ASM Hydrasynth Keyboard

The HYDRASYNTH keyboard is a sound designer's dream and live performers ideal synthesizer. The sound engine is designed for maximum flexibility. At the same time, ASM has designed the user interface to provide quick patch editing with minimal page switching, including a loads of workflow shortcuts.

Using an advanced wavetable snyth engine, three oscillators, a dual wave mutator, and two filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the tone generation capabilities are unrivalled.

The HYDRASYNTH keyboard features their exclusive Polytouch™ keyboard that provides polyphonic aftertouch on every note, giving you expressive control found only in certain vintage synthesisers.

Add to this a 4-octave ribbon controller and ergonomically designed pitch and mod wheels and you have expression and control that is not equalled in any other hardware synthesizer on the market… Today or ever.
