ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe Synthesizer
Really pleased I went for the Deluxe over the standard version or Explorer. Well worth the cost. Love the multi mode with split keyboard. I didn't think I cared about full size keys, given I don't play piano and primarily a guitarist. But now when I play my synth with mini-keys I struggle! The aftertouch is amazing, one of the features that makes it such an expressive synth. I've had another synth for 10years and still don't fully understand the menus and how I arrived at certain sounds. I've only had the Deluxe a few weeks and while I've only explored a fraction of its capabilities I also haven't looked at the manual once yet! I find it so intuitive and so enjoyable to play. So easy to create super characterful and beautiful sounds. I don't find it too digital or harsh, it sounds big and warm through my monitors and the stereo is so immersive wearing headphones. One function not mentioned in the specs is that it's also time machine. I sit down to play for 10mins and I'm suddenly catapulted 2hrs into the future. I still need to work out how to travel backwards in time... :-)
