ASM Hydrasynth Keyboard

With 8-voice polyphony, "mutator" wave shaping and a 32-slot modulation matrix, the ASM Hydrasynth is a next-generation virtual analog synthesizer for modern music producers. Each voice has three WaveScan oscillators with 219 different waveforms, with four mutators providing extensive wave shaping.

By using an advanced wavetable synthesis, 3 oscillators, dual wave mutators and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the sound possibilities with this synthesizer are virtually limitless.

In terms of performance, the HYDRASYNTH keyboard has its own Polytouch™ keyboard that offers polyphonic aftertouch over every note, providing the kind of expressive control found only on certain vintage synths.
