For owners of other Hydrasynth models, you can now get all Single patches used in the video for free! They are included with Hydrasynth Manager 2.0 now. *Have a Merry Christmas!*

[@nsjx]

Oh wow, Thanks. Had no idea about the new manager either :) Have a nice Holiday ASM

[@macronencer]

The second demo I've seen from Dominic Au and just as impressive as the first. He's a Demogod!

[@ToyKeeper]

It's basically the best synth on the market. I hope I can afford one some day!

[@TheMachinesWon]

that synthwave jam at 2 mins was so good! What a great sound!

[@ShaunCymruDS8]

Really liked this performance Mr Au very impressive, you made the Hydrasynth really sing. If I didn’t already own one I would be ordering one now ! Thanks ASM for such an amazing synth.

[@dvamateur]

Excuse me , but what I am really enjoying here is the Simmons-like snare drum!!! It feels so refreshing to hear that sound come back. Anywho, I went to the music store recently, and I checked out the Hydrasynth Deluxe. What can I say? It's beautiful!!! The knobs feel good and solid, and move very smoothly. Ditto for the unique type modulation wheels, they are fantastic!!! The keyboard feels fantastic, I mean, what's not to like? I also like the Ensoniq ESQ-1/Casio VZ-1 concept of the module switches taken to the next level in the Hydrasynth. The Kurzweil K2500 style ribbon is there, and it's great!!! And finally the Roland D-50/Yamaha DX7II bi-timbral mode with the layer and split functionality of the Roland's upper/lower tone structure, and Yamaha's dual mode, respectively. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that Hydrasynth has copied some of the features of previous synthesizers. What I like about this that I can have a link to some previous synth models, to give me some comfort and familiarity, and then get ready to explore the Hydrasynth innovative multi-display user interface and a very extensive sound capabilities. Kurzweil's V.A.S.T. sound architecture comes to mind also, and the new K2700 mibht be a competition to the Hydrasynth Deluxe in terms terms of sonic capabilities, albeit at a higher price-point of course. I like the Hydrasynth Deluxe a lot. I just purchased the Jupiter-X and Nautilus 73-key, and looks like the Hydrasynth Deluxe is going to be my next synthesizer, unless I strike it rich somehow, and perhaps go for the Kurzweil K2700. Wish me luck, or I am going to go bankrupt here, so many great synthesizers on the market...

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Wow! Thank you for the awesome music and Demo. Now I'm going to have to get one of those! Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

This is wonderful! I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my #Hydrasynth Deluxe from #Sweetwater, once they finally make their way to our shores...

[@negativehertz]

I am also waiting on my Hydrasynth Deluxe from Sweetwater. I ordered the same day the intro video dropped back in September.

[@JayaLove]

I’m waiting for my Explorer to come to the US also. Kraft Music.

[@JayaLove]

I think I also ordered in September. I believe it was the week or two after they were announced.

[@Helena081107]

I'm in EU, ordered my Deluxe early December. Delivery got delayed several times, and should "finally" be arriving halfway February... We're barely halfway January and I got mine delivered yesterday. Good luck (and yeah, it's worth the wait!!) ;)

[@Subparanon]

The multi-timbreality, it is beautiful!

[@socks7545]

Nice performance! I love my hydrasynth, excited to see more future updates and new possibilities with this device!

[@MajorOSC]

Fantastic performance!!! Awesome sounds!

[@Robguitarjarvis]

Very musical demo, very well done 👏🏻

[@vertigev]

Omg so good! Number 3 is my favorite, reminds me of these old school synth tapes I used to listen to.

[@scottmcdiarmid8196]

Awaiting delivery of this wonderful beast

[@nsjx]

Damn nice pieces with great grooves 😖🤘 Love my Hydra DT

[@bflash77]

I treated myself to a deluxe for my birthday this year. I am eager to create with it ⚡

[@per-axelstenstrom1886]

Thanks for a perfect demo!!!

[@safodata2992]

Thank you Dominic Au, production manager and sound designer, for my brand new (1day) Hydrosynth deluxe. Respect from Argentina. Gracias amigo !!!

[@thefool2007]

Great piece. Love ASM!

[@synthmania7275]

I’m in love with this machine!!

[@stanislav182000]

Cool , love the sounds

[@paulschilling2996]

Totally amazing demo, Dominic!

[@DoctorRevers]

So close to hitting that buy button. This put my finger right on it. Now just have to apply some pressure. :)

[@RIP_Milhouse]

Mate, I got a HS this week due to a price I couldnt refuse. Let me tell you , its the greatest instrument Ive ever owned. I have a couple Black Coporations as an example... They just got listed for sale! Do yourself a favour and buy a couple of HS!

[@johnbeckett8367]

Great Sounds and Great Playing

[@SallySparks]

excellent!

[@GertBoers]

Awesome demonstration of Hydra's capabilities!

[@simonlegrec]

One of the best ive heard..... Dominic...need an version...with 10 modulation knobs and 3000 sounds.....and many expansion boards

[@nomanshigh3058]

I've been watching ALL the videos available on Hydrasynth and Deepmind 12 wondering which one to get. Both are amazing but it's these ASM demos that have really sold me. I know I won't be able to pull it out of the box and instantly sound this awesome but the idea of potentially being able to if I work at it is very exciting.

[@kierenmoore3236]

About as good as each other, sound-wise, I’d say … but I think I’d hydrasynth, if only for the extra functions …

[@jamesdefrancesco7765]

Owner since Jan 2020. So many sonic possibilities. Looking forward to new updates!?!?

[@noisecommander590]

If I could choose any of the synths in that room I'd still pick the hydrasynth. Also, love the funky playing.

[@comfysynth]

So much more capable and much better value than the polybrute 12

[@mops58]

Very nice. I have the Hydrasynth Explorer. Very nice Synthesizer 😀😀

[@JayaLove]

Cool! You got yours. Where are you located?

[@mops58]

@@JayaLove Hello. I'm from Germany and you?

[@JayaLove]

@@mops58 I’m in the US. We are still waiting here.

[@derekcook3166]

it has been so hard to find videos that show case the power of the Hydrasynth. I have been thinking of one for the Poly AT and ribbon, and then sound engine to compliment my other "fun synths" (Prophet X, Summit, Wavestate), but most Hydrasynth videos (including, to be honest, most of ASM's!) make me go "meh?". This video and a few others showcase what the fuss is all about. I will be getting one soon!

[@robertotoscani8934]

God.......

[@carltheriot8107]

I have a Roland Fantom 8 and I am looking for the ultimate 73 key synth style keyboard to sit on top. I noticed the Deluxe Hydrasynth has a (USB with MIDI) on the back. Could I use this to play the synth keys on the Hydrasynth and feed selected Zones on the Fantom?

[@ErykMaler]

zdolny :)

[@dcashley303]

Great performance! Quick suggestion: is it possible to get ENV/LFO 'Delay' as routable destination for Macros and Mod Matrix?? CHEERS!

[@Helena081107]

just tried this, and afaik, I don't think it is possible, but with the massive modulation options you have with this synth, I doubt that's a big loss ;)

[@djanny8951]

when will ASM make a drum machine and completly smash all other drum machines out of the market ? asking for a friend

[@dekatran]

Amazing presentation! Where do drums come from?

[@MuzicGirl73]

How was the percussion background music created? I have the ASM Deluxe but kind of feel like I need to be a music engineer to understand it all. I don't have much background in playing other than on a grand piano or my Roland FA-07 and I do it by ear. I don't have a deep understanding of synths and all that it entails but I enjoy it I guess. I love music by Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, some of Gary Numan, Enigma, and Vangelis. I was contemplating on a Roland RD-2000, Yamaha MODX8+, or a Kurzweil k2700. I know these are different and have different purposes but for someone like myself who is starting out at age 49, only been playing piano by ear for about 5 yrs, my interests kind of vary and spread out. Having ADD doesn't help matters either. Lol.

[@Helena081107]

I got an original Hydrasynth a few months ago, loved it so much I didn't hesitate to get the Explorer version for my daughter (and myself when on the road), and even ordered the Deluxe version which finally arrived today. I'm trying to find back most of the patches used in this video, but quite a few of them are not there. Are those the ones that are included with the Hydrasyth Manager 2.0 ?? Also, can I already upload the custom banks that I made for my original Hydra to my Deluxe version without that infecting my Multi patches?

[@MarkoDeLaVoota]

QUESTION!! is there a "compare" button anywhere in hydrasynth ??

[@kierenmoore3236]

Which 61+ key synths have PolyAT keybeds, now … ?

[@DJminiLibra]

i look in vain for the synth at thomann

[@josenascimento6705]

How do you get the drum sounds? Thank you. JN

[@matthewfrancisbroderick3811]

how are all the parts being looped together? is some of this "sequenced" on the hydro synth or is it all through the daw?

[@gydur]

Deluxe? And expanded Hydrasynth? Or a totally new synth?

[@bpstudiohu]

Is the normal Hydrasynth capable to play this patches? What are the differences? (I just got a Hydrasynth key)

[@AshunSoundMachines]

Both Single & Multi patches were used in the video, in fact you can now play all of these Single patches with any Hydrasynth models. They are included with Hydrasynth Manager 2.0 now!

[@mrnitro30103]

which Daw is running on the pc?

[@Polypumpkins]

Ableton Live 🔥🔥

[@redsilver8847]

Great performance . Hydrasynths are the best digital synths. But, please...make us a sound editor (Korg Wavestate & Modal Argon 8 have a beautiful one) for free. Thank you.

[@ErraticFaith]

Korg lol. The less we have to do with that Japanese made rubbish the better. ASM have just begun - and already better than anything they've ever made. Give it time.

[@MobiusVideo]

@@ErraticFaith 🤣

[@jamiepastman5594]

It's a great synth. I'm getting one. But if you are a real keyboardist, then you have to challenge yourself and ask: am I playing this synth, or is it playing me? Too many people think when they push down a single key -- that triggers built in sequences and arpeggiators -- that they are being "creative" somehow. They twist the filter knob and feel powerful. But it's the keyboard that's doing all the creating all too often these days, while the operator (who is not really a keyboardist at all) believes that they are the creative force. From a grumpy old guy who has trained musically for going on 55 years, still learning and improving.

[@rocklee9199]

You can turn it off if you want. Or make it less strong
