ASM Hydrasynth Explorer – 8-voice Synth Demo — Daniel Fisher

Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater's portable synth fanatic, shows how the Hydrasynth Explorer gives you full access to the renowned 8-voice sound engine of the original Hydrasynth in a compact, scaled-down package. Featuring 37 PolyTouch-enabled slim synth keys and battery-powered capability, the Hydrasynth Explorer is a grab-and-go sound lab for intrepid synthesists. Like the 49-key and desktop Hydrasynth models, the Hydrasynth Explorer boasts 8-voice polyphony; each voice serves up three WaveScan oscillators offering 219 different waveforms, with four Mutators total for extensive waveshaping. There‘s a ton of potential for creating nuanced, nonlinear sounds. The five ADSR envelope generators offer delay and hold and can have either linear or exponential curves between stages, and the five LFOs offer a total of 11 waveshapes plus delay, fade in, and smoothing. Throw in a highly responsive pitch-bend strip and a mod strip with LED depth indicators, and you‘ve got a compact performance synthesizer with endless sound design capabilities!

THIS is the demo I needed to hear...thank you!
Fantastic sound design coupled with your tasteful playing just cost me $600.00, mister!
Man, I'm gonna have a blast with this synth!
Cheers!

This dude just improvised the best movie score I’ve ever heard. Holy god

That was powerful, the sheer variety of sonic textures emerging from the Hydrasynth reminds me of that moment I bought my first XTK wavetable synth and full of anticipation and excitement I rushed home and lost myself in it for days programming new and genuinely original sounds. Leap forward several years, and technology manifest in the form of the Hydrasynth has made this level of power in synthesis accessible at reasonable prices. ASM are to be congratulated for having the vision to bring this synthesizer into the world with its highly accessible user interface and enormous scope for programming truly diverse and original sounds.

Wow what a full on show, I truly enjoyed the music ! Synth in proper hands is something else man ! Much respect !

[jessewarren]

The fact that you could get this synth, plus a Poly D (or Minilogue XD), plus a TR-8s all for just about $2000 is absolutely mindblowing.
You could conquer the world of synthesis with just the three of those

Absolutely mesmerizing sounds! Best Synth presenter in YouTube period. ❤❤❤
Just got my Novation Mini 37 MK4 from Sweetwater 👍 now need to save for my explorer ❤

To poszerza mój umysł. Mam te sprzęt, ale nie wiedziałem co potrafi do teraz. Dzięki

[hughkremer]

Dan knows what he’s doing. This isn’t some unboxing or first impressions. So impressed.

[futur_sunds]

This is one of the best synths for its price. Extremely underrated!

[F_letc.h]

What a sonic journey. Incredible work here. Definitely thinking he sold a few of these.

[thefool]

I am just as amazed at how great this demo is the second time I listened to it. ASM really made an incredible synthesizer platform.

[weave_of_k]

I’ll also say Daniel does the best synth demos. You get a better idea what a synth is capable of by the end of the video. It is not the case for most demos. Give this man a raise.

[vertigev]

This thing is mind blowing value... And I love having onboard effects on my synths!

[thefool]

Excellent demo. It’s amazing how feature packed ASM makes their products. I love my Hydra 49. This little machine is no slouch. It’s like ASM finally gave us the features we wanted. Super company. Roland should have done this.

[barnabascee]

You make the best demonstration videos on YouTube. Thank you!

[TechMX]

Daniel Muthphuckin' Fisher killing it once again!!

[aaronvanwright]

I was undecided all the way to 53:37 when I started catching some Drab Majesty "Hath no form" vibes. Now I'm in.

[jonathandoda]

Came into this expecting regular promo video. I was deceived.

31 minutes in, watching it in VR. Words cannot describe how thoroughly unprepared I was for this absolute fuckery. This man IS the synth.

[nsjx]

What a marathon, Daniel ha ha. Very nice. Yes, now I'll be adding this thing to my DT version. Can't wait for them to meet ea. other 👍👏
