Master the ASM Hydrasynth 2.0 Update: In-Depth Comprehensive Tutorial for Music Producers 🔥

[@agua9362]

man... this update is really nice - thanks a lot for explaining :)

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

No worries :)

[@lostcrow]

I just ordered one of these synths after having a epid fail with a Roland SH4d... not gonna lie, im really glad the Roland failed on me because this synth is a beast! I've been going through the manual while waiting for it to arrive and OMG the power of this synth is crazy! Thanks for this video. It may come in handy for me with a new device. One thing I will say to anyone looking to buy one of these... make sure you have a good shop around for a new one before being ripped off on ebay or reverb for a second hand one. A few second hand ones were listed for around £535.00 plus shipping. I got a brand new one with full g-tee for £560 at "Music Matter" so just be mindful

[@andycordy5190]

So far beyond brilliant, James. Some really startling new stuff. i can see why you were so stoked about the update and thanks for your help with understanding my browser failure on the ASM website.

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Absolutely no worries at all! Good to hear that your finally sorted ✅

[@deluxenz]

On Hydrasynth Explorer we get 8 Favorite pages.

[@JoshuaNeedham]

That Glissando is something else not going to lie!

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Aye!!

[@benjaminjohnstone5881]

Thorough and detailed as always ⚡️

Cheers mate 🍻

[@henrytheworst]

Your Hydra tutorials are so good - thank you

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoy the content!

v2.0 included some great updates for this amazing value synth - nice overview. Lightshow still plays at max brightness (even if you set pad dim), if you want to save your screen lifetime, you need to keep lightshow on, but when that delay is up and you are sitting in a dark room it can be quite an eye blasting.. My solution whilst we await a future update is to cover the pads with some taped down card, since I only use a keyboard to play notes. Alternative would be no light show but an option to just turn screens off after a few minutes. Fingers crossed for an update to that.

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Good shout on screen saver, I actually kinda like the light show when I leave and return to my studio or on stage it’s just doing it’s thing

[@agua9362]

what i wish for would be a possibilty to get to the previous preset - sometimes i hit the random like wild button and think: shit i missed a good one by random ;D

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Aye! Happens sometimes when I’m randomising parameters on other machines and skip by something cool!

[@Th3rdFloor]

Great video!! Watching from Glasgow,Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Have ya found Ken yet? Haha mate I love the scots, I was in the Navy for four years and I always gravitated towards the lads from Glasgow and Edinburgh, always an awesome laugh!

,,nice wee bit of banter there buddy,it’s all good. Just subscribed to your channel too! 👍👍👍

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

@@Th3rdFloor thanks for subbing, if you wanna see me cover another synth or mixing etc let me know 🙏

[@Th3rdFloor]

@@jamesorvis_mixhackers ,,,will do for sure!👍

[@MrPawillie]

Drums and percussion on next update. Peace

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Could do, I never use it for drums but can be done. I much prefer using Syntakt and Digitakt, but of octa too for drums

[@jesusrosalessalinas6721]

Thank you for this videos. I’m currently taking you mastery course part one, and I was wondering if the Hydrasynth specific knowledge taken on this course can it be applied to other synths such as substractive traditional synth?

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Hi! Yes of course :) The Hydrasynth shares similar concepts and routings to subtractive synths with some key differences such as analog oscillator basic shape options instead of wave table etc. I think once u learn the hydra you should be able to operate other synths. I find this with the full Arturia collection, and U-he synths after I learnt one or two synths I was Able to figure out most of the other synths too

[@artfaith5363]

Dude, it’s amazing video tutorial about Hydra. But honestly, I’ve barely understand. A single word you say😂

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

😂 Hull accent, it’s the best accent in the UK 👌 Not much I can do about it, but I do keep trying to improve! I need to respawn in to a wealthy middle class family that speaks the queens English 🤣

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

I wish there was an option to change the Tempo manually

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

You can change it manually if your hydra isn’t slaving to a midi clock

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@jamesorvis_mixhackers I guess I’ll have to look for that in the manual

[@mass-1128]

What would you like to see ASM add with a future firmware update?

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

I’m pretty happy to be honest! Although it’s been a while since I took hydra for a spin!

[@retroc6450]

Hi m8. We’re abouts you from, you sound like your from the North East somewhere, just like myself….👴🏻👍

Where you from?

I had two different computers one with Chrome browser and the other Edge and both rejected this download claiming a virus was present. Only Firefox would allow me to download it.

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

I’m on mac it didn’t detect anything, best to open a support ticket with ASM for clarity but I’m sure it’s fine

[@bflash77]

Mine said the download was suspect as well, but I'm trusting ASM is legit. Gonna update my deluxe.... soon Wish me luck⚡

ive got the same password like you, 6 dots

I have deleted my comments. Its obvious manufacturer loyalty is at work here.

[@bigkingsha]

good video....but you need to slow it down a bit.

[@jamesorvis_mixhackers]

Playback speed is your friend :) stick it on x75 or x50. I usually watch tutorials in 1.5x and speed em up, if that fails a little coffee bump ☕️ 💪 If I get any more comments on pacing I will rethink my delivery speed but so far it seems to be the correct pace for everyone
