ASM Hydrasynth Keyboard
CurrentReleased 2020
Eight-voice wavetable synthesiser with 49 full-size Polytouch keys, polyphonic aftertouch and a four-octave ribbon. The Mutants warp each oscillator with FM, sync and pulse-width tricks, and the menu layout makes a deep engine quick to programme. A strong choice for sound designers who also want to play expressively.
