Update: press release follows:
Ashun Sound Machines heightens Hydrasynth experience with new ASM Manager app and Firmware 2.2 update
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: music hardware brand Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) is proud to introduce the new interaction-simplifying ASM Manager desktop application alongside the stage and studio reliability-improving Firmware 2.2 update for its critically acclaimed line of Hydrasynth digital wave morphing synthesizers — effectively enhancing their performance and usability in the process of doing so — as of May 15…
As a dedicated desktop application designed to simplify how users interact with their Hydrasynth, ASM Manager replaces ASM’s original Hydrasynth Manager with a refreshed UI (User Interface) and smoother workflow, making sound management more efficient and intuitive. Incorporated features include LIST VIEW for streamlined patch browsing; sorting by Patch name, Category, and Color; searching by Patch name; color
tagging directly within the browser; organising by Favorites; integrated UPDATE DEVICE facility for simplified firmware installation; and EXPORT LIST of patch banks as Microsoft Excel® list files for easy referencing. It is fair to say, then, that ASM Manager enhances everyday interaction with Hydrasynth — whether organising sound libraries, performing updates, or customising Favorites.
Firmware 2.2 focuses on performance enhancements, improved system stability, and adding seamless compatibility with ASM Manager. Indeed, it ensures that every Hydrasynth model delivers consistent and reliable operation on stage and in the studio. Since the original Hydrasynth Keyboard and Hydrasynth Desktop debuted in 2019, followed by the flagship Hydrasynth Deluxe and compact Hydrasynth Explorer in 2021, the Hydrasynth family has earned a reputation for its sonic depth, expressive performance capabilities, and forward-thinking interface. Its latest updates continue to refine that foundation.
Acting as a fresh source of inspiration to accompany its introduction of the new interaction-simplifying ASM Manager desktop application alongside the stage and studio reliability-improving Firmware 2.2 update, ASM is offering Hydrasynth Special Edition Patch Bank as an exclusive collection of 128 new patches created by some of the top sound designers in the industry. It showcases the expressive power and versatility of the Hydrasynth engine, covering a wide range of sonic territory from ambient textures to bold, playable leads, and is available to download — from here: https://www.ashunsoundmachines.com/downloads — for free, ready to import into ASM Manager itself.
Hydrasynth Keyboard, Hydrasynth Desktop, Hydrasynth Deluxe, and Hydrasynth Explorer are available to purchase via ASM’s growing global network of dealers/distributors (http://www.ashunsoundmachines.com/dealers) at a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $1,299.00 USD; $799.00 USD; $1,799.00 USD; and $599.00 USD, respectively, and a MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of €1,899.00 EUR; €1,119.00 EUR; €2,499.00 EUR; and €789.00 EUR, respectively.
The Firmware 2.2 update is available for free for owners of all Hydrasynth models; for further information on installation and what is included, download the Firmware 2.2 Pack — including ASM Manager, a changelog, and a Quick Start Guide — from here: https://www.ashunsoundmachines.com/downloads

New Keyboard Manufacturer Medeli Enters US Market



Press release follows:
Medeli makes musical moves to Medeli makes musical moves to enter US market, challenging competitors within arranger keyboard and digital piano segments
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: Medeli — one of the world’s largest electronic musical instrument manufacturers, mostly known as a contract manufacturer for many well-known brands in the industry, as well as being the owner of music hardware brand Ashun Sound Machines (ASM), itself acknowledged as the creator of the critically-acclaimed Hydrasynth digital wave morphing synthesizer series — is proud to announce that it is entering the US market in a big way, perfectly positioned to challenge competitors within the arranger keyboard and digital piano segments, mainly, as of January 10…
It is fair to say that high-quality products at competitive pricing, a dedicated sales and support team, and the combined experience of industry veterans benefitting from serious stints at Arturia, Elektron, and Yamaha will constitute key driving forces to promptly propel the Medeli brand’s stateside success, with the following new models becoming available there throughout 2025.
SP-C121 (MAP: $399.99 USD) offers an acoustic piano feel and sound in a compact, portable design. Being built for serious beginners and intermediate players alike, it can be accessorized for home usage only, or remain in a travel-ready state, ready to make music anywhere.
SP201 PLUS (MAP: $549.99 USD) provides experienced pianists and casual performers alike with all the essentials included in a stylish and portable package.
CP203 (MAP: $779.99 USD) delivers a beautiful sound and modern look in a compact design, making it an ideal choice for pianists of all abilities who are concerned about saving space.

ASM Introduces Limited Edition Hydrasynth Explorer 888 in Orange
Press release follows:



LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) is proud to present ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ — ultimately available as a special edition of Hydrasynth Explorer dressed up in an eye-catching orange colour scheme synonymous with the music hardware brand itself and limited to a production run of 888 units worldwide, which will surely appeal to both numerology enthusiasts and synth collectors alike — at The Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo, October 5-6, Brooklyn, NY, USA and Machina Bristronica, October 12-13, Bristol, UK…
It is fair to say that the eye-catching orange colour scheme applied to ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ has been synonymous with ASM since day one. Such synonymity is being celebrated by ASM, applying that same colour scheme to the appropriately-named ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ as a special edition of Hydrasynth Explorer — effectively a compact-sized Hydrasynth featuring a 37-note mid-sized key-bed with proprietary ASM Polytouch® technology to provide responsive velocity and expressive polyphonic aftertouch features that are not found in other smaller-sized keyboards in a perfectly portable package (optionally) powered by eight (not included) AA batteries — limited to a production run of 888 units worldwide. Why 888 units? Ultimately answering that supposedly simple question yields some interesting information — in keeping with ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ yielding some interesting sounds — for not only is 888 a strobogrammatic number, meaning that the numerals used are rotationally symmetric so appear the same when read upside down, the number itself represents triple fortune in numerology! Needless to say, ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ will surely appeal to both numerology enthusiasts and synth collectors alike. And who knows? Owners of those production-limited ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ may one day be sitting on a small fortune!
Anyone attending The Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo, October 5-6, Brooklyn, NY, USA — a free-to-the- public pop-up event of synths and guitar effect pedals — and/or Machina Bristronica, October 12-13, Bristol, UK — a festival of knobs, buttons, and discussions — could have the good fortune of experiencing ASM showcasing ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ there for all to see and hear. However, anyone wishing to buy ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ — packaged with a limited-edition sticker sheet featuring related themes — will have to practice a little patience... rest assured, though, that they will be well worth waiting for.
Available at participating authorised ASM dealers in November 2024, ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ is priced at an MSRP of $799.00 USD ($649 USD MAP)/€859.00 EUR/£715.00 GBP.
Check with dealers on the right for availability.

ASM Introduces Hydrasynth Deluxe in Silver

Six and four octave versions. Interesting flap on the six octave.
Press release follows:




ASM applies celebratory ‘cosmetic facelift’ to Hydrasynth Keyboard and Hydrasynth Deluxe to form 5th Anniversary Silver Edition models
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) is proud to celebrate its fifth anniversary as a company that is passionate about using technology to create exciting products that spark creativity by introducing two-limited edition models of its Hydrasynth digital wave morphing synthesizer with proprietary ASM Polytouch® technology to provide responsive velocity and expressive polyphonic aftertouch — applying a celebratory ‘cosmetic facelift’ to form the aptly-named Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition — at SUPERBOOTH24, May 16-18, FEZ-Berlin, Germany…
Certainly celebrating its fifth anniversary milestone in stunning style, ASM’s Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition are each limited to 200-unit runs that will surely become highly-sought- after collector’s items, prized by serious synthesizer aficionados. Appropriately, each limited-edition model boasts a sparkling silver finish with a custom 5TH ANNIVERSARY SILVER EDITION print on the top panel, duly distinguishing them from the ‘standard’ Hydrasynth Keyboard — launched in 2019 to widespread critical acclaim as a digital wave morphing synthesizer featuring an ASM Polytouch® 49-note polyphonic aftertouch keybed and a user-assignable ribbon controller — and Hydrasynth Deluxe — itself offering a dual sound engine setup and the largest (73-note) ASM Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch keybed to date upon its introduction in 2021 — models that are still going strong today thanks to regular firmware updates; by that same token, Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition’s custom-made side panels prominently feature the HYDRASYNTH logo, while both synths ship with a Certificate of Authenticity showing the unit number — not forgetting, of course, the silver sticker that is included in both packages.
Applying a fine finishing touch to the celebratory proceedings, ASM has closely collaborated with a carefully chosen team of specialist sound designers, duly including an exclusive custom patch bank on both limited-edition models to further commemorate its fifth anniversary as a company that is passionate about using technology to create exciting products — products that definitely don’t come much more exciting than Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition!
Anyone attending SUPERBOOTH24, May 16-18, FEZ-Berlin, Germany is invited to swing by Booth H205 where ASM is introducing Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition, exhibiting them alongside their ‘standard’ synth siblings for all to see and hear. However, anyone wishing to buy a Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and/or Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition will have to practice a little patience — but rest assured they will be well worth the wait.
Expected to ship in June 2024, Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition will be available to purchase — priced at an MSRP of $1,649.00 USD ($1,449.00 USD MAP)/€2,049.00 EUR/£1,799.00 GBP and an MSRP of $2,149.00 USD ($1,949.00 USD MAP)/ €2,649.00 EUR/£2,299.00 GBP, respectively.
Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition shares the same specifications as the ‘standard’ Hydrasynth Keyboard.

Kind of interesting ASM added the logo on the power supply. Extra bit of detail and an extra cost for an already relatively affordable synthesizer. Curious how many other synths have logo'd power supplies.

The Hydrasynth offers 219 single-cycle waveforms, including standard analogue waveforms and complex waves arranged in banks of harmonically related content.
The oscillator section is designed to be manipulated to create rich, evolving tones. The modulation sources allow for a wide range of control, from subtle glides to aggressive biting tones, all attached to a unique, small-key, poly-touch keyboard.

Hydrasynth Manager 2.1 Tutorial
ASM adds features and functions to perennially popular Hydrasynth range with major (2.0) firmware update available for free
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: creativity-sparking sensational products provider Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) is proud to add features and functions to its perennially popular Hydrasynth range — comprising the original Hydrasynth keyboard and Hydrasynth desktop, announced to widespread critical acclaim in September 2019, followed by the flagship Hydrasynth Deluxe and portable Hydrasynth Explorer models announced in September 2021 — with a major (2.0) firmware update available for free as of March 15…
As an appealing appetiser, ASM’s major (2.0) firmware update adds three more memory banks to the Hydrasynth keyboard, desktop, and Explorer models, matching the Deluxe’s existing eight banks for a total of 1,024 patches. Put it this way: all are cutting-edge digital wave morphing synthesizers that positively invite their respective users to get involved in designing sounds, so more memory makes sense. Speaking of sound design, each Hydrasynth oscillator — OSC 1, OSC 2, and OSC 3 — now includes a new BitRedux (bit reduction) parameter that allows users to choose between OFF, 16, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 bits.
But — given that the 2.0 firmware update readily ranks as a major one — there is more, including more modulation options, thanks to a new modulation source called VoiceMod (voice modulator) that allows users to offset values for each voice that can then be applied in the Mod Matrix to vary chosen parameters per voice. Digging deeper, all five envelopes — ENV 1 through to ENV 5 — and LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) — LFO 1 through to LFO 5 — have new Quantize options, so adventurous users can quantize their outputs to achieve unique stepping effects. Excitingly, now it is possible to choose to advance through the steps with each new note on with the LFOs in Step mode, meaning users can play through the steps one by one with each new note press.
For flexibility in the studio or at home, Hydrasynth’s version 2.0 firmware update also allows users to bypass each of the (Pre-FX, Post-FX, Delay, and/or Reverb) effects globally in the system page — to record a dry signal without having to edit each patch, in other words. Thanks to the 2.0 firmware update, Hydrasynth users can choose how the sustain pedal operates. The three options available are: Sustain — traditional sustain (as it has always worked), Sostenuto — press and hold a single note while playing notes above it, and Mod Only — disables the sustain function, allowing users to then route it in the Mod Matrix.
Meanwhile, mention must briefly be made of other added features and functions, to include: Arp range expanded to six octaves; new Arp Step Offset parameter; Bank selection from browser window; ability to randomize all steps in LFO Step mode; new display Dim, On/Off options; Glissando mode added to Glide options; fine control for more subtle options offered by Vibrato; and Local On/Off status recalled (with in-screen reminder). As ASM CEO Glen Darcey duly concludes: “We hope you like the new features in 2.0. I would ask that you download the manual; there are some good tips and tricks on each of the new features and functions in there.”

HYDR SYNF by NYZ
"Unabridged digital only edition available at noyzelab bandcamp =>
https://noyzelab.bandcamp.com/album/hydr-synf
Originally released November 4, 2022 available as limited physical edition CDr & name your price abridged digital on Psøma Psi Phi =>
pspsph.bandcamp.com/album/hydr-synf
HYDR SYNF is a sixty-four minute drone monolith, coaxed out of the Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth - the newest smoke signal from Cootamundra, and the first Noyzelab recording at Psoma Psi Phi since the MYZTRYZ assemblage in May. Like many of Burraston's drone recordings, HYDR SYNF exists in a state of minimalism and maximalism simultaneously, allowing the listener to determine (by way of their volume dial) how much or how little of it to fill the room. HYDR SYNF, for its part in this relationship, works beautifully both ways, as a quiet intimate hum to dot the corners of the wall with, or as an immense structure that is dense enough to dissolve those walls, and replace your surroundings altogether. Noyzelab recordings are like no other, as many frequent listeners here will no doubt attest, in their ability to remove axiomatic information from the world they inhabit. There are no longer discernible directions in space or time, and after long enough of a sustained runtime, it becomes possible to dispense with space and time entirely.
Recorded on 19th January 2022 at Noyzelab using ASM Hydrasynth Desktop. Mixed 2nd August 2022 at Noyzelab. Text and design by ABM&D. This is NYZ-XX, #20 in the NYZ subcatalog at Psoma Psi Phi. David Burraston and the Noyzelab logo appear courtesy of Noyzelab.
Released November 4, 2022"

Ambient Hydrasynth Explorer // Tefty & Meems
video upload by Tefty & Meems
"Our first ambient jam with the @ASM Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth Explorer! Strictly used presets from the 'ambient' and 'arp' categories and tweaked from there. Everything was tracked to Ableton one at a time. Meems improvised vocals at the end. We've been posting a fair bit of ambient tracks recently, but we have a synthwave album in the works! Going to be done soooooon. Excited to share when the tracks are finished."
