Hydrasynth Desktop

Product Information

And they did launch a Deluxe version, which by what I read, looks like didn't really address any of the major problems. I have not tried one in person but from the reviews and demos Hydrasynth definitely seems to have a lot to offer. If you were comparing a Novation K-Station with the V-Station plugin, that's a bit more fair, because the (supposedly) identical code should yield identical results.

Along with immediately shutting off Voice vibrato on every patch, like you (it's completely unusable even at 1. It's fast and logical: you select a module to work on and tweak the parameters with LED-ringed encoders. Yes, it has poly aftertouch and that's super fun, but I'm afraid to break the damn thing when I use it.Slight worry is that I have encoder registering movements when I'm not even touching it and from reading on web other people have suffered from same thing. I know manuals are great, but this synth is 'soooo' close to be fully useable without needing the manual, it's hard not to see wanting that as a goal. Finally, the Modulation Matrix offers 32 user-definable modulation routings are available for you to bridge 29 modulation sources and 155 modulation destinations. It is a digital eight-note polyphonic instrument with three analogue modelling oscillators, two of which can perform 'waveform scanning'.

Many classic analog synths could have extended the range of their parameters much further, but chose to 'curate' the ranges of the parameters to emphasize certain sweet spots, and this was crucial to the 'sound' of each one. Hydrasynth is a great end user product and built better than anything else I own in the high-end synth offerings.I am happy to have it on a couple of synths, but music is not all "filters" per se, and certainly not limited to the one or two kinds of filtration that please analog fundamentalists.
