ASM Hydrasynth Explorer 888

The Hydrasynth has truly impressed me. It checks every box and has earned a unique place in my collection—not once, but twice! Owning the desktop version already, I couldn't resist adding another.

As a devoted fan of classic 90s sounds, particularly the iconic tones of the JP-8080, the Hydrasynth was an obvious choice. It not only captures the spirit of those legendary sounds but also ventures far beyond. Dreamy, atmospheric pads with incredible depth? It excels. Beautiful, expressive keys? Absolutely. Whatever your sonic needs, this synth delivers.

Its versatility and ease of use are standouts. Creating patches from scratch is intuitive, even for newcomers to sound design. Plus, the build quality is superb—solid, reliable, and ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

For the price, the Hydrasynth is an extraordinary value. I firmly believe it’s destined to become a classic in the synthesizer world. If you're considering it, don't hesitate. This machine is a dream come true.
