This is why I keep browsing KZbin synth videos. Just the fact that it has free running oscillators, I don't believe I have seen that nugget of info before.

You should make some preset packs. You easily sell those.

[@billybartcody3591]

Some beautiful sound design on display, you should take some time to put a preset pack together. Sell it for a reasonable price and you'll move a ton of them.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Random is one of my favorite features. It can come up with some unique ideas and starting points.

[@Jesoteric]

I just ordered this synth as my first hardware synth and I’m a newbie and the more I look into it the more intimidated I’m becoming by the whole undertaking, I have zero knowledge of sound design, by the way the sounds you were showing and the awesome melodies you were dropping were tight my man, your a talented artist

[@eddmeyer]

really nice point of view here. I'm waiting for mine, so amazing

[@michelebass5151]

A major criticism is that it can't sound analog. So many Hydrasynth patchmakers are showing other wise. The presets seem to be made to show of the poly aftertouch, vs concentrating on showing it off sonically.

[@LAZ-org]

Definitely needs to have some post-processing through an analog pedal to help remove the more tin/glassy DX7 feel. I think I use it more as a controller w the beautiful keyboard w aftertouch, polyphony and release velocity for other analog synth modules. Also works great for Arturia’s CS-80 and Pigments with their polyphony and aftertouch abilities. Great for what it does and an amazing first synth! 🤘

[@GoodAfternoonDave]

If you work on your sound design skills you'll find the hydra is blank canvass that can sound like whatever you want it to, if use it right.

[@LAZ-org]

@@GoodAfternoonDaveBut then I wouldn't need to buy more synths and that's no fun ;)

[@CR-sj7xd]

@@LAZ-org then you buy only analog sounds and miss the "thin glassy dx7 sound"

[@LAZ-org]

@@CR-sj7xd I just know the day I get rid of mine will probably be that day where I need a great Taco Bell/Top Gun "bong" sound.

Nice review, thanks.

[@dilliot2k]

Thank you for taking a moment to check it out!! great Synth!

[@mikehemens9359]

Ray Barbee just put out a youtube vid called "daydreaming" and he plays this on it.

[@thejollyjoker187]

You won't believe what you was missing if you get a 49 key version of this, or even the deluxe..

[@longlost_friend]

that yarbrough and peoples!!!

[@GetInTouchTV]

if only i had the money.

[@bluberrykush3912]

bought one used a few days ago, can't wait for it's arrival 😁 my first synth, too.

[@malikdavis6091]

sweetwater has afterpay. I had mine for 2 weeks.

[@GetInTouchTV]

@@malikdavis6091 thats cool but im still paying off other stuff.

[@freshkidblaze]

Its really good for drum design too. The fm is 🤌🏾🔥.

[@Frank-vz5zf]

Great to hear this !

[@haderlumpi]

Very nice review, thank you! The sonic spectrum of the Hydrasynth always amazes me. Like some other KZbinr said: this machine can do it all. Analog-ish sounds, harsh digital sounds ... so cool. I mean, yeah sure, a 5k analog synth might have the upper hand when it comes to pure analog sound. But on the other hand the Hydrasynth gives you so much flexibility. And in the mix most people won't be able to tell the difference anyway ;-) I also think that the big brother, the deluxe version, is a hell of a synth. But it's most likely more suited towards live performances.

[@anna_surv]

It’s nice and very complex but dope!!! I like the lights. Thank you for sharing!!!😊👏🏼🎉🎵🎹💕

[@unduloid]

I slept on a synth once. My back hurt for _days._

[@nomanshigh3058]

I bought one with basically ZERO knowledge of keys or synths. I'm so hooked. I'll set up arps or get the loop pedal out and play drums along with sick synth lines. This thing and the Nord Drum go together so well that it makes me think God is real, this can't be a coincidence.

[@Frank-vz5zf]

Very encouraging similar position, I have an mpc 2000xl just ordered this synth and I plan to spaz on this thing 😆🥳

[@FutureFenyx]

Super great digital synth, hits way above its pricetag. I have the desktop but I want the deluxe now.

[@Fluxwithit]

yo , watching now. nice to see you on it

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

It’s Saturday, April 27, 2024 as I comment. In 2 days, I’ll probably order a Hydrasynth Explorer for myself. One of its short-term applications will be succeeding my KARP Odyssey when I go to rehearse with my current band. The Odyssey is equipped with the PPC pads. I imagine I will relate to the touch strips from the angle of having used the PPC pads while playing the Odyssey.

[@simonjonasmusic8410]

Jesus...GREAT presets man! Been thinking about the Deluxe a pretty long time now... i think this kinda settles it

[@Massproduce201]

Def need these presets are there any plans to release them on your site?

[@dilliot2k]

@@Massproduce201 yes. I will be finishing the collection

[@Massproduce201]

@@dilliot2k niceeee TY

[@malikdavis6091]

You should make a present bank of 50 musical synth sounds of the 70s and 80s

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Subbed ! 🤩👍
