Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hydrasynth Deluxe combines a 73-key semi-weighted Polytouch keyboard with two independent Hydrasynth engines. In Single mode it offers 16 voices; Multi mode organizes the instrument as two 8-voice parts for split or layered work, with Upper and Lower patch balance and two pairs of balanced stereo outputs. The sound architecture includes wavemorphing oscillators, dual filters, five LFOs, five DAHDSR envelopes, and a 32-slot modulation matrix. A four-octave ribbon, eight macros, MIDI, USB MIDI, and CV/Gate connections support performance and integrated studio rigs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building split or layered keyboard arrangements with two independent 8-voice parts in Multi mode.
- Routing Upper and Lower engines separately through two pairs of balanced stereo outputs.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a compact keyboard footprint; this model has 73 keys and is 44.53 inches wide.
