Hydrasynth - Ribbon Theremin and Arpeggiator Demo (They work at the same time!)

[@Unsequestered]

Correction: D# is the relative major of Cm, or I could have said that Cm is the relative minor of D#

[@rpguitar]

Actually, Eb Maj is the relative major of C min. The note spelling is important even though D# and Eb are enharmonic pitches.

[@peterkadarmusic9728]

I was just going to mention what RP said. That’s why the key signature is three flats. It doesn’t make a huge difference when you play or listen, because they are enharmonic equivalents, but it becomes VERY important when you’re reading music written in those keys.

You made my G.A.S. for this synth family even bigger, I am not sure whether I should thank you ;-)

[@thefool2007]

That’s quite intense. Nice patches and use of the arp.

I was toying between Novation Summit and this. I had a Summit on hold pending layby literally tomorrow. I just called them and changed that to a Hydra. Thank you. Saved me musically and put me onto better path!

[@Unsequestered]

They are both great synths. What version of the Hydrasynth did you end up going with?

[@bobe.4302]

Great video, I like this content with description of your setting and effects. There was enough detail to follow and enjoy. Educational. Thanks

[@Quark.Lepton]

Wait until you figure out how you can do that while programming the ribbon to play in scales, like Pentatonic or Mixolydian, etc., and do insane leads just by sliding your finger up and down. *THAT* is truly awesome!

[@vdbsamsung4773]

Wait u can do that?

[@leave-trace]

Are you trying to make dope sauce? Because this is how you make dope sauce.

so far in all the HYDRASYNTH tutorial vids ,nobody explains exactly what the GLIDE button does, I've had the synth for over a month now and still cant figure out what it does, it lights up but that's about it, I don't hear any change in the ribbon control and it doesn't open up any menu, so far it just seems just like a useless button that just lights up

[@Unsequestered]

You can access the actual glide controls through the "voice" menu. They aren't used on a lot of the factory patches so you won't hear a difference if those parameters aren't tweaked. Glide let's two different notes shift in pitch slowly (or quickly) between them, almost like sliding up to the two different notes with the ribbon.

nothing insane about that music..I would love to spin that on vinyl, include that in a mix project...I touched the Hydrasynth here in NYC, and immediately, it was like someone made it for me..

[@Unsequestered]

It's such a great instrument. You are more than welcome to sample anything from the video.

[@slushedpuppy8044]

Great. Now play the old Doctor Who theme song.

[@Unsequestered]

Hahah, yes!
