Published on Sep 11, 2019 Synthtopia

"At Knobcon 2019, Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) introduced the Hydrasynth – a new hardware synth that they say offers a massively deep and flexible sound engine and unique performance controls, including polyphonic aftertouch and a four-octave ribbon controller.

We talked with ASM's Glen Darcey, who gave us an in-depth look at the new synth."

"Seemingly coming from nowhere to release one of the most interesting new digital poly synths on the market Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) have made a splash with the Hydrasynth... Heading up Product and Vision for the company is Glen Darcey.

Glen previously worked at Arturia and Akai however this new role at ASM has given him more creative control and presented some new challanges.

Our resident US reporter Jim (Earmonkey Music) was on hand at Knobcon this year to talk to Glen about some of the creative decisions made on the Hydrasynth."

"Our resident reporter Jim (Earmonkey Music) was able to grab some time with the Hydrasynth to really get down to the knitty gritty and check out some of the sounds it can make. As a keyboard player himself he really put that poly aftertouch keybed to the test."
