Asm Hydrasynth Explorer 888
ASM Hydrasynth Explorer Orange: an exceptional limited edition
ASM presents a special and exclusive version of its famous minisynth: the Hydrasynth Explorer Orange, limited to only 888 units worldwide.
Designed in a compact and portable format, this synthesizer combines performance and practicality, with an option to power by 8 AA batteries for nomadic use. Despite its small size, the Hydrasynth Explorer integrates a powerful 8-voice sound architecture, borrowed from the Hydrasynth keyboard and desktop models.
The 37-key PolyTouch® keyboard offers a full polyphonic aftertouch, guaranteeing exceptional expressiveness worthy of larger versions.
A versatile and intuitive sound engine
This synthesizer impresses with its ultra-flexible sound engine, which includes:
WaveScan oscillators, allowing a detailed sound exploration;
Mutators for wave shaping;
A double section of highly modulatable filters;
A 32-slot modulation matrix for deep control;
Two insert effects and two master effects for professional sound finishing.
Modular connectivity and integration
With its CV/GATE outputs, the Hydrasynth Explorer can be easily integrated into a modular system. It also features full-size USB-MIDI and MIDI-DIN ports, eliminating the need for adapter cables often required on mini synths.
This limited edition combines portability, sonic performance and unique design, ideal for musicians looking for a portable synthesizer without compromising on quality.
