Do the patches sound the same on the Hydrasynth Explorer? I'm not sure whether it's worth it to buy the more expensive Hydrasynth if the patches sound the same on the Explorer. Thanks!
Controlling them on a full sized key synth is arguably a better performance environment. If you're not capable of playing live then you'd get more value with the explorer. Or perhaps it might be worth buying an original 49 key hydra used from reverb. They feel much more special than an explorer if you're into collecting or building a synth collection. But the explorer is awesome value and very nice compact gear. It can load any presets for the hydrasynth. It's just two different experiences when playing. You'll be happy either way. get the one you want, the one that appeals to you more, not the one you think you'll need. ;)
