ASM Hydrasynth Desktop

With 8-voice polyphony, "mutator" waveform shaping and a 32-slot modulation matrix, the ASM Hydrasynth is a next-generation virtual analog synthesizer for modern music producers. Each voice features three WaveScan oscillators with 219 different waveforms, with four mutators in total providing extensive wave shaping.

Using advanced wavetable synthesis, 3 oscillators, dual wave mutators and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the sonic possibilities with this synthesizer are virtually limitless.
