Key Features
The ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe is the newest member of the Hydrasynth family. With a dual-sound engine providing an expanded 16 voices, and 73-note PolyTouch keybed, the Hydrasynth Deluxe provides even more powerful and expansive synthesis options. The Hydrasynth Deluxe's new dual-engine architecture allows for not only 16 voices of polyphony, for rich, textured sounds, but also bi-timbrality, meaning that you can split the keybed - at a position of your choosing - into two separate patches at once. This makes the Hydrasynth Deluxe every sound designer's dream machine.
The Hydrasynth Deluxe has the same morphing wavetable oscillators and Mutators found on the original Hydrasynth, with all of the complex modulation capabilities and routings you'd expect - and plenty you wouldn't. Five LFOs, five DAHDSR envelopes, 155 modulation destinations - including effects parameters, and custom wavetable generation make the core of this powerhouse. But now, with MULTI mode, CV, Gate and MIDI data can be split between the two sound engines, one for the upper patch, and one for the lower patch. Not only that, MULTI mode also allows for two separate patch macro banks, and two separate effects chains for each patch. DUAL mode provides full double-patch layering across the entire keyboard too, for thick, rich sounds that can fill the entire 73-key keyboard. With its deep modulation options and extreme expressivity, the ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe is the ultimate sound design machine.

The Hydrasynth Deluxe's dual-engine mode opens a lot of different opportunities. Not just does it provide an extremely welcome 16 voices of polyphony for richer sounds, but it also gives the option to enter MULTI mode. With this, you can load or create two completely distinct patches. This is fantastic for live performances, allowing you to prepare and perform your songs more easily. It also provides extremely advanced modulation and sound design options - two distinct effects chains for each patch, and completely separate customisable patch macros, and separate two-filter chains for each sound engine mean that you can create distinct and evolving sounds that grow in unique ways.
Carefully crafted, ergonomic pitch-bend and mod wheels, a four-octave ribbon controller, and an expanded 73-key version of ASM's premium PolyTouch keybed make the Hydrasynth Deluxe a powerhouse of expressivity, allowing you to put every part of yourself into your music. An unprecedented level of control over your synthesis means that just about anything is possible.
With three oscillators per voice that can morph between 219 single-cycle waveforms to build wavetables with the expanded polyphony allows you to make extremely rich singular patches by itself. However, the Hydrasynth Deluxe has plenty more to offer than that. Eight different mutators make for extremely complex and variable tones, five LFOs with step modes, and five DAHDSR envelopes per sound engine, and 155 modulation destinations, immediate and deep sound design is placed directly in your hands. Now, with the Hydrasynth Deluxe, this set of modulators and destinations is effectively doubled.
ASM have also provided a suite of high-quality effects, modelled after some of the most popular effects on the modern market. Nine switchable pre and post-effects, as well as six delays and four reverbs provide plenty of ways to process your sound. The effects also contain modulation destinations themselves, providing extremely flexible capabilities.
Now with eight banks of 128 SINGLE mode patches and five banks of 128 MULTI patches that are stored separately, the Hydrasynth Deluxe contains plenty of space for your sounds and a huge number of presets built by the designers themselves.
With two external CV and Gate inputs and outputs, standard 5-pin MIDI in, out and through, and the ability to set different sections of the keybed to different MIDI channels for extremely flexible routing.
