Glen Darcey and the team put so much thought into this synth. It always answers "yes' to the question "Wait...can I do this?" This was clearly made by knowledgeable people who love what they do, and it shows.

[@1980VINZ]

I'm thinking the same... a dream team, Daniel Fisher too... I would LOVE to have a long documentary video about the whole story of ASM, I'm fascinated by what this company succeeded to do, I would like to learn about the very beginning, all the Asian team (HK, Taiwan...), how they met the American synth masters etc. Can you imagine, this is their FIRST PRODUCT.................... Directly a masterpiece......... This is genius.... I am as fascinated by the company as by their product. To me ASM deserves a big good documentary. Fingers crossed !! Big salut from France 🇫🇷 Hope my English wasn't too terrible, still learning a lot... Vinz.🙋‍♂️

[@donaldpriola1807]

@@1980VINZ Your English was great!!! I suggest getting into people like Mark Doty (Automatic Gainsay) who are experts in synth history.

[@K.KILLORAN]

@@1980VINZ better than mine and I’m a native speaker. Lol

I'm late to this but this entire series has been so well done and incredibly helpful to me as a new Explorer owner. Thanks for doing these!

[@danielpirone8028]

Definitely a modern classic.

[@brianreilly6545]

Thanks for all these hydra tutorials. Learning from others, though musical styles may be different, its the techniques that get past along sparking new and creatives methods for another. Hydrasynth should receive every reward out there, its DYNAMITE!!!!

[@llRoBoBinHoll]

You really show what you can do with each synth with a good ear, creativity and expertise. This particular synth has a lot of possibilities and it’s really upon the user to make the most of it. I’m not entirely sure if I’m on the level where I won’t get lost in the sauce. The minifreak appeals to me in some way, because it limits you to specific, but awesome sounding subsections of synthesis. But the free form experimentation on the Hydrasynth also looks like crazy fun. Anyway, thanks for the videos!

[@waveforthefrequencies]

I got rid of the modwave to get this because of these videos! Nice work.

[@ceetronic]

Hi Jeremy, I've watched pretty much all your vids on the Hydrasynth and they are so top notch. This one in particular has inspired me a great deal and filled in many gaps in my knowledge. Would love to see more videos like this! You knocked it out of the park. Thank you.

[@1980VINZ]

What a idiot I was... I was struggling with the envelope 1 A LOT because no effect on my sound........ I'm stupid. It's written on the synth... You helped me to get that, thanks a lot!! I try to learn my synth after work but my brain is so fucked after my day of work... ....... Time is so priceless....... At 41yo I have this terrible feeling that I'm not able anymore to have enough time or energy to enjoy what I love...

[@willswitchcraft]

The last part of this, is perhaps the most informative and explorative review I've seen on the Hydra thus far....

[@romajimamulo]

As someone hoping to get a career in designing synths (mostly software), this just shows me how high the bar is

[@brianreilly6545]

Great tutorial, incredible sounds, fantastic synth. Thanks!!

[@RudoRudeboi]

This whole series is brilliant! Thanks very much for these!!!

[@tonywharton5220]

I have really enjoyed all of these videos. Thank you 😊

[@fugamantew]

I got a used knob-broken Explorer this past month-past week received my Hydrasynth 49-keybed, I’m hooked

[@kenb7540]

These tutorials are just brilliant. Thanks so much.

[@brianreilly6545]

All those sounds pressing one note. Bravo👏🏼

[@macronencer]

16:50 This is just a deliciously absurd sound. Wow.

[@just_pierre9730]

Thank you!

So nice!!!

Killin it

[@MrMoyanovsky]

It is a beast!!

[@MaynardAndEuniceShow]

Very cool and helpful. Even though I like the treble sounds on the music spectrum, it seems that most demos of the Hydrasynth are holding keys down near middle C. I SO WANT TO hear the bass side of this synth. This will be resolved this week, as I'm finally getting mine! Your tutes are very informative and I'll be hanging out in these parts for a while!

[@9877joseph]

Okay i know youve heard of the 3rd party patch generator called HYDRAMORPH... If you havent, look it up bro! Thank you for your excitement and knowledge!

[@MisterMajister]

I promised myself not to buy another piece of gear this year. 190 days to go...

[@ColossusBall]

Did you make it?

[@christianwheeler8386]

I haven’t slept in months not knowing! Please tell me. Did you make it? Oh god I need rest.

[@K.KILLORAN]

And a year later please list all of the gear you bought since then…lol. We know you did.

[@JohnLozo]

6:24 oh damn oh damn oh damn

[@tooomasz]

Hey! Wanted to ask if you can let the LFOs work in poly mode on the Hydra? I mean, to let every voice has its own free flowing LFO instead of all the voices having their LFOs in sync with each other. I found this to be a great way to add texture to pads when applied gently to the filter :))

[@RedMeansRecording]

I'm not sure, sorry. Check the manual?

[@laurentmialon2594]

I'd dream of the possibility to chose the curve of every step in the custom LFO, as is possible in NI's Massive / Kodiak

[@auntjenifer7774]

I'm pretty sure that's what the hydrasynth does.

[@laurentmialon2594]

@@auntjenifer7774 nope.

[@8bitfactory236]

im just now getting into the hydrasynth. ive been messing with the envelopes and getting tips from your videos, but theres a problem. in my envelopes there is no legato option. is this a bug?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Legato isn't an envelope setting afaik?

[@Abravenewfear]

How do you get portamento on this synth. I’m use to having a knob for that!

[@RedMeansRecording]

Check the voice settings

[@Abravenewfear]

@@RedMeansRecording ok…thanks

[@VirgilGuitar]

It would be awesome if you made tutorials on this stuff!

[@jameshumfry1256]

Tasty as fuck 👌

[@fincorrigan7139]

Stop It, Stop, I mean freakin' STOP IT. NOW!!! Before I have to buy this wonderful monster. You and Glen D'Arcy have been conspiring with Beelzebub...come on, admit it, confess to the Inquisition......

[@fincorrigan7139]

I bought it.........
