The Hydrafilter can be a punch to your ears | ASM Hydrasynth - Be careful with Headphones

[@saladdays180s9]

As soon as there is a warning to protect my ears I threw my headphones on to take in what you are experiencing. I have a Knifonium which often goes into that territory when pressed. The harmonic density of this is very nice. Massages the ears. Was thinking about using a Hydrasynth as a controller for my Schmidt to take advantage of the poly AT which the Schmidt and render.

I tell a warning and you use directly a headphone 🤣👍 Knifonium as VST? Uuh the Hydrasynth as a Controller… interesting idea. Schmidt is a Synthesizer?

[@saladdays180s9]

@@seancoolmusic No, a real Knifonium. I think it is the best synthesizer ever made. The VST is ok, but really can't generate the harmonic density of the tube based Knifonium architecture. Yes. The Schmidt analog 8 voice. Is a very special synth as well.

@@seancoolmusic What interested me about your warning was the unusual resonance I experienced with the Knifonium. More than once it made sounds that were not audible, but made the tip not my nose and earlobes flutter wildly. I felt inside m y brain that if I continued it would it. Other times the resonance felt like a "massage" to my ears. Hearing the Hydrasynth warnings madevme wonder if it could emulate similar frequencies.

​@@saladdays180s9 Wow, I think you have really rare synthesizers. I searched for it in the inet and was surprised because I have never heard of Schmidt. But you also can't test these synths here in music stores 😅. The VST of Knifonium is great so i cant compare. But what i see is also for me there is always a difference between digital plugins and real synthesizer. More or less but my Wavestation as a real gear sounds to my ears more saturated. The Hydra has some potential with the 2 filter settings. I'll go into that a little more in the next video. They have a "warm mode" built in to create a bit of a tube sound. Certainly there is a difference between digital and analog filters and I think your devices are a completely different sphere and you can do sounds that I can't do.

@@seancoolmusic I certainly enjoy digital synths as well and love the fact that each synth has a personality. I started collecting them about 10 years ago as I built a personal music studio and filled it with my dream synths. Ill look for your next video.
