PorphyryWhat's your gear?
JeanneAnalog Four, Syntakt, Digitakt, Hydrasynth and Opsix are my main boxes for brutal noise and mad sound design ;) I’m still curious about the Machinedrum and have the Anyma Omega on the way.
I have some other stuff, but that is more food for sampling than part of this setup.
I've really been eyeing the Hydrasynth for its sound design workflow (as an alternative to the Cobalt8 I currently have), how did you find the learning curve on it? Is it fairly menu dive-y, or do the onboard controls give you a clear enough picture as you build on it? My biggest complaint with the Cobalt8 is how little info you can see at any given moment. Powerful synth and sounds great but I don't know that I love the workflow.
Hey, in my opinion it is awesome to use, there are even some shortcuts to set up the mod matrix even faster. I have no complains and sometimes I wish I had two ;) Regarding the learning curve, this was done during my first days with the Hydra: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmjVUqF75lY
HYDRASYNTH - GALLERY OF SONIC BRUTALITY
That's an awesome demo, thanks for sharing! It really is appealing...the polyphonic aftertouch that the keyboard version has is also really exciting to me. The only other instrument I've seen with a similar appeal is the Expressive Osmose, which I'm less excited by in terms of sound design workflow.
