Introducing Hydramorph 1.3.0

Posted on by

A major update to Hydramorph, version 1.3.0 is now available. It now supports morphing up to six-hundred-seventy-four parameters on the ASM Hydrasynth. This includes all of the parameters in the MACRO Editor. The MACRO assignments have also been added to the Send menu in Hydramorph, so that it is possible to send a predefined MACRO setup to any patch on the Hydrasynth. Here are some of the other features new to v1.3.0:

New File menu options have been added to “Select All Params” and “Deselect All Params.” This allows for including all of the parameters in the morphing process with one menu option. “Deselect All Params” instantly unchecks all the checked parameters. It is now possible to edit and randomize all 64 steps in the LFOs. The interface allows users to draw in the step as numbers or pitches and edit the steps numerically or as note values. Support has been added for updates and bug fixes in the Hydrasynth 1.5.2 firmware including several other features and enhancements. Please visit Hydramorph for more details.

HYDRAMORPH™ Morphing Editor for the ASM Hydrasynth

Posted on by

During self-isolation due to COVID-19 my teaching has moved online affording me more time toward individual projects. I had already started a building a morphing editor for the Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth, so this is where I have been directing my energy. I expected to release this software closer to mid-summer, but now it’s looking like early to mid-May. In this short video I illustrate one of the ways I use HYDRAMORPH to tease incredible sounds out of this very special instrument. I have also made discounted pre-orders available at 20% off the full release price until the release. From the Purchase page:

HYDRAMORPH™ is a generative sound design tool for the Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth polyphonic synthesizer. The application is designed to algorithmically morph parameters on the instrument in realtime. Keep playing or record the results as up to 366 (so far) parameters are manipulated! Use HYDRAMORPH to create anything from chaotic, rapidly-changing textures to slow, evolving drones. HYDRAMORPH will help you navigate the expansive sound design possibilities of the Hyrdasynth through realtime morphing of customized parameter sets. Explore endless, unique soundscapes, illustrating how diverse and powerful the Hydrasynth is. This tool will help you uncover new territory hidden within the sonic depths of your instrument.
