ASM Hydrasynth 1 4 update PhazDiff

Published on Apr 8, 2020 Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"Grab the update here http://www.ashunsoundmachines.com/dow...

Improvements:
System setup now saves Tuning, Scope, LED Dim, TempoLock now.
Now when you name a patch, shift+left control knob will bring you to the first character of current group instead of previous group.
Tempo knob easier to hit 120 now.
Mutator in mod des renamed to Mutant.
Optimize the home page patch name display.
Now if you save a patch with glide off, it will record the glide time information.
Now Hydrasynth will send clock only in INTRUN mode.
System ARP mode from OFF/ON change to RX Only/TX RX/TX Only
Now if you hold a note, and change octave, the note polyAT still work.
When Overflow ON，now USB MIDI will still follow AT TX。
Cut the internal midi loop in chord mode.

Bug fixed:
When you have midi loop, mod matrix will change depth when you highlight the mod des.
Fix the bug that Hydrasynth didn't respond to program change when MPE on.
Fix the CV Mod in offset inverted problem.
Using Ext tempo with DAW, and play latch ARP. There will be a chance to generate a long note when you stop the DAW.
Not sync with DAW downbeat while using ext clock.
Fix the bug the Hydrasynth didn't save ribbon Hold in patch.
When overflow On,1 USB Midi didn't respond to AT TX setup.
Fix the bug that there's chance the direct cutoff don't work in some pages.
c-1 ref note didn't respond pb wheel
Very low note may send wrong CV
Fixed sometime after you change the patch, the * will disappear."

Published on Mar 1, 2020 SynthAddict

"Quick-n-dirty OP-Z jam and live FX mixdown/performance using the excellent StillHouse sampler pack from Winston Giles Edwards and Ken Flux Pierce. I specifically used the SingleMaltCharred kit for all rhythm elements. Thanks for the cool kit guys! Enjoy...

Make sure you guys go get the excellent free sample pack from Ken's FluxWithIt website. It's very atmospheric and raw."

"exploring the Radikal Technologies Delta Cep A semi modular synth. I has become very apparent that this synth is deceptively deep. hiding modulations and routings, fx and even quantizers inside its seemingly normal skin. take a seat and use some proper monitors."

Update2: You can sign up to be notified with the Kickstarter launches here.

Update: some info on the module via https://synthtech.com:

"INTRODUCING THE E520 HYPERION, A STEREO EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Kickstarter campaign launches on Nov. 15th and the KS page will activate on Nov. 10th. Estimated shipping: late May 2020.

OVERVIEW

The E520 Hyperion is a mono/stereo in, stereo out effects module. It is 48HP wide and uses less than 300ma of +12V and less than 70ma of -12V.

Powered by a 480MHz ARM Cortex M7 CPU, the E520 has 64MB on on-board SDRAM for recording up to 6min of stereo audio at 48KHz sample rate. The LCD screen and optical encoder navigation uses the same 'shallow' menu scheme of our E352 and E370 modules, with the addition of 4 'soft keys' for selecting options without having to leave the main page.

The E520 uses a premium audio path not usually found in Eurorack. Crystal Semi CODECs, TI OPA-series op amps and WIMA film caps in the output stage are used along with low-noise, dedicated LDO voltage regulators for a clean, full soundstage. Audio conversion uses 48KHz sample rate, 24bit resolution with a line or synth level setting.

Please note this is a 'living document' and subject to modification at any time over the next 8 weeks.

"Over the past year or so I was fortunate enough to work on this project. Eventually it became one of the most interesting synthesizers I have seen hit the market in ages. What makes the ASM HydraSynth so special? let’s start with a run down of the bullet points first.

Hydrasynth is an 8 voice digital wavemorphing synthesizer.

8 voices3 oscillators: 219 waveforms, custom wavetables with wavelist/wavescan function, ring mod, 3 noise colors.4 custom “mutator” sections each with 7 effects FM-lin,wavestack,PWM,PWM squeeze, PWM-ASM,Sync,Harmonic sweep. oscillators can be stereo panned.

2 Simultaneous filters that can be arranged in parallel or series. Filter 1 has 11 filter models including traditional Moog style 12 and 24db ladder filters, q compensated 12 and 24db ladder filters ala MatrixBrute, 18db slope LP,BP,HP,filters based on the Threeler eurorack filter, MS20 style HP and LP filters,LPG filter and a Vowel filterOscillators can blend into filters at varying amounts, Filter 2 is a SEM style multimode filter with morph control LP-BP-HP.dedicated analog 270 degree pots for cutoff, resonance and Drive/Morph.

5 6-stage DAHDSR envelopes with BPM sync allowing you to sync the slope of each stage to the beat. Looping with definable number of repeats

5 LFO each with 10 waveforms + noise, delay, fade in/out, and phase. multiple trigger modes , step mode with pattern length.

32 point mod matrix with 28 sources and 188 destinations .

8 macros each with scribble strip and up to 8 destinations each. Macro buttons also allow for quick value changes.
