double the power!ASM’s impressive Hydrasynth Deluxe is the proud new flagship of Hydrasynth range. Offering a sublime dual-engine setup with a total of 16 voices plus an all-new 73-note keybed featuring ASM's much sought after PolyTouch® polyphonic aftertouch functionality, this is clearly in a class of its own. With what is essentially two Hydrasynths in one instrument, KeySplit and Dual voice mode patches with 8 independent voices each are possible.
You also have separate balanced stereo audio outputs for each of the two parts. The easily accessible 4 octave ribbon controller adds for truly expressive playing. The Hydrasynth Deluxe of course offers CV/GATE I/O for interfacing to modular and other voltage-controlled synths. There's a ton of potential for sound creation, using ASM's WaveScan oscillators together with the Mutator wave shaping section and user configurable filters.
A plethora of LFO's and Envelope's plus Insert and Master Effects makes this a dream sound creation tool and quite possibly the ultimate synthesizer and controller combo for your rig.

Explore 'PolyTouch'!
ribbon controllerNo matter if you’re performing or tracking in the studio, ASM’s Hydraysnth Deluxe hands over a rich and hugely expressive playing experience, even more so once you explore the PolyTouch capabilities! PolyTouch is a new means of polyphonic aftertouch sensing. Handing you full control over aftertouch curves, offsets and release times, delivering massive creative potential.
There’s an integrated ribbon controller to take your performance options even further! Control pitch bend or modulation amount, and there’s even a cool Theremin mode to enable you to play melodies on the ribbon controller against what you’re playing on the keyboard!
Huge Modulation Potential!
32-SLOT MODULATION MATRIXFeaturing a 32-slot modulation matrix, ASM’s Hydrasynth Deluxe 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 Deluxe, 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 Deluxe offers up to 5 LFOs for each voice with a total of 11 waveshapes.
Real-Time Control!
EIGHT MACRO CONTROLSOne of the coolest things about software synths is the potential to take control over numerous parameters simultaneously via macro controls. Hydrasynth Deluxe 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!
