That would be nice but I don’t think you can splitt the MIDI channels without an external MIDI processor like the Midihub. There are plenty of ways to send MIDI messages from the HS, especially with 1.5, so you can send any MIDI CC you want via the Mod-Matrix, or the NRPN for the ribbon built-in.
Similarly there is no keyboard split, though I wish there was.
Hmmm the HS can do MPE, which uses separate MIDI channels – think, think, think.
The only synth I owned who had a dedicated MIDI channel for the Keyboard was a Novation K Station.
Cool. Thanks. That gives me some ideas.
You can disable aftertouch on Page 3 of System Setup.
Weird about your Notes tho. Did you fix that?
I have a Hydra and a Pyra and haven’t had any problems. Maybe I can help?
I can’t get any Envelopes to trig using Mod In 1. Tried with gate signals, tried with CV. Anyone?
Heads up for anyone in the UK thinking about the HS - crazy price on the keyboard today with a code at Bax (I was toying with the idea of getting the desktop but really wanted the keys, this clinched it). Could fall through of course if they don’t get stock or it’s a pricing error or whatever.
Thx, actually issue solved with factory reset… I’ll never know where it came from but I think that was just a bug
Hmm… I haven’t tried using CV. I know, for example, envelope 2 doesn’t allow external signals, but you said you couldn’t get any to work.
I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
These are very helpful :
For me, after reading the manual and watching heaps of the Hydrasynth tutorials on You Tube… these vids are ‘next level’ in terms of putting all the ‘knowing how to use it’ to use.
These are great, especially the “Rythmic Multilayer Patch” one - has a bit of that Barker (Chord-Arps/-Patterns like "Barker" - HOW?) sound to it…
I ordered a HS Keyboard the other day because I saw a price I could not resist but had been wondering whether I’ll cancel it or not as I also recently bought a Peak (again for a price I could not resist 
) and was feeling a bit… guilty!?.. but some of the vids I’ve seen, and especially that one, demonstrate how powerful the HS is compared to the Peak (which has its own selling points in terms of usabilty/playability, and is no slouch in terms of flexibility). I think I need both in my life so I’ll make peace with GAS 
Thanks for sharing!
I also have both. They are both amazing. I don’t feel guilty at all.
2020 started with discussion comparing the HS with the Argon. That went away, and there was discussion comparing the HS and the Peak. Now it seems perhaps we are into ideas with those two being separate and complimentary too. Perhaps 2021 will see us discussing something new from ASM ?
I am interested to hear your reactions when your HS arrives tdmusic.
Will be sure to post up my thoughts. I don’t think it will arrive until next year, that was the downside to the crazy price, but I’m in no rush.
Yeah, when I was first looking at the Peak and comparing to the HS, I was thinking of them as being quite similar synths, I guess because they are both pretty flexible… but now I’ve watched more videos of the HS I can see that it’s quite a different animal. What they have in common is that they are both flexible poly synths, but actually they have a lot more different than they do in common.
HS seems like a modulation dream machine with crazy degrees of control over every parameter but I imagine not exactly a “sweet spot” synth, more a “lose yourself for 4 hours making one sound” synth. Peak has elements of that but is much more on the immediate side, like I can turn on the Peak and have a great sound in 2 mins from Init, but I can’t do some of the stuff these HS videos show.
I’m sure they’ll be very happy together 
maybe I’ll even make some music to celebrate
Hi there, I’ve been looking looking for a hardware poly synth for a while now and really interested in the Hydrasynth. I’ve mostly been using Ableton Wavetables and absolutely love it but getting tired with the mouse and feel in the need for twiddling knobs!
I know the Hydrasynth has 2 filters but are these assignable to separate oscillators like the split mode in Ableton Wavetables? Thanks
Yes.
You should watch the 3 vids that I’d posted earlier. You will find the answer that I just gave you.
Oh this is fantastic, I’ll check them out now. Thanks for the reply 
Hey wave.funktion –
There is a rather full function mixer between the oscillators plus ring mod/noise generator/external audio and the two filters. The filters can be set to work in parallel or series. So look in the manual for the Mixer Module to see all the ways you can route signals. Also in the manual check out the destinations for the Mod-Matrix, you can modulate almost all the mixer parameters. Since it’s part of the Mod-Matrix you can also set up external control for the mixer too.
Oh this is sounding like exactly what I’m looking for! I’ll check the manual tonight. Thanks mate.
