The ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe is the flagship of Ashun Sound Machines' acclaimed Hydrasynth line — two complete Hydrasynth engines married to a sprawling 73-note Polytouch keyboard. In basic terms, the Hydrasynth Deluxe combines two Hydrasynth sound engines into one unit and marries it with a 73-note keyboard, giving you the power to bend, twist, and morph 16 voices of digital wave-morphing synthesis into an ocean of evolving textures. It can operate as a single 16-voice instrument or be split/layered with a dedicated 8-voice Hydrasynth engine per part, each with its own set of balanced analog audio outputs. Its advanced wavetable synthesis engine, three oscillators, dual wave mutators, and two filters that can be configured in series or parallel provide the Hydrasynth Deluxe with unmatched tone-generating capabilities.
Key elements of its design:
- Dual Sound Engines Embrace bi-timbral glory: play two independent patches simultaneously with KeySplit or Dual voice modes, maintaining a lush 8 voices of polyphony for each individual part, or combine both engines for a single 16-voice instrument. Each engine has its own set of separate balanced analog audio outputs for processing split patches as separate tracks.
- Wave-Morphing Oscillators Each of the two sound engines features three oscillators with Wave Morph, letting you scan smoothly through banks of single-cycle waveforms, plus a noise source and ring modulation for rich, complex tone generation.
- Dual Wave Mutators Each oscillator feeds dual Wave Mutators, offering waveshaping algorithms — including FM, Wavestack, Oscillator Sync, PWM and more — for radical transformations of the source waveforms and truly original timbres.
- Dual Configurable Filters Two filters per engine can be configured in series or parallel. Filter 1 offers multiple morphable filter models, while Filter 2 is a dedicated low-pass, delivering enormous flexibility in tonal shaping.
- Deep Modulation ASM provides an impressive amount of modulation capability with five envelopes and five LFOs, instantly accessible via the matrix on the front panel. The envelopes have a total of six stages, with flexibility over curvature, sync to tempo, and trigger source, while LFOs include a 64-step sequencer option.
- Expressive Polytouch Keybed & Ribbon The proprietary 73-note Polytouch keybed offers polyphonic aftertouch control over each individual note, and is MPE-compatible. Add a four-octave ribbon controller (Pitch Bend, Mod Only, and Theremin modes) plus ergonomically designed pitch and mod wheels for expression not equaled by any other hardware synthesizer.
- Arpeggiator & Effects The onboard arpeggiator gives control over time division, gate size, swing, ratcheting and chance. A comprehensive effects section with multiple simultaneous effects rounds out the sound.
- Extensive Connectivity Standard MIDI and USB/MIDI interfaces are joined by a full suite of CV/Gate inputs and outputs supporting Eurorack, Buchla 1.2V/octave, and Hz-per-volt standards, with modulation from DC to full audio rate. A utility shelf lets you place additional pedals, mixers, or synths on top of the unit.
Reviewing it for MusicRadar, the write-up framed the Deluxe as the senior partner in the Hydrasynth range, noting that it combines two Hydrasynth sound engines into one unit married to a 73-note keyboard — the flagship built for players and sound designers who want the deepest, most expressive version of the platform.
