Hydrasynth from ASM

I started saving for an HSK this spring, expecting it to take a year or two. Dream synth! I’ve been unloading some stuff I don’t need and made an appointment to sell a guitar two days ago - which worked out great, because I did a random search for “hydrasynth” on Craigslist on a whim, more out of curiosity than any expectation I’d get lucky, and found someone selling an HSK for $500. That guitar sale almost covered the whole thing!

Connected with the guy and made a plan to pick it up yesterday, fully expecting at that price to get scammed at best but probably murdered. Dropped the kids off at school, drove three hours and two states away, didn’t get scammed OR murdered, made it back in time to pick up the kids… And now I have a hydrasynth keys. Which is just like new.

Still kind of reeling! My music setup is in a very small closet and somehow the HSK juuust fits, snug against the wall on either side. I’ve got everything connected and I am SO STOKED. I’ve read all 3800 posts in this thread over the last three days - the best part is 3200 comments in when Jeanne shows up and starts throwing down, runner up is Jukka the wizard.

Now I guess all I’ve got to do is learn how to use this thing? I don’t even know where to start haha
