You beautiful sonofabish. Here I recently found out the Keystep 37 lacks polyphonic aftertouch. Thanks for the heads up!

Synchronicity! I just tried this and it works great 🐯😁

this is absolutely fantastic

Can you make some bass lines with this synth?

Love these Ken!

I’m an early adopter of the HydraSynth but a “beginner” in subtractive synthesis. I bought few electronics instruments and machines (MPCX, DeepMind12, MinilogueXD, RD-9, ARP2600M) in the goal to learn and enjoy them all my life. I’m the kind of guy who keeps things for life to learn deeply EVERYTHING instead of scratching the surface and reselling to buy new stuff. Watching videos of men who participated in the making of my stuff is the best thing I can find on Internet. Pure treasure for me, best way ever to learn ! I would like to deeply thank you for your sharing dude this is a gem of a video Big salut 🫡 from France ViNZ.

Wish there was an update to make it bi-timbral, without using multi or splits?

thank you!

I love watching your hydrasynth experiments! It's about as close to the feeling of sitting at home playing on mine as I can get

is there any desktop editor for Hydrasyth?

This is such a good interview, wonder what he’s up to these days

Hey Ken, I use Maschine MK3 and a Keystep (connected to the Maschine) to trigger the Hydra(its the one synth I kept when going back to DAW ). Evrything works fine (Midi Tx & Rx for knobs ,pads, & keys) except the arp doesn't work when using the pads and keys from the Machine & Keysytep respectively. What am I missing? Is it a clock thing? Right now the clk is set to auto and receiving the clock from the mascine mk3. Thx for any info. ciao

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Do you use a USB cable or 5 pin midi cable to connect the HS to the computer?

Best video on the iridium for me.

🎉great vid 🎉

Outside the scope of this video but maybe you can answer this question: Is it possible to send the arp triggered notes via midi? key/pad presses are obviously sent but the notes the arp is triggering are not sent via midi. Is this not possible (yet, ever?) thx Sometime Im improviising and the arp sounds great but I cant capture it in my daw.

Do you think these are still good to get in 2024?? Worth $500 for 2 of them?

Great video, this was the decisive factor for me - how did you get the display to show the waveform?

yesssssssss

I am blessed to have found this. This exactly the topic i'm studying these days; i'm after clowning the simmons sds epb drum sound eprom recorder/burner: they called it blower. different type of companding than on the linndrums or dx/dmx/soundtraks though, on the simmons companding is analog, the d-a-c companding chips the other 4 units cited here used are very rare and dumbly expensive, as no one will buy a 100x lot for what they are selling them for, i went for sourcing to so i know. When you study things the easyest way to get how things work, imo; is to go back to the beginnings of the technology.. And i'll stop talking about this right now or else i'm gone for an hour of wrightin lol. thank you so much for this.

Awesome! I haven't seen enough of Marco. I love him in the Morpheus VHS training video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorTYqxsf7CGpdE

OMG I love this. I'm kinda obsessed with E-mu rack synths, and I've written a lot of signal processing software. I'd love to hear him nerd out more about FPGA design. Not many people work at that kind of a low level, and you run into different kinds of problems when you have one chip that's 16-bit and another bit that's 24-bit, and one's big endian, and another one's little endian, and different things have different word lengths, so it just kinda wants to scramble itself LOL. Then when you're doing stuff at really high speeds you're worrying about differential signaling and 8b10b coding. I saw him talking about how the G-chip 1.0 used DMA and that's why it could do 32 voices because it still didn't need fast RAM because it wasn't caching anything. The G-chip was 1989, and I don't think anybody really caught up with that until Roland made the JV-1080 in 1994. I think Roland was doing things very differently with the JV-1080 and all their RISC machines, but I've never heard him talk much about Roland.

1:49 sounded like a movie

Well done video!

Wow pigments looks horrible here.

Love this synth so much. My first hardware unit. I love just getting lost in the instrument without having to look at what’s going on on a PC screen. Had many a good sound design session with this beast now.

Nice job! Any idea how to have the vst installed on Mac Os Monterey?

Great Thanks! I can' t find that sude bar with the learn button. Did they get rid of that in a newer download? Also how are you saving these midi maps in abbey roads?

Can I use the hydrasynth as a seperate midi controller with an akai live 2?

I started out trying to fix the octave down buttons and replace the mod wheels and here I am.

Is there a way to set the tempo with any degree of accuracy?

I was so happy when I found this video but so disappointed when I tried it. For some reason, it doesn't work with my Bitwig Studio, or I’m doing something wrong. I set the synth to Local OFF, Param TX and RX to CC, MPE OFF, and MIDI TX to 1. I think I've tried everything, but it still doesn't work in my case. Bitwig simply doesn't see any MIDI CC from the knobs except from the mod wheel. Yeah, MIDI CC 1 works fine. Could it be something with the synth (I bought it a month ago), or DAW or am I doing something wrong?

Your large black knobs look better than the official unit

Why are they so white and washed out. I don’t mean when it’s powered. I mean when it’s off it’s just ewww looking and it’s not as bright as the push 2 and the MPE is not worth is due to the pad not being large enough to move your finger.

😎

And people dare saying Hydrasynth can't sound warm ?

Great dem! ThANK YOU!

Hello Ken, thanks a lot for all your videos. Have you any information about a next firmware update of the Hydrasynth?

What an awesome video! Would the Hydrasynth Deluxe be equally suited?

Boa tarde

Top man as always!

Top THAT.

awesome fat as!

Hey dude grest video Soo i have tendinitis in my wrists just got a second hand push 2.pressing the pads down in sequencer mode takes allot of effort for it to engage is it any easier with pushing the pads with push 3.

Noob question. Does this work with explorer too?

I’m now jonesing slightly less for a Generation Loss. Good stuff

Would be so nice if you shared the patch🙏🏻
