Huge Modulation Potential!

ASM Hydrasynth Explorer 888

32-slot modulation matrixFeaturing a 32-slot modulation matrix, ASM’s Hydrasynth Explorer gives you the power to curate amazingly detailed and expressive sounds. Both novice and experienced musicians are sure to be blown away with the envelope generators (5 per voice), each of which offer delay and hold alongside ADSR stages. Each individual stage is able to sweep through exponential and logarithmic curves, offering vast creative potential for huge modulations.

Like the majority of function within the Hydrasynth Explorer, envelopes are able to be locked to bpm to allow for tempo-synched modulations. Alongside the loop function, it’s possible to use the envelopes as LFOs for cool waveshapes! As a side note, Hydrasynth Explorer offers up to 5 LFOs for each voice with a total of 11 waveshapes.

Real-Time Control!

ASM Hydrasynth Explorer 888

eight macro controlsOne of the coolest things about software synths is the potential to take control over numerous parameters simultaneously via macro controls. Hydrasynth Explorer hands you this incredible control and power through hardware form. Customise up to 8 macro controls to tweak up to 8 destinations simultaneously. With a huge 170 modulation destinations to get stuck into, it’s a breeze to use these powerful macro controls to warp across sound variations!
