Why 888 units?
Ultimately answering that supposedly simple question yields some interesting information — in keeping with‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’yielding some interesting sounds — for not only is 888 a strobogrammatic number, meaning that the numerals used are rotationally symmetric so appear the same when read upside down, the number itself represents triple fortune in numerology! Needless to say,‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’will surely appeal to both numerology enthusiasts and synth collectors alike.
The HYDRASYNTH EXPLORER is the ultimate in power and portability, combining the powerful Hydrasynth sound engine with battery-powered operation and our new, mid-sized Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch keybed. The user interface is designed with the utmost attention to detail, making sound creation a breeze. This is the ultimate, portable companion for any setup, and anywhere else a smaller footprint is needed.
With an advanced wavetable synthesis engine, 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutants, and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, the tone generating capabilities are unmatched.
As for the performance capabilities, the Hydrasynth Explorer has our proprietary 37-note mid-sized Polytouch® keybed with polyphonic aftertouch. This provides a level of expressive, per-note control found only in certain vintage synths.
