ASM Hydrasynth: Experimental Sound Design Tutorial (ft. Hydrasynth Explorer)

Sharing some of my favorite tips and tricks for experimental sound design and creating noisy, weird patches on the ASM Hydrasynth. In this video I walk through 5 patching techniques that embrace randomness, chaos, and timbral variety. I am using the Hydrasynth Explorer for this tutorial, however these techniques will work on the Hydrasynth Desktop, Keyboard, or Deluxe as well.

All of the (20+) patches from this video are available for download from my Patreon page, for anyone subscribed to the “Member” tier. There are also accompanying notes for each patch. You can check them out here:

[NOTE: these patches will run on any Hydrasynth model]
