Love that opening shot, got Tim Bake vibes from it. What a great synth too!!

[@Pighood]

You missed an L

[@digitaldiezel5870]

I'm hooked on this thing...ASM just made some WAVES, pun intended.

Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit Great Stream 👍🏾!

[@InkyDaCaT]

That touch strip is awesome😁🙌

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Looks like some olds Kool Yamaha influence in there

[@Fluxwithit]

Luke Kage I would say lil bit of Yamaha , Ensoniq, and more. :)

[@Marcus_Sylvester]

I will have to ask my doctor to chain me to prevent me from buying this synth now... 😎 Great review! Nice articulated introduction to this marvel! Thanks! Looking forward to watch your other videos and explore further your nice website! 👍 👍

[@shaunm1030]

Double scotch neat next to the keyboard? 😉 Love it!

[@Fluxwithit]

Balcones whisky ... the true synth drinkers brand ;)

[@steelcitysi]

Subscribed! Putting in good work Flux. Please ask your friends at ASM to make a modern ASR-10 sampler/sequencer with their poly-AT keybed. It's what the game's missing right now.

[@Fluxwithit]

steelcitysi been saying that for years myself.... with analog filtering

[@steelcitysi]

@@Fluxwithit word. Their digital filters already sound good though

[@Fluxwithit]

steelcitysi oh no doubt but it’s hard to deny the joy of analog filters on samples

[@bustincircuits7701]

Ken, I have been a flux head for a minute...I subbed years ago under my soundvapor account. Thanks for your in depth videos! You were shouted out by Glen Darcy, formerly a top brain at Arturia and I was very pleased to hear about the polished design team behind this synth, Glen being the head of ASM Product line. You are making a serious impact bro, (Threeler) filter 😳 suggestions considered in unit. ...big time!!!! Definitely the Hydra seems to be deep and endless....oh does the keyboard have all the features of the desktop? If not, which ones are excluded?

[@Fluxwithit]

thanks so much! the whole team has been wonderful! and they actually listen! the only things different between the two are the physical inputs meaning obviously the desktop lacks keys, and a ribbon, it also lacks a few of the dedicated arp knobs (you get to em through the macro knob area). the keyboard just doesn't have the pads (as they aren't needed considering you have keys).

[@bustincircuits7701]

@@Fluxwithit Thanks....I will assume the scaling mode chromatic, Dorian etc. I saw on the desktop exists in some format on the keyboard? Thinking about zoning and splits.

[@Fluxwithit]

Bustin Circuits all the scales are available in the keyboard as well. Not splits or zones. The scale goes across the whole keybed

[@bustincircuits7701]

@@Fluxwithit thanks again for your time and replies...really helpful... I'm on board😆🎹 nerd joy all day!!!

[@vaspers]

Trying to decide between Hydrasynth and Modal Argon8. Love the ribbon controller and mutants.

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

Buy 2 and return one, all the major music stores allow trials.

[@vampolascott36]

The Argon 8 is great but the Hydrasynth is much deeper. You can do a lot more with it.

[@immersiveworlds]

Great!

[@thaexception3406]

Informative

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

Great demo. Why is it that this demo sounds rich and warm but other demos aound colder? Are you using wizardry

[@Fluxwithit]

derek jurovich my wife says no wizardry in the house.

[@zodiatube]

What's that video effect you used in the beginning of the video?

[@davidsteffens3952]

Hey, have been watching your videos, and have my hydrasynth preordered and paid for. See you do the beat ppl podcasts and stuff, and are a hip hop fan I believe, so can I ask you how you think the hydra is suited for hip Hop? I do a lot of trap, and melodic stuff. Use a lot of bells and poly leads type sounds. Have a TI I’ve been using, but am wondering how this would do? Any thoughts you could give would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

[@Fluxwithit]

David Steffens yes, for trap, the bass and the plucks will be really useful. As will the arp functions and the nice reverb.

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Did you Sweetwater, B Boy Tech and Bo Beats all go "3-2-1 post" for the Hydra Synth videos?

[@Fluxwithit]

Luke Kage yes the embargo just lifted... that’s how press works lol

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

@@Fluxwithit it's just amazing how everyone released at exactly the same time like it was on a synced timer. That's a great sequencer lol

[@InkyDaCaT]

I knew youd be here Luke😂...was gonna pm ya but your ahead lol.

[@HotStrange]

Hey dude. I see you everywhere lmao.

@@HotStrange Hahahaha

[@johnrichardson3297]

Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit what are comparative thoughts of competition... the Roland Jupiter Xm ?

[@Fluxwithit]

John Richardson I don’t see the two as competition at all... the Jupiter series appears to be the xv/integra engine once again put into a different synth format . Which while cool is not really doing synthesis on a deep level of 5 envelopes 5 lfos waveshaping etc all freely assignable. To me I see the Jupiter stuff as nice cpu friendly gig gear. Which is cool, just not competition...

[@johnrichardson3297]

My Korg R3 has a lot of these specs...

[@Fluxwithit]

John Richardson if you wanna play that game I could name a dozen or so wavetable synths... all sharing a lot of specs of each other. In no way making them equivalent to each other...

[@johnrichardson3297]

@20:00 minutes.. I stand corrected. But I find osc 2 on both timbers tend to fatten my PCM(WSDG) the rest is a workaround via Amp sections or other descending/ascending orders

[@bobcatt2294]

@@johnrichardson3297 I have 2 Radias and looking for an additional synth that is more portable.

[@synthplayer1563]

Nice presentation of this awesome synth (but please don't use these stupid arps).

[@Fluxwithit]

Synth Player the stupid arps will continue . Sorry.

[@paulluna8099]

What possessed you to use such an annoying ear piercing preset. Are you trying to convince people not to buy this synth?

[@Marcus_Sylvester]

Paul The whisky hadn't done it's FX yet. When it did the sounds were sublime. 😊
