You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows).

All recorded at 24bit 96kHz PCM on UAD Apollo X hardware with mainly UAD FX.
I have 4 fully digital synthesizers and I crafted patches for all 4:
Beetlecrab Audio Tempera

The Hydrasynth is the most challenging (IMHO) to find a sweet spot; however I’m pleased with this bank and I think there are some unique sounds in it."

An Update from muSonics via Their Electronic Newsletter
via muSonics
It's Independence Week and while I had intended for this to go out on the 4th itself, I put a bit more work into something special for you which delayed it a few days. I hope that's okay with you.
I wanted to give everyone a status update on how things were going over here and also offer a couple of specials to celebrate. Out of respect for the dozen or so people who have been patient and trusting of me I'm going to let you know how things are going and then share a few cool deals.

TipTop Polyphonic Modular + ASM Hydrasynth : "Entangled State" by gattobus
video upload by gattobus
"This track came out of the blue while I was playing and experimenting with TipTop Audio Poly Modular System and my ASM Hydrasynth.
This patch sounds organic and deep, a perfect blend between analog and digital!
I loaded a custom wavetable on TTA Vortex 6 then I set up a classic signal path going through the poly filter (TTA Octopass) and the poly vca (TTA Octogain). Then I added some external modulations coming from Hydrasynth CV outs, which turned out to be the best keyboard controller for this incredible system!
Star of the show is TTA Resonator that adds a very organic and ethereal texture to the entire patch!
These are the modules in my system:
Vortex 6 Oscillator
ATX-1 VCO
Octopass Poly Filter
Octostages Poly Envelope x2
Octogain VCA
Octopus USB/MIDI interface
Octo I/O
Octovert
Resonator
Z-DSP 'ZVRB 80' Card.

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

ESQ-1 Let's Patch! | Live Sound Design Session | Vintage Hybrid Synth (1986) | Process Walkthrough
video upload by Dr. Synthy Pants
"Thanks to channel supporter @AlisonWilder for suggesting this real-time sound design session format for ye ol' gear tubes!
Vintage synths are magical for many reasons... not least is that they were designed with strict hardware limitations that forced the makers to invent clever solutions to difficult problems while keeping costs LOW!
(come to think of it, this may not be unique to vintage synths... I digress.) ::ahem:: Designing through those solutions is kinda like uncovering a time capsule of brilliant thinking and interesting sonic possibilities.
Maybe it IS true! Are we really only limited by our imaginations? Let's find out with Dr. Synthy Pants!"
Programming is similar to the ASM Hydrasynth.
