but utterly inhuman. I'm a musician, not a robot, can some tech company please save musicians from the never ending button pressing on these synths ? It sucks the enjoyment out of making sounds, and is detrimental to fully understanding the routing of your sound.
I'm sick of editing menus, and switching between parameters using endless button presses. There's got to be another method, whilst still maintaining a complex routing option.
And yes, before anyone says, i know some analogue synths don't have editing menus or page switches, but most can't save presets.
Just picked up the Explorer and it's no slouch. There is no noticeable aliasing so far and I don't anticipate any considering my limited sound design. The random button is super cool and the build quality is amazing considering the quality of the builds of most other synths in this price range. The polyphonic AT is very expressive and I find the keys surprisingly reactive. Thanks for helping me make my decision Loopop ☺️
Channel AT is exceptionally limited and relatively useless with modern complex sounds. However, NRPN high-resolution Poly AT with Release Velocity on the ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe separates ASM from current synth manufactures and allows a keyboard to emulate a stringed instrument creating a new level of expression many professionals have been waiting for since the 80's.
I have a Hydra Deluxe, and managed to get an hour testing an Explorer in Store. Full credit to Loopop, but failed to mention that Deluxe has more Key travel, and the PolyAT is a lot smoother (less On/Off stepping, less accidental trigger, more pressure controllable/easy, and audible smoother transition in Timbre). It's a better Keyboard. I'll go further, the Deluxe has an excellent keyboard.
What about vs the MiniFreak? Which do you feel gives you better inspiration?
An update concerning the new Minibrute would be great!
last video you talked about the lack of not being able to split the ribbon sound with keyboard - is that possible on the bi-timbral deluxe? or is it even possible with the normal Keybaord version
Thanks for such a great review. I got both Explorer and De Luxe and for my personal playing the Poly AT is just the best, I could only have it on my TS10 or the Seaboard but these guys are just way more fun. Most of the normal Joe would not care or understand the things under the hood, but that's why we are musicians, to translate all these tools to a language everyone can understand: music!! Thanks again!!!!
Does the polyphonic aftertouch transmit over MIDI?
