Inspiration

Hybrid 6000 delivers a surprisingly impressive palette of sounds made possible by a hidden gem from 1987, the HT-6000, a multitimbral 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with 4 DCOs and discrete VCF, DCAs per-voice, and a wonderful analog chorus. While the DCOs shared waveforms, they could each utilize discrete tunings, velocity curves and DCA envelope settings allowing the creation of complex, moving timbres reminiscent of much more expensive analog synths of the time.

Instrument

Hybrid 6000 dives deep into the realms of synthwave, new wave, electro, house, industrial, '80s synthpop and more. We multi-sampled a huge selection of patches custom-designed on the HT-6000, and recorded every sample multiple times, normally, and with the chorus engaged, giving you access to a wider range of the possible hardware sounds.

For the individual drum instrument and multi drum accompaniment layer we've included vintage era drums from an epic selection of hardware such as the HT6K Original, DRP One, Mini Acoustic, Rap Toy, and a host of modern sounds created in our very own Drum Designer to round it off. Explore the collection of preset patterns, use MIDI drag-n-drop to move them to your DAW, or sequence them yourself.

Hybrid 6000 provides everything you need to create rich analog synth lines, bass, drums, arps and phrases, all the way up to entire songs. Created with musicality and inspiration in mind, we've tried to make Hybrid 6000 both a versatile and fun to play instrument. Loaded with 6 discrete layers, you have independent control over 8-tracks of drums, bass, melody, and 3 general purpose synth parts. Use these in any way you like, from conventional instrumentation to creative layering and effects.

Each of the instrument layers in Hybrid 6000 (aside from the drums) has its own amp envelope, multimode filter with envelope, effects including drive, phasor, and EQ, send effects including reverb and delay, and a complex arpeggiator/phraser, allowing the creation of unique and moving sequences. You can tweak and adjust these modules completely, explore a wide selection of presets for both the sound engine and arpeggiator, or create your own.

In addition to the multi-instrument, each of the individual parts is available standalone, allowing you to load up just what you need in your arrangement. Each of the standalone instruments is identical to its multi counterpart, with the same selection of parameters, effects, effect sends, arps, and preset. Use them to focus on individual sound design, when you only need a single instrument, or to create additional instances of particular instruments.
For those looking for a deep instrument to get lost in sound design Hybrid 6000 has huge potential, but it’s also ready to provide immediate inspiration. Packed with ready-to-go sounds and musical ideas, it's pre-loaded with a generous selection of 250+ factory patches, showing off the instrument's sonic potential, and creative visions from our in-house sound design team.
