Colourful Sounds of Hydrasynth Part 1

In this video I play a range of original sounds created on the Hydrasynth to demonstrate how wide, deep and expressive this instrument is. I also give tips on programming and using the key features of Hydrasynth. All sounds are my own, except for a few chosen from factory and commercially available banks (these are linked below). There will be three parts to this video series. Although I’m playing a Hydrasynth Deluxe (which has two sound engines), all sounds in this video use only a single Hydrasynth engine. The original Hydrasynth, Hydrasynth Explorer and Hydrasynth Desktop are all capable of creating these sounds. *UPDATE* All the original sounds in this video are now available to purchase in two Hydrasynth sound banks totalling 128 patches. See the following link for video demo 1 and the link to purchase:    • ASM Hydrasynth | Synth Universe | Sound Ba...   In these videos I've tried to include a wide selection of sound types including pads, ambient, polysynths, epianos, FM, bass and FX. Although Hydrasynth is completely digital, it's surprisingly capable of emulating analog sounds, as well as creating sonic textures that sound nothing like any other synth.

If you own or are thinking of owning a Hydrasynth, I strongly recommend using an expression pedal (I use a Moog EP-3). You can send any modulation from the mod matrix to it and if you play two-handed it allows you to keep sounds evolving without needing to use a hand for the mod wheel or other controls. There was no sponsorship or affiliation to ASM or their products in the creation of this video. All musical ideas in this video are my own and are copyright to me.
