LOVE those sideband formant components! Is that a ring mod, or just a byproduct of bit depth and frequency?

Thank you! No Ring mod or Bit depth reduction was used. Also no Filters or Envelopes, but four LFOs 
I’ve latched a note and then changed parameters of the Mutants. It’s mostly FM plus a simple PW-ASM …

Ah! FM would have been my next choice, but there was a certain component to it that just didn’t quite sound that way. 
Nice!

Yeah I had the Explorer for a short while and thought the lack of buttons and screens were a lackluster. Had I not tried the Desktop first, however, I think I’d be perfectly happy with it. I really loved the size, the keybed and the darker design, though. What a wonderful machine.

was too long/big file to upload it here, so i threw it on soundcloud. Started with init and then did things Unfortunately, bad use of reverb (makes it sound like I held a mic to a speaker). But some interesting parts, like the ending.

Looks like a good option for a ribbon upgrade for the Explorer and the HS Desktop, may be the new Loom MPE ribbon from Aodyo. ( thread )
Heck for that matter if it is polyphonic and extra expressive ( a ribbon arp? ), it might fit in with the Deluxe and the HSK as well.

Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it - but I don’t miss it that much.

Got to say i am interested in the Loom to be used with the Hydrasynth, and i already have a ribbon on mine with the HSK. We’ll see tomorrow, but it looks like the Loom may have a near complete MPE interface, and so that opens up more expression through the MPE interface in the Mod-Matrix.

Indeed. With all the extra playing options on the Loom and the MPE versatility built into the Hydrasynth, this looks like a dynamic duo.
They don’t have a video with the HS, but here’s one with the Osmose, and you’ll get the idea.
For instance a set of chords in a key, all ready for strum.
ADDED :
Width : inches ( mm )
HSD : 24 ( 609.6 )
Explorer : 21.9 ( 556.3 )
Loom : 17.7 ( 450 )
Looom : 24.2 ( 615 )
Impressive !
This is a reasonable product for ASM to produce themselves.

It’s for sale locally, for a decent price, but
I already have a desktop, that i bought from the same seller
Worth voiding the warranty over.
Another kit option for Tall Dogs.
Is it still battery operated ??
I want one. Would use the Loom keyboard with this.

Too bad it’s to wide for rack mont.

It is still plenty small.
The keybed part could be useful too – maybe with an Arduino MIDI connection. Bit of engineering to do that but not impossible. Nice MPE minikeys controller.

Idk, he doesn’t specify. Nothing about the keybed. Mabye I should contact him.
Now if only the volume button was on the right side, then cut another 40% away. That would be the ideal size. I’d buy it exclusively for the Linnstrument.
