Knobcon 2019: Hydrasynth with Glen Darcey

Seemingly coming from nowhere to release one of the most interesting new digital poly synths on the market Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) have made a splash with the Hydrasynth... Heading up Product and Vision for the company is Glen Darcey. 

Glen previously worked at Arturia and Akai however this new role at ASM has given him more creative control and presented some new challanges. 

Our resident US reporter Jim (Earmonkey Music) was on hand at Knobcon this year to talk to Glen about some of the creative decisions made on the Hydrasynth.
