ASM Hydrasynth Keyboard Silver Edition – 49-key polyphonic wavetable synthesizer with a powerful modulation matrix, polyphonic aftertouch, ribbon controller, and dual filters in serial or parallel configuration.
The ASM Hydrasynth Keyboard Silver Edition is a powerhouse for sound designers and performing musicians alike. Its 8-voice polyphonic engine is built on advanced wavetable synthesis with three oscillators, two unique Wave Mutants, and dual filters that can be routed in series or parallel. The intuitive layout, OLED displays, and shortcut-driven interface ensure fast and efficient patch creation.
The keybed features ASM’s proprietary Polytouch technology, offering full polyphonic aftertouch for deep expressive control. Above the keyboard, a 4-octave ribbon controller adds further performance potential with pitch, modulation, and theremin-like playability. With 5 DAHDSR envelopes, 5 complex LFOs, and 32-slot modulation matrix routing 35 sources to 191 destinations, Hydrasynth delivers near-limitless modulation capability.
Studio integration is seamless with MIDI I/O, USB-MIDI, and CV/Gate connectivity. Built-in effects—including chorus, flanger, distortion, compressor, and advanced reverbs and delays—add polish without external gear. Macros, randomization, and patch management tools round out the experience, making Hydrasynth both a creative sound lab and a live performance instrument.
