ASM HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER

This is a very high-end synth for a relatively low/decent price. - Mostly, this synth feels quite intuitive, but I am aware that there’s a lot of technical things that it can do that I haven’t touched on yet. I am still just learning with this synth, so my initial impression is that it’s a great piece of equipment. Might return at a later date to provide an update.

Not for me

I bought this because I was looking for a nasty aggressive sounding synth. You can get those sounds with this but it won’t be in tune an octave up the key bed. I found out I really dislike mini keys! I also found that I really need to be able to save the sounds I create. So I ended up selling this
