Polytouch™ 49 note polyphonic aftertouch keybed The HYDRASYNTH keyboard is both a sound designers dream synth as well as a performing musicians ideal. The sound engine is designed for maximum flexibility. At the same time, we designed the user interface in a way to allow you to edit the patch quickly with a minimal amount of paging and many workflow shortcuts. Sound Path Specifications 8 Voice Advanced Wavetable synthesis 2 Wavemorphing Oscillators 219 single cycle waveforms User wavetables - 8 user selectable ‘wavelist’ per osc to build user wavetables Every osc and patch can have its own user wavetable WaveScan parameter for modulating through wavetables. Keytracking – 0-200% +/- 3 octave tuning range 1 fixed Wave OSC 219 single cycle waveforms +/- 3 octave tuning range Keytracking – 0-200% Dual Mutators per oscillator FM – Linear FM Selectable Modulator source Built in Sine & Triangle, OSC1, OSC2, OSC3, Mutators A, B, C, D, Noise gen, Ring Mod, External Mod 1&2 input. WaveStack – Generates 5 detuned waves from input source. Detune amount. Pulse Width Mod – Adjust pulse width of ALL waveforms. PWSqueeze – Compresses the center section of the waveform. Differnnt type of PWM PW-ASM – 8 User adjustable wave squeeze/stretch points. Hard Sync – gives that classic sync sweep sound. Selectable Sync input source. Harmonic Sweep – will scan through the harmonics of the incoming sound. PhazDiff - creates a new sound by combining phase shifting and summing techniques. Dry/Wet mix to blend the original OSC source. Noise Generator White, Pink, Brown, Red, Blue, Violet, Grey noise sources Ring modulator Selectable input sources OSC1, OSC2, OSC3, Noise, All Mutator outputs, External Mod ½ in. Depth control Sound source mixer Mix the following sources - OSC1, OSC2, OSC3, Noise, and Ring Mod. Panning for each source Filter routing mix Solos for each source (solo status is saved in the patch) Two Filters Series or parallel routing Filter 1 12 & 24db modern ladder (compensated) 12 & 24db vintage ladder (uncompensated) Threeler HP, LP MS20 HP, LP Low Pass Gate STN LP, BP, HP 1 pole LP 8 pole LP Vocal filter Multiple vowel order parameter Formant parameter Filter 2 Continuously Variable Low pass > Band pass > High pass Continuously Variable Low pass > Notch > High pass (Oberheim SEM style) ​ Utilizing an advanced wavetable synthesis engine, 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutators and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the tone generating capabilities are unmatched. As for the performance capabilities, The HYDRASYNTH keyboard has our proprietary Polytouch™ keybed that offers polyphonic aftertouch over each note, giving you the type of expressive control found only in certain vintage synths. ​ Add to this a 4 octave ribbon controller and ergonomically designed pitch and mod wheels and you have expression and control that is not equaled in any other hardware synthesizer on the market… Today or ever. Modulation Specifications 5x Low Frequency Oscillators 10 static waves Sine, triangle, Square, Saw up, Saw down, S&H, Low random, Noise, Pulse width 25%, Pulse Width 12.5%. Step Wave – 64 steps that the user can set (like a step sequencer). Step smoothing Step glide SemiLock for pitch sequencing Clock sync Starting phase Start delay Fade in Master output gain Trigger modes – mono, poly, free One shot mode 5x Envelope Generators 6 stage DAHDSR envelopes Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, Release Slope curves for ADR stages Variable from full exponential to full logarithmic Tempo or Time option for setting length of each stage. Looping of AHD stages for creating LFO types of modulations. Trigger modes – Legato, Reset, Retrigger Trigger Sources - up to 4 sources can be assigned to trigger each envelope. Matrix modulation 32 slots for source-destination mod routings with amount Modulation matrix slots can be mod destinations 8x Macro knobs and buttons Each macro knobs allows positive and negative of up to 8 destination controls Macros can be modulation destinations Arpeggiator Arp parameters can be modulation destinations. Modes Up, down, up/down, Up&down, random, note order, chord, pattern Octave Range, 1,2,3,4 Play order Up, down, up/down Swing Gate time Ratchet – repeats notes Chance – sets how often the ratchet takes place.
