Dr Mike Metlay Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Thanks for the link, Marzzz. I can't wait to get back to doing more with my Hydra! (It's turned off and unplugged now; I am not letting myself turn it on until my Korg wavestate video series is finished. Ditto my MatrixBrute and MicroFreak.)

Marzzz Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm awful! I have had it for months now, and am still having fun just tweaking the presets! Now I am going to have to Patreon Nick Batt to get those marvelous FM patches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I just got mine this week. Haven't played one since we were all hanging out at NAMM 2020. Although I find it exhilarating, it is at the same time exhausting mentally, as it's features are overwhelming to me. Hopefully this will diminish over time.

Once you get used to how it guides you, you pretty much fly around.

Dr Mike Metlay Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 New ones just released, for those of you who were complaining that the 4-octave model (which I have and love) and the desktop model (which I am thinking about getting, as a portable MPE companion for my Linnstrument) were neither fish nor fowl: https://www.gearnews.com/superbooth-2021-asm-announces-hydrasynth-explorer-and-deluxe-models/ The pricing is astounding, especially if they're even close to as well built as the first two. And check out the cool little shelf on the Deluxe!

sunspot Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Man I was really hoping the Explorer would be available in the USA by Christmas. Just watched the Explorer Sweetwater demo by Daniel Fisher. I'm not a big mini-keys fan (I have an Arturia Keystep) but it just doesn't make sense for me personally to buy a polyphonic desktop module that doesn't have an actual keyboard on it instead of grid pads. Seems like the Explorer hits the mark for playability and portability. Quote The Players: OB-X8, Numa Compact 2X, Kawai K5000S, cheap Korean guitars/basses, Roland TD-1KV e-drums. Eurorack/Banana modular, Synth/FX DIY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coda Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thomann - ASM Thomann announces availability of "Explorer" in about 1 week while "Deluxe" will need 8 -10 weeks to arrive from now on. A.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
