Frequently Asked Questions About ASM

ASM instruments are primarily designed in France, with manufacturing handled by contract manufacturers in China, ensuring a balance of design innovation and production efficiency.

While ASM shares a parent company with Arturia, their instruments don't natively integrate with Arturia’s software suite. However, they are VST/AU compatible.

The Hydrasynth utilizes a proprietary physical modeling-based engine allowing for complex morphing and timbral transformations not typically found in subtractive or FM synthesizers.
