ASM Hydra Synth - Hello World

Download Acidic Dreams at dataline.bandcamp.com/album/a...
12 track album featuring Moog DFAM, TB03, Hydra, Digitonekeys, OP1 and Machinedrum.
I dig this synth so much… It has a nice, comfortable interface with a full on, unique sound. Lot of experimentation and discoveries are just waiting to be found inside this very competent synth architecture.
Whats most interesting is that, using the Hydra is like a trip. It takes you to places. Without knowing where it will end. Its poetic, psychedelic, rewarding and deep.
I also found myself absolutely terrified hearing ‘call for help’ coming out from the Hydra Synth, at very early morning hours… That Random button… Its a first time for me, being scared of a synthesiser.
Because of this experience I had with Hydra Synth, I decided to release these tracks as a 12 track album. I really dig these type of instruments where it has a strong character and gives you unexpected results - such as this one. There is a very clear reason for such an instrument to exist - and this should be a very important thing to consider in these times where there are electronic music instruments coming out at a much higher rate…
What started as a simple jam video with Hydra Synth, ended up much bigger than that with all the inspiration coming from the unit… Its almost hard to put it into words.
This thing is a pure wet dream for sound designers.

Amazing! I really like how the textures from the Hydrasynth add to your distinctive sound.

BACK once again with the Hydra madness, Elektron damager - power to the people

[@blushingfrieza]

So blessed im alive for some new dataline! Ty sir ❤

[@aristotlekumpis7095]

That thing sounds amazing! Thanks for the great demo and music.

[@DrJ3RK8]

Really nice! Love the quick synth-line in the first section.

[@AwakeFM]

Nice one Dataline!! From all the demos I've heard Hydrasynth reminds me sonically of my favorite VST - Vember Audio Surge. That's a very good thing imo

[@CaveWay]

I need more dataline in my life. Sounds dope. 👏

[@michalk2072]

Great performance and Hydrasynth is an amazing device indeed. Unique sound!

[@bobandy6412]

Best demo of this synth on youtube so far. You really show off the experimental side of this synth which seems to be what it excels in the most. I get how people want to demo its raw tone, but I prefer your jams hear showing what it can sound like with some drums and bass, gives me more of idea of how I could use it. Think I'm sold!

[@kenb7540]

Amazing set of jams. Nice one. 👏👍

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Nice job my brotha! 👍🏾 Thank you for the tunes! The DFAM 303 combo is crazy!!!

[@willswitchcraft]

some really sweeeeeeet moments. (my Hydra arrives tomorrow) Nice to see your paint brush handy. I've always had one in my kit for the past 40 years (especially for live mixing boards) Great Upload, thanks for sharing the exploration!

[@Snufferr5124]

Great performance. Breathtaking sounds.

[@ifaber68]

Very nice demo with this fantastic synth ;)

[@MaxMRasmussen]

Holy cow that sounds good!

[@Revelator72]

Sounds so good and well commanded under your capable hands...it took me over 20 minutes to notice the large paintbrush.

Gets the dust off the gear. I use one too

Hey, thanks for a real juicy demo of this new beast! 😎🎹🎅👍 Got too many boards now so looking up the desktop (can drive Poly AT from either my GEM S3 Turbo or Ensoniq TS-10!!!). "Dear Santa ...."

[@danielpirone8028]

You are a legend!!!

[@nedavine]

Killed it

[@antfactor]

Wow - gorgeous - love where things go at 2:16 then into minimal abstractions. The hydra sounds as lovely as it looks. Have not touched my MWXT in far too long. Finally getting something "fun" to sequence it with - a Digitakt. ;) Looking forward - thanks for inspirations.

[@shawnsaul7759]

antfactor I have an MWXT but am curious about the Hydra. Was also thinking about Quantum. You think MWXT is worth selling for Hydra?

[@christianssonicspaces494]

Awesome video!!! Some of the Hydrosynth sounds remind me somehow on my Ensoniq Fizmo.

[@Pighood]

I used to have a Fiz, and just got the Hydra

[@danilaplee]

very beautifull

In my opinion, the Hydrasynth keyboard is one of the most exciting new product announcements in several years.

[@dekalboy8816]

I am earring this sentence every 3 months so this obviously not true . This sentence remains like something fashion to say when a human being is excited by a new product

[@Truthasvictim]

The Hydrasynth is the first hardware synth I have been interested in in years, and that's even owning a pile of the best VST synths out there. I think this thing is going to sell massive numbers from the enthusiasm it's generated. My take listening to Glen talk about it's design and architecture is that there just few things they left out. 5 LFOs and Envelopes, 32x32 modulation matrix, what they did with the ocillators and filters? What's not to love?

[@TRADESMAN-xt4ce]

That's a nice brush

[@mynewcolour]

Lux Tools would be a nice name for the LP.

[@marcpinion]

Fantastic

Agreed

I feel your pain. But then again, my cluttered desktop is on the side of the desktop model with rack ears.

Both triggered by your empty brain saying "by any means, waste money on a thin man in a can, Casio sounding thingamajig "

[@favoriteblueshirt]

@@gravyguns Choice that's the option. Isn't it wonderful to be living in an age when working with more than four waveforms is possible. And when the ability to use invention and imagination isn't a crime.

Sucks i have to go work and fast forward this .... By the way, do you know what's not too often? Uploads by MrDataline!!

Nice video! love it.. How did you clock/sync the DFAM? Cheers

[@josephakers1431]

want a hydra so bad.

[@robertsyrett1992]

You should invest in a C-stand to mount your camera.

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

Or a cheap mic stand and tripod adapter. Costs like 30$ total tops

[@Kablehead]

Or save the money to buy more instruments. :)

[@MrMortaka]

que divertido

[@tusk1_]

that first tune was nasssty

[@wombra8314]

rad jam. need "hydrasynth" to create it? ......🤷🏻‍♀️ ..subbed

[@user-vh4bn4zs8c]

How was the OP-1 connected to Hydra Synth so that it transmits midi data?

[@damienwebb3689]

And where did he get that orange button on his monomachine...

[@vonchorsen]

Who disliked this video? Why bother being negative? Just move on ...

[@moschmuda]

how did you transmit op1s audio with usb?

[@LawrenHelder]

Likely it's only transmitting MIDI

[@MySynthDungeon]

Nicely Done !Sub ,,Cheers!!:-)!

[@percussionboy4357]

I’m sorry the giant robot was standing on your table when you made this. That could be intimidating. ... The music came out good though...

[@distorson]

I think what we all really wonder is which brush you where using. Please let us know which brand and type exactly? And could you share with us your thoughts of how it influenced your creative process of composing and performing music?

[@MaxMRasmussen]

It is a LUX Flachpinsel Lasur 60 mm x 9 mm mit Farbtank Of course. Its analog and works well over a rainbow of mixes.
