The Hydrasynth keyboard is both a sound designers dream synth as well as a performing musicians ideal. The sound engine is designed for maximum flexibility. At the same time, Ashun Sound Machines designed the user interface in a way to allow you to edit the patch quickly with a minimal amount of paging and many workflow shortcuts. Utilizing an advanced wavetable synthesis engine, 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutators, and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the tone generating capabilities are unmatched. As for the performance capabilities, The Hydrasynth keyboard has Ashun Sound Machines' proprietary Polytouch keybed that offers polyphonic aftertouch over each note, giving you the type of expressive control found only in certain vintage synths. Add to this a 4 octave ribbon controller, ergonomically designed pitch, mod wheels and you have expression and control that is not equaled in any other hardware synthesizer on the market Today or ever.Polytouch KeybedThe ASM Polytouch keybed allows not only the standard velocity and aftertouch found on other keybeds but supports fully polyphonic aftertouch. In recent years companies have been trying to find ways to give the keyboard musician more ways to better express themselves. The problem is that their solution is almost never a keyboard, so you have to learn a new technique to play them. The Polytouch keybed features a high-quality, standard sized keys, so you can start playing it instantly.OscillatorsThe tone generation capability is the heart of any synthesizer. The 3 oscillators allow you to choose from a selection of 219 single cycle waveforms. Wavemorphing is a feature usually found on synths with preset wave tables. Creating user wavetables is arduous or downright impossible. Unlike most wavetable synths, Ashun Sound Machines' oscillators 1and 2 have Wavelist mode. This mode allows you to pick and choose 8 waves, from our bank of 219, arrange them in the order you want, and then morph from

 Even some of the more complex features like using alternative sources to trigger the envelopes or something along those lines, so i think overall, that's a pretty good testament to the design and ui and user experience overall for a pretty complicated synth. I kind of expected walking into this to be something more like my blofeld, which is incredibly powerful, but can be a bit of a nightmare to program and had a bit of a learning curve. This thing is actually very simple, which is great. There is a fair amount of menu, diving involved, but we got some big bright displays here and the layout and controls and all of that and the menu diving experience really seamlessly blend together nicely

 Let me just say that this thing is built like a tank, it's got: lots of nice, big chunky, metal knobs with nice, clicky action on a few of them and overall feels like a pretty premium instrument. It'S also got these big aluminum end caps and a steel case covering all the guts and jiggly bits when it comes to the overall feel and weight. The unit itself is surprisingly hefty and, i think, would really hold up well if you were traveling or touring with it. The only concern i might have is these paddles for the mod and pitch wheels, while they are surprisingly nice to use which i thought would be odd, given that they're pretty different than anything else i'd ever used, i think they could snap off pretty easy if they Were hit the right way because they are plastic, but i think as long as you're careful with it and use common sense, the hydrosynthear would last for a very long time for the keys on the keyboard edition

 I had a hell of a lot of fun doing it. I'M very very excited to explore this thing with you today show you some of my favorite features, talk about my experience with it and hopefully have a little bit of fun along the way on this sonic adventure, [, Music, ], big, shout out to asm as well. For lending this to me for a couple of weeks to try it out, it's been very, very fun and i think i'm gon na be sad to see it. [ Music ] go so with that [, Music, ], let's dive in [, Music, ] and explore this thing

 The macros can be assigned to multiple sources. So let's go back into the macro edit macro 1 assign this to oscillator 1 and change the destination to wave scan. Let'S increase that a bit and now, if we go back and move our macro, we'll open up the filter as well as scan through the waveform [ Music ]. Let'S maybe drop the mutant down a little bit

Exploring the ASM Hydrasynth | A Digital Hardware Monster 👹

 I'M quite figured that one out so so, if I take the filter off, you can hear there's a lot of character. That'S being added with the filter, so what am i doing in the filter right so in the filter? I filter one is a low-pass gate with quite high resonance, but it has a curious resonance. I also got quite the cutoff lower and then filter too. I'Ve got this is the same kind of filter

 I'Ve set up a patch here that just demonstrates what is going on and how we can route things. What I've got is the CV in modeler and coming in from this lifeforms sp1, and it's coming out of coming out of the sine wave output and it's modulating filter too so [, Music ]. It goes up quite high, so it's on rereading it. Three with we all know the stereo business going on in the voice, selections, which I can show you here so there's stereo width of d2 and analog flavor, I'm in poly mode, so just sort of doing a bit of extra business there, but also I've got the Mod one output coming out of here are going into the rate of the life-forms 1 and what I'm routing that so, if I can find it right, so it mod 1 in, is going to filter to cut off and then mod wheel, C V

 So anyway, let's have a look at the envelopes, because they've got quite a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Ok, let's take a look, this very simple sign. This is a just a sawtooth one oscillator into envelope with a filter filter is the low pass three lure, which is the custom filter which you could see right there. So now, let's take a look at the envelopes now by default envelope

 I also got quite the cutoff lower and then filter too. I'Ve got this is the same kind of filter. I'Ve got a bit of envelope to give me that two extra sort of attack when I hit harder and the cutoff a fairly low resonance. So if you notice here well, I'm I get a bit more attack when I hit a bit harder

Hail Hydrasynth - Sonic LAB Review

Prophet Rev2 Synthesizer 16 Voice. The Prophet Rev2 is Dave Smith’s reimagining of his Prophet ’08 poly synth, a modern classic that has appeared on countless recordings and stages since its debut in 2007. The Prophet Rev2 retains all of the key features of the Prophet ’08 with twice the polyphony, twice the mod matrix, waveshape modulation on all waveforms, digital effects per layer in stacked or split voice mode, a polyphonic step sequencer per layer, and more. Best of all, you can download any of the many existing libraries of Prophet ’08 sounds and they not only sound identical, but are enhanced with the new features. 16-Voice Polyphony With 16 voices to play with, you have the freedom to allocate them as you wish. Play two-fisted chords, stack two 8-voice sounds for massive, complex textures, or split the keyboard into two completely separate 8-voice instruments. Bold Sound The Prophet Rev2 gets its bold, punchy sound from its 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters per voice. These are the same filters used in the Prophet ’08, as well as many classic instruments of the '70s and '80s. A separate Audio Mod control adds additional harmonic complexity and movement. Waveshape Modulation You can now vary the "pulse width" of any of the four waveforms (sawtooth, saw+tri, triangle, square). Using the Shape Mod control, you can dial in a desired waveshape width or use an LFO or other mod source for continuously shifting timbre. Even single-oscillator sounds take on new depth and dimension. Extended Mod Matrix Also present from its predecessor is an easy-to-assign Mod Matrix, now twice as big, with eight individual slots and many more sources/destinations. It’s a veritable sound designer’s playground. Poly Step Sequencing The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to six notes per step. You can create a different sequence for each layer when you are working in stacked or split voice mode, making it a powerful tool for composition or performance. ...

Pulled the trigger on this Prophet Rev2 desktop. Hooking it up to my Arturia Keylab Mkii 49. Sounds amazing. Only other synth I’ve owned is a Korg Minilogue and I didn’t love it so I sold it, and have just been using Arturia Analog Lab and V Collection 8, but this Rev2 is amazing

 Sounds killer, sparked serious creativity and only had it a few hours. Amazing quality too.

New Synth. Totally blown away. Amazing.

In this price range I would probably get a Prophet Rev2, which is an amazing synth that will keep you busy for years. Vintage synths like the Juno or DX7 are cool, but they have a lot of maintenance issues. I would start with a modern synth (unless you find an amazing deal for one of those).

I'm looking to buy my first synthesizer and I'm looking for something that's versatile that I could have for a few years and is max $1,500. I really likes synths like the Juno 106 and Yamaha DX7 but I'm not sure if those would be the right synths to get at this time. 

I've been using logic for years and the built-in synths and I understand the basics of a synth, so really I'm trying to move from digital to physical synths. 

I've been researching but I'm having a hard time finding and narrowing down ones that would be good for my first synth.

Any suggestions are really helpful :) thank you!

Suggestions for my first synthesizer

 If you like, or values the gated sequencer can either be free running like this or work on a step-by-step basis in key step mode, [, Music, ]. I think this is one of the more unique and compelling features of the Rev, and you can accomplish all this with the menus, but the software is a lot more. Usable Rev also has an arpeggiator pretty standard stuff, the old mode, if you like, and the standard arpeggiator options. Okay, let's move on to sound design, [, Music ]

 This is the desktop version which has exactly the same features as the Rev with the keyboard, but it's slightly cheaper and takes up much less space. I prefer this one because you can put it on a stand in an angle and I can hook up any key. Any MIDI keyboard that I want to it. If I want a small one that works well and if I want to go bigger, I can whatever keyboard you do choose to hook up, make sure that it's velocity and after type sensitive, because these can be modulation sources in the Rev

 I want using the mod matrix, but there's another third envelope that we can use to route anywhere else. So, let's, for example, take the pitch of oscillator of the oscillators as a modulation destination. You can affect it either positive or negatively and with delay. You can have the effect be applied a while, after you press the key, so standard stuff and there's a variety of destinations here now beside that you can also loop this envelope

 So the idea here is that I can choose a preset. Let'S say this one and then let's take another one, take this guy, for example, and then either mix so have steps that are mixed in between them or morphed in between them. So let's say take this one, for example. So it's sort of, if you look at this as the starting point - and this is the end point - you've got all the sounds in between

Review of the Prophet Rev2 by Dave Smith - is it the analog poly synth for you?

TL;DR I want something with responsive knobs and sliders that’s gonna be able to give me nice warm and interesting chord/pad sounds plus fat funky bass-lines and fun melodic runs. 

 I’m not as big on the computer-y, science-fiction-y kinds of sounds that the cs seems to produce because I don’t really make techno or EDM… although I am interested in the roughness and gritty quality of many sound effects and bass-lines found in a lot of contemporary music today. I have a reface cp coming in the mail because that Rhodes sound is a staple for me, but I need something else more synthesizery to play around with making sounds for anything from cool textures(pads) to fun bass-lines and slick melodic ear-worms. I wanted to spend about 300-500 dollars but after research it looks like maybe the Deepmind 12 would be the best fit for what I’m looking for, and possibly the most fun? I’m thinking I should save up for that. Is there anything that isn’t on my radar? I probably would want to get something with polyphony for a first synth and don’t want something like the reface dx because it doesn’t seem quite as intuitive even though the sounds can be nice

Edit: I went to Sam Ash today to see what they had to try out. They didn’t have a deepmind on the floor but I played a prophet rev2 and I could tell I would be able to get the sounds I want from that thing… and way more than I would ever need. I also played a Minilogue because I know how popular they are and it makes complete sense. That thing was extremely intuitive, cool sounding, and fun even if it wasn’t producing the exact sounds I’m looking for

What Should I Buy? /// Weekly Discussion - June 28, 2021

 For instance, I read a lot of positive comments about the Prophet Rev2, but then I’ve also seen videos from people who I share similar tastes who say they didn’t like it, and I know from experience that minority opinion of people I’m familiar with is way more valuable than a consensus of strangers. So I don’t think I would trust reviews or scores from a site like the one you’re proposing.

Hi everyone,

Some of the folks in this sub might know my website, Equipboard (we show what gear artists use to make music, e.g. [Richard Devine's OP-1](https://equipboard.com/pros/richard-devine/teenage-engineering-op-1-portable-synthesizer)).

I've been working on the site quite a bit in hopes of making it more useful for the synth nerd (amongst other types of musicians), but here's the rub: 

**I want it to be useful beyond being _"that website that shows you what gear pros are using."_** 

You know how BeerAdvocate helps you figure out if a beer is good, or Rotten Tomatoes helps you decide what movie to watch? I'm trying to get as close to that as possible with Equipboard. 

Here's what I'm working with, just to give some examples:

- [Novation Bass Station II](https://equipboard.com/items/novation-bass-station-ii-analogue-mono-synth)
- [Nord Stage 3 88](https://equipboard.com/items/nord-stage-3-ha88)
- [Moog Minitaur](https://equipboard.com/items/moog-minitaur-analog-bass-synthesizer)
- [u-he Diva](https://equipboard.com/items/u-he-diva-software-synthesizer-plugin)

The thing is, it's easy to get tunnel vision over here and think, "hey a Rotten Tomatoes for music gear should exist." But, _should it?_ 

**Would you refer to the pages I linked above when researching (or considering buying/downloading) a synth? If not - or unsure - I'd love to hear why.**

I'm trying to be really honest with myself here and put it out there and get feedback, so please be honest and don't hold back, even if you think this is utterly useless and would be no part of your buying journey :)

ps. I cleared this with the mods before posting!

UPDATE: I&#39;m still reading (and re-reading) all the feedback. Thank you all SO much for taking the time to comment, and sharing insights on the things that are important to you when shopping for a synth &amp; other gear. Couple of interesting takeaways are 1) I had no idea the 5-star rating scale was generally so disliked, and 2) I had no idea Rotten Tomatoes was generally so disliked!

But seriously thank you, I am humbled by the nice comments about Equipboard. I will definitely think on all this, and press on and continue building the most useful gear resource I can.

I built a Rotten Tomatoes for Synths... What do you think?

Would love some thoughts.  Probably need to play some in person, but would love to understand more behind the designs and what they are good at.  Thanks.

  So this in on paper something that's not clear, which leads me to believe it's a sonic thing, and I get that.  So I've tried listening to some videos and such and I'm pretty sure I can rule out the Rev2 as being too similar to some of things, the P-5 and the P-6 having the VCO's that are so critical.  But between the P-5 and the P-6 I'm having a bit a trouble really distinguishing things.  Can someone help me out here?
