Oscillators 1 and 2 are routed to the MUTATORS, which allow you to modulate, bend, and sculpt the sound in new or familiar ways.\u003cbr\u003eEach mutator allows you to choose from the following processes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFM-Linear: To produce classic FM sounds. You can choose from various FM sources, including external inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWavestack™: To create 5 copies of the incoming sound with adjustable detune amount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Sync: To create typical hard sync sounds. Try syncing a morphing wavetable and start having fun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulse Width: Allows you to modulate the pulse width of ANY incoming sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePW-Squeeze: A differently shaped pulse that can create softer sounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePW-ASM: This mode divides the incoming wave into 8 sections and allows you to set the amount of pulse width modulation for each portion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmonic Sweep: Sweeps the harmonics of the incoming sound from the oscillator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn FM and Sync modes, the mutators can also generate waveforms, effectively giving you an extra oscillator. Naturally, routing is flexible, so if desired, you can use the other oscillators as modulation sources.\u003cbr\u003eSignals from the 3 oscillators are routed to a Mixer along with a Noise Generator and a Ring Modulator.\u003cbr\u003eThe Mixer allows you to adjust the level and pan of each input source. Additionally, you can separately adjust the amount of signal from each source to be sent to the two filters. For maximum flexibility, the filters can be used in both series and parallel.\u003cbr\u003eThe ASM HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER has two filters that can be configured in series or parallel. The first filter features 11 different models, offering more options to customize the sound, while the second is inspired by the classic SEM filter, with a 12 dB per octave slope and continuous sweep between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass.\u003cbr\u003eThe ASM HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER is equipped with 5 low-frequency oscillators, each featuring a Step mode that allows you to create 8-step patterns. The availability of 5 mini step sequences adds extraordinary possibilities for further shaping the sound. There are also 10 standard waveforms. All LFOs feature delay, fade-in, 3 trigger modes, smoothing, start phase, and one-shot mode, which can act as envelopes or sync to BPM.\u003cbr\u003eThe 5 DAHDSR 6-stage envelopes feature delay, attack, hold, decay, sustain, and release. The time setting can be adjusted in seconds or beats, allowing the envelopes to operate in sync with the song. It's also possible to loop the envelopes to create LFOs whose shape can be voltage-controlled in the modulation matrix.\u003cbr\u003eWith 32 user-definable modulation routings, the 29 modulation sources and 155 destinations can be combined in countless ways. Almost everything in the synth engine can be a modulation destination, including effects and the arpeggiator. The modulation matrix points themselves can also become modulation destinations. Modulation sources and destinations include Mod CV input and output jacks and MIDI CCs.\u003cbr\u003eThe arpeggiator allows for standard note arpeggios but also features an arpeggio phrase. Parameters like RATCHET and CHANCE will generate other rhythmic patterns with a degree of randomness to add vitality and spontaneity to performances. You can also modulate most parameters in the arpeggiator using LFOs, envelopes, polyphonic aftertouch, or the ribbon controller to change arpeggios in real-time.\u003cbr\u003eThe ASM HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER features standard MIDI and USB\/MIDI connectivity, and for advanced use, there are also CV\/GATE outputs that allow connection to the modular world. They support standard voltages for Eurorack modules and some Japanese Volt\u0026gt;HZ products. MOD inputs and outputs allow modulation from DC to the full audio range, further expanding modulation capabilities.\u003cbr\u003eThe main system controls allow you to navigate patches, configure system settings, and display parameters such as envelopes, waveforms, and filters on the OLED screen. The Init and Random buttons allow you to initialize or randomize a complete patch or specific modules, simply by holding down the appropriate button plus the desired module selection button. Pressing the Home button returns to patch browsing easily and immediately.\u003cbr\u003eIn the Master Control section, all parameter changes, patch naming, and macro execution are performed. Using OLED displays, high-resolution encoders with LED indicators, and 8 buttons, this section is designed to provide good feedback on what is happening. Voice parameters give access to play modes, analog feel, voice panning, and many other features.\u003cbr\u003eThe Macros associated with the patches are designed to give the user in-depth control over the sound engine in live performances. The 4 assignable encoders and buttons can be routed to 8 destinations each. Complete audio transformations can occur with the press of a button or the turn of a knob.\u003cbr\u003eThe ASM HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER is equipped with 5 banks of 128 patches, totaling 640. The 256 factory patches were created by some of the best sound designers around.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, the effect chain is different from other synths, and the Pre and Post effects offer some unique ways to process sound. The delays and reverbs have been modeled after some of the most popular effects on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37 velocity and aftertouch sensitive mini keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyphonic aftertouch featuring ASM's proprietary Polytouch™ technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch bend and Modulation wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-voice wavetable synthesis, expandable by connecting a second Hydrasynth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 oscillators with 219 selectable single-cycle waveforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to create custom waveforms by combining up to 8 waveforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMUTATORS type modulators, capable of creating FM-Linear, Wavestack™, Hard Sync, Pulse Width, PW – Squeeze, PW-ASM, Harmonic Sweep sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise generator and Ring Modulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal mixer with pan capability for each input source (oscillators)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 multi-mode filters, one inspired by the classic SEM filter, each with 11 selectable models and source mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to use filters in series or parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 LFOs each with:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 selectable waveforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTEP mode capable of creating 8-step patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelay function, fade in, 3 trigger modes, smoothing, start phase, one-shot mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBPM synchronization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 6-stage DAHDSR envelopes (Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29 sources and 155 modulation destinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModulation matrix with 32 user-definable routings:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModulation destinations include practically all synth parameters including effects and arpeggiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe matrix crossover points themselves can in turn become modulation destinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSources and destinations also include CV Mod In \u0026amp; Out and MIDI CC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArpeggiator with RATCHET and CHANCE functions capable of generating rhythmic patterns with adjustable randomness for greater spontaneity during performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive effects section:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-effects (placed before delay and reverb): Chorus, Flanger, Rotary, Phaser, Lo-Fi, Tremolo, EQ, Compressor (with side chain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelay: Tape, Ping-pong, Analog, PitchShift, Reverse, Filter delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverbs: Room, Hall, Shimmer, Cloud, DarkSpace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-effects (placed after delay and reverb): Chorus, Flanger, Rotary, Phaser, Lo-Fi, Tremolo, EQ, Compressor (with side chain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch MACROS 4 assignable buttons and 4 knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 5 banks of 128 patches each. 256 factory patches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 6.3 mm Main audio outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI In\/Out connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB port for use as a USB\/MIDI interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV\/GATE outputs compatible with standard Eurorack voltage and Japanese Volts\u0026gt;Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 OLED displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustain pedal input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply with external 110-230V to 12V adapter included with all models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply with 8 AA batteries (not included) Explorer model only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53994151608653,"sku":"18005","price":616.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/141171-large_default.jpg?v=1779952008","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/asm-hydrasynth-explorer-sintetizzatore-con-polytouch-keybed","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
