Analoguesque Bread &
Butter I and II
The Bread and Butter I and II banks contain classic
presets that are useful in all music genres. Everything from analog resonant
sweeps to FM, dark and unstable “modular” leads, thundering basses, and 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” and “Nodisco”. One of the jewels is patch #
1: The Fairlight ARR1 preset. This sound is coveted by many, 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. Play around with the macro knobs, even
on the percussive patches, because most of the sounds can be subtly or
drastically changed with the twist of a macro knob.

Analoguesque Esoteric I
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.

Analoguesque Random
Experiments
The Hydrasynth has a fantastic option to create random
patches while limiting the level of randomization, which reels things in and
makes the randomness more playable. The entire Analoguesque Random Experiments bank of 128
patches was generated using the randomize option that draws from patches
already on the synth. While not completely random, it still generates mostly-playable
patches that are different from those it is based on. It is not a
silver-bullet patch generator and can take several tries to get a useful
sound, so editing is often required to make it playable. It is also not a
quick-fix patch generator - these 128 patches took longer to generate than it
would have to create them from scratch. However it was worth the time because
the randomization often pushes past your creative boundaries. It can be
inspiring.

Analoguesque Esoteric II
The Analoguesque Esoteric II
bank is a continuation of I, but this time the focus is more on large-sounding
or atmospheric presets. Additionally, many of them also employed the use of
randomization, as in the Random Experiments bank. There are some great pads
for creating eerier atmospheres or setting the mood, but also some off-the-wall
leads, pads and basses.
