Synthesizer ASM Hydrasynth Desktop

Synthesizer ASM Hydrasynth Desktop combines a powerful sound engine with a convenient format, opening up endless scope for experimentation. Here you can create both classic and completely new timbres, making each patch lively and dynamic.

The heart of the synthesizer is three oscillators with access to 219 single-cycle waves. The WaveMorphing function allows you to smoothly change waves, creating complex transitions and lively textures. The WAVELIST mode adds even more flexibility, allowing you to combine up to eight waves in any sequence. This makes the Hydrasynth Desktop a unique instrument in its class. 24 touch-sensitive and aftertouch-sensitive pads allow you to play melodies, chords and rhythms without additional controllers.
