and two insert and two master effects that provide a lifetime of sonic exploration. The CV/GATE outputs ensure easy integration with modular synthesizers, and

modular synthesizers, and the USB MIDI and full-size MIDI DIN connectors provide standard connections without the need for special cables.

Special cables. The ASM Hydrasynth Explorer can also be powered by 8xAA batteries, allowing for portable operation. Simply put, this is a very powerful, compact synthesiser and controller in one for the modern musician.
