HYDi can only be described as one thing - Quirky.

Based on a simple 3xOsc subtractive synth workflow, but with some twists. She has two voices - but is not duophonic, and should be played like a monosynth. She's built on a Don Buchla inspired philosophy - 'Uniqueness above all else'. Built with more heart than technology.

If you desire to use this on 64-bit Wine, get ready to be disappointed. On OpenMPT it just won't show the GUI consistently. It could render improperly or it could even cause the app to hang. Must install 32-bit OpenMPT just for it. I tried only on Void Linux and Wine v7.12 but it might not be different on eg. Ubuntu Studio. I like the idea of the sequencer but it's a bit too limited. This seems to have many features but there's nothing spectacular about it. It's only the difference between a full bank of presets and only sixteen of them filled in.

I love it. It's just nearly like massiv, with it's own sound. A liitle bit complicated, but therefor I have the randomize Button in Fl Studio. And these Sound are awesome. Gonna be my main vst. A user guide would be nice ;)

HYDi is a really really good synth. It's one of the synths I feel forced to experiment with it and I love the GUI. It looks a little bit overloaded at 1st view maybe, but when you start to work with it, you'll notice that the GUI is really well designed.

Paste the dll and the defaulft bank in your vstplugin folder, that's all... Check in your DAW manual for the correct path.
