Hydrasynth Sounds Influenced by the Sequential Prophet 5

"So I am about to sell my Hydrasynth (mostly financial) but I thought, before I do, I will have a go at cloning some favourite style of sounds as I am in the good position of owning both, and have a lot of sound design experience.

There are no delays or reverb effects on these sounds.

I was going to make a full bank but rather than fill it with 'fill' I just chose the best 6 sounds because if I buy a back there are usually only a couple of sounds that interest me in reality. I will get a whole bank for one sound I really like.

The hydrasynth is no Prophet 5 but I think I have managed to capture some magic beyond what I previously gave it credit for.

Some thoughts: A Hydra with an analog filter though like the Arturia Mini Freak that just got released, it would make a huge difference IMO. A hydrasynth plugin, I personally prefer digital synths in plugin form, I find it so much easier and faster to work with.

Anyway, This was the best I could get synthesising and adjusting the Hydrasynth for many hours to arrive at these sounds. Pretty happy with the results, and learned a lot. These are the kind of sounds I like."
