The Hydrasynth Preset Banks

The Analoguesque Bread and Butter I and II banks contain classic presets that are useful in every music genre. Everything from analog resonant sweeps to FM, dark and unstable “modular” leads, thumping basses, eerie pads, to some classics from the 80’s, like the lead from Daft Punk’s “Da Funk”, Duran Duran’s “Save a Prayer”, or Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough” or “Nodisco”. One of the jewels is patch # 1: The Fairlight ARR1 preset. This sound is coveted by many, including myself, but is notoriously difficult to replicate on anything but a sampler. The Fairlight ARR1 (or SARRAR as it is also known) is used in many classic 80’s tracks by The Cars, Tears for Fears, Yazoo, Duran Duran, The Art of Noise, and many more. Both banks I and II are a good mix of genres with plenty of bass sounds to keep you busy, and even some great “analog” drum and percussion for good measure. Don’t forget to play with the macro knobs though, because most of the sounds can be subtly or drastically changed with the twist of a macro knob, including the drums.

The Analoguesque Esoteric I bank is a little more “out there”, with many atmospheric and large-sounding presets. A ton of these presets can easily fill gaps in any composition and although there are some standard synth sounds, most are centered on pads and leads, with some basses and FX.

All-in-all, there are a lot of choices that showcase the wide ranging talent of the Hydrasynth. A lot of sonic ground is covered by these banks so you will find presets you love, and the macro knobs expand the sonic palette even further, with some introducing subtle changes, while others create a completely new sound.

About Analoguesque Sound Designs

Analoguesque Sound Designs started in the late 90’s as a commercial sound designer of patch banks for various samplers and synthesizers. The initial foray into commercial sound design started with the release of SoundFonts, using single-cycle waveforms and computer-generated samples to create analog and FM patches. This morphed into samples and patch banks for E-Mu EOS samplers (E-Mu Ultra series), as well as patch banks for the E-Mu Emulator X sampler software. There were also multiple patch banks for the Yamaha SY-77 and Casio CZ series synths.

The commercial endeavor ended several years ago and all these banks plus more are now available for free HERE, including almost 1,000 presets for the Studiologic Sledge.
