The Hydrasynth Explorer represents the most portable and accessible entry point into the Hydrasynth ecosystem, featuring a compact 37-key semi-weighted keyboard with the signature Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch technology. This battery-powered model delivers the complete Hydrasynth synthesis engine with 8-voice polyphony, making professional-quality synthesis available anywhere inspiration strikes. The mid-sized keys and reduced control set make it perfect for mobile music-making, travel, and situations where space and power are limited.
Despite its portable design, the Explorer maintains core Hydrasynth capabilities including note-on and note-off velocity sensitivity alongside polyphonic aftertouch. The streamlined control interface focuses on essential parameters with 4 arpeggiator knobs, 4 macro controls, and 3 performance filter controls. Touch strips with LED indicators replace traditional pitch and mod wheels, maintaining expressive control in the compact format.
The Explorer's battery operation (8 AA batteries providing 5+ hours of use) sets it apart as the only truly portable synthesizer in the lineup. While it features simplified connectivity compared to its larger siblings, it maintains professional audio outputs and comprehensive MIDI implementation including MPE support. The mixed construction approach with steel bottom plate and plastic upper keeps weight down while maintaining structural integrity.
