  I remember I went to a music store to get a Roland JU-06A. &nbsp;I saw the Explore and after 10 minutes seeing what it could do I walked out of the store with an Explorer no questions asked.

  The Hydrasynth is funny because it gives you access to just about every parameter imaginable in a subtractive synth, and people still go online and complain that it sounds bad or only does certain sounds. It sounds like what you make it sound like!

  Things like showing Jennifer Lopez when you say &quot;Lo Pass&quot; do not go unnoticed and get a chuckle out of me every single time.

  Remarkable restraint not dropping an Xmen meme when discussing the mutants...especially when you factor in Florians resemblance to Professor X

  it finally happened. And this is the first piece of gear I own that has graced this channel! Excellent video as always. In addition to all the other praise on this thread, I want to add to that one of the other really unique things about HS is that its the closest I have EVER seen a modern synth get to modular territory. The sheer amount of modulation possibilities is an absolute game changer. The ability to loop envelopes. A Low Pass Gate option! Also I have the explorer and I have never seen a &quot;budget&quot; version of a flagship synth sacrifice so little. The minikeys still being semi weighted, the poly aftertouch, and all the features of the full one just with a bit more menu diving with 4 instead of 8 parameters at a time that is surprisingly never tedious because of how they laid everything out. An absolute unit.

  ASM really did a disservice to themselves with the selection of factory presets they supplied with the Hydrasynth. They focused a lot on the whiz-bang digital waveform patches. This caused the vast majority of people who do not much more than spin through some presets to declare authoritatively that &quot;The Hydrasynth sounds thin and digital.&quot; The Hydrasynth can sound as warm, fat and huge as you could ever imagine - it&apos;s just not demonstrated in the factory presets. Because 99.9% of the owners/commenters apparently never do any sound design on it, they don&apos;t realize what it is actually capable of. It can sound digital, it can sound like a classic analog, it can sound like 80&apos;s FM, it can even emulate pianos and EPs quite convincingly. I say this in my Hydrasynth videos repeatedly: The Hydrasynth can do EVERYTHING!
