NAMM 22: Hydrasynth Deluxe - Sounds Only

Another big synth - while not new, the Hydrasynth Deluxe does pack plenty of power with essentially two Hydrasynths on board for twice the polyphony or a split or layer with a full Hydrasynth engine for each layer.

ASM kindly prepped a bank of sounds in Performance mode  for Jim to peruse.

I bought the original 49-key Hydrasynth as soon as it was announced, and did the same thing when the Deluxe came out. I LOVE the Hydrasynth Deluxe, I use it on virtually everything I do. It's an absolute dream to do sound design on, sounds fantastic, and can do just about everything you ever want in a synth.

The Ultimate soundscape Synth. I afraid I would be locked away in my music room for countless hours, never to see the outside world again!

[PhotonSCX]

Great stuff Jim, sounds good here! Now, the Hydrasynth is not analog, but from this video I realized the split does a lot, and I should stack two of my analogs so I can use them together with both hands. Cheers! :)

One of the few synths that has got me excited since I sold my Jupiter 8 many years ago. I think there's a very good chance this may become my new baby! 😎

[positronalpha]

Mine has been living in its box since it was shipped in February. Looking forward to unpacking as soon as my studio space is completed :).

[Dziricani]

Damn, Jim!
That very first patch is absolutely epic. Finish that piece, will ya? add some big percussive splashes (like timpanis), a few notes of an ethic-sounding flute with a long reverb and vibrato, maybe some ambient drums drone and call yourself Vangelis! Very good playing and demo-ing👍
RIP Vangelis.

Have the Hydrasynth desktop and now wanting a Deluxe. This synth is just beautiful beyond anything I've had before; Korg Triton studio, and a Kronos in the past. However, neither of the korgs ever made me feel the way the Hydrasynth does.

The hydrasynth are absolutely beautiful and I'm grateful to have found this wonderful unit.

Now to find a way to fund the synth addiction heheh

[buckycore]

Its like UVI Falcon 3 encapsulated in beautiful hardware 😍😍😍

[OperculumAudio]

Didn't get a chance to play on this one. I like the epic synth strings in the beginning. Sounds like something that would play great on a Sci-Fi movie like Prometheus or Avatar. I like the Arp Sequence at 6:55 with the split layer on top. Very nice sound combo. Well played

[Individual_two]

Very nice demo by Jim! These are fantastic synths.

[randers]

Got mine a couple of weeks back. It’s a beautiful bit of kit and substantially different to many other offerings out there.

[ToyKeeper]

If I ever have the space and the cash, I definitely want one of these. Until then though, I'm pretty happy with what I already have. <3

[thevi_olin]

Why do I want this synth too? Seriously, what a machine! Great sounds!

[ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

The Hydrasynth sounds so analog for being a digital synth. I mean...fff.😳 Every patch sounds impressive to me. I wish I felt the same for the Kyra, for which I waited long, agonizing years and was totally disappointed by its sound

[MusicWizard]

Korg Wavestate + Hydrasynth Deluxe + MPC Live 2/X/One = awesome sauce trio for DAW-free arsenal of sound design and song creation. Any other gear in addition to those would be a bonus. Just saying 😉

[ronaldwild]

Very nice, I have the Deluxe. Would be interesting to know which patches, or how these patches are called.

[mrbaiser]

@Arturia... Imagine a hardware version of Pigments, with a similar concept, including the keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch

[SyntheticFuture]

Love this thing. Such a cool synth. And you get a spot to place some FX pedals or a laptop or something 😄

[sleepyelk]

Is there a list of the presets (?) you played? Fantastic cool demo :) ... and can some name the sounds played? or are these completely improvised?

[DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Ok...this awesome demo just pushed me toward wanting this awesome Synthesizer. Are these patches actually on the board as factory patches now? Great job. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
