Music hardware brand Ashun Sound�Machines (ASM) is proud to introduce the new interaction-simplifying ASM Manager desktop�application alongside the stage and studio reliability-improving Firmware 2.2 update for its�critically acclaimed line of Hydrasynth digital wave morphing synthesizers � effectively�enhancing their performance and usability in the process of doing so � as of May 15�
As a dedicated desktop application designed to simplify how users interact with their Hydrasynth, ASM�Manager replaces ASM�s original Hydrasynth Manager with a refreshed UI (User Interface) and smoother�workflow, making sound management more efficient and intuitive. Incorporated features include LIST VIEW for�streamlined patch browsing; sorting by Patch name, Category, and Color; searching by Patch name; color tagging directly within the browser; organising by Favorites; integrated UPDATE DEVICE facility for simplified�firmware installation; and EXPORT LIST of patch banks as Microsoft Excel� list files for easy referencing. It is fair to�say, then, that ASM Manager enhances everyday interaction with Hydrasynth � whether organising sound�libraries, performing updates, or customising Favorites.
Firmware 2.2 focuses on performance enhancements, improved system stability, and adding seamless�compatibility with ASM Manager. Indeed, it ensures that every Hydrasynth model delivers consistent and�reliable operation on stage and in the studio. Since the original Hydrasynth Keyboard and Hydrasynth Desktop�debuted in 2019, followed by the flagship Hydrasynth Deluxe and compact Hydrasynth Explorer in 2021, the�Hydrasynth family has earned a reputation for its sonic depth, expressive performance capabilities, and�forward-thinking interface. Its latest updates continue to refine that foundation.
Acting as a fresh source of inspiration to accompany its introduction of the new interaction-simplifying ASM�Manager desktop application alongside the stage and studio reliability-improving Firmware 2.2 update, ASM is�offering Hydrasynth Special Edition Patch Bank as an exclusive collection of 128 new patches created by�some of the top sound designers in the industry. It showcases the expressive power and versatility of the�Hydrasynth engine, covering a wide range of sonic territory from ambient textures to bold, playable leads,�and is available to download � from here: ashunsoundmachines.com (ashunsoundmachines.com) � for free,�ready to import into ASM Manager itself.
