In a sense, it's good - it just means that the ball is back in the artist's court to make mindblowing stuff.A DX7 blew people's minds, the D50 did it again, and the M1 did it again as well - and every new advance has either been numerical (more memory! You should definitely check out ACB/SYSTEM 8 to hear what "new school" VA can do in an intuitive package. If there's a shortcut key combo to jump to page 4 or page 9 of the system menu, I'd like to know that (as one random example).

That's not to say that some setting combos might not get yucky, but with a synth this deep, they chose to maximize options rather than make the synth all 'sweet spot', so that's worth keeping in mind.It is disappointing how other well established synth manufactures have compromised the integrity of their product using light weight plastic construction materials that wont hold up as good as the Hydrasynth in constant transport. It is a digital eight-note polyphonic instrument with three analogue modelling oscillators, two of which can perform 'waveform scanning'. Outside of our operating hours licences will take longer but will be delivered as soon as possible on the next business day. Depending on the model, the sound might be affected to varying degrees by the sample rate, lookup table resolution and DAC distortion, and this can add some apparent brightness and aliasing to the sound.

However, the general sentiment of what you express, I can relate to that, and to me that's a sign of technology slowing down (and likely aging, too).No way to know this without the manual, but certainly beats assembling your own wavetable from individual waves each time, even though this remains a great but slow option. Before moving on, it's worth mentioning that the ring modulator can make use of any oscillator, Mutator, Mod input or noise (white, pink or brown). Don't hit the big shiny knob in the middle while editing a preset, for any reason, or you will erase your hard work, noooo!

Rather than fixed tables, the Hydrasynth permits the user to create lists of up to eight waveforms, with gaps and silences available for punctuation and fades.It's The One-Eyed King and it will reign supreme until someone has the decency and cojones of deposing it. I mean you bought this proudly deep and digital synth, end up disappointed that it doesn't perform that well doing mostly basic VA stuff in terms of UI and sounds, and not only do you feel this is something reviewers should have warned you about, it's something the manufacturer should try and address. If you position Wavstack after an FM Mutant, those icy FM tones become something altogether more lush. As for the performance capabilities, The Hydrasynth Desktop / Rack has 24 polyphonic pressure touchpads so that you can play the unit without needing to connect a keyboard or other controller.
