This came with my Akai MPK Mini MK2 and I never even bothered downloading it even though it was free with the controller. After watching this, it's clear that I really should just hurry up and download it already, cause this is amazing!
This review is very well done. Just note, you have to skim past EDM sounds if you want to really see what a synth can do. Again, hats of to this review for taking us on a spin around this plugin
I have Air Loom and Hybrid and I must say I am more impressed with those synths than Sylenth, Hive or Massive which all sound flat to me. It all depends on the kind of music we want to make I guess. Air Loom sounds robotic which I like, it's great for making weird sounds and effects, and Hybrid sounds very warm and dark.
Very helpful and informative overview - thanks. I just got Hybrid 3 today, and its sound is stunning. As the narrator in the video indicates, it's all about the music, and from the short time I've had Hybrid 3, this synth has already inspired me musically with just a brief, cursory tour through its amazing set of presets. The pads alone are worth the price of admission. Highly recommended!
Brilliant review - you're coverage is amazing - enjoyed the overview for the first half and the all the examples of sounds in the second half - a real treat - Thanks!!!!
Love this synth!!!! And I own Omnisphere and an Ob8 as well. Instant inspiration.. these guys did an awesome job putting together a solid product, killer patches, clear interface. I got it on sale at such a steal I have to at least give it praise.
I simply can't understand why this synth isn't being discussed more. It might not have as many bells and whistles as Spectrasonics upcoming Omnisphere 2 (which is awesome), but there is a strong attention to detail in the overall sound of the instrument that I REALLY dig.
5 years later, it's still a formiddable synth, and it doesn't eat too many reasources so I can have a project with quite a few instances of it. I picked it up for about $5. Unreal. No need to spend hundreds on synths.
Why should it become unrevelant after any time? It’s a piece of extraordinary software that’s not going to get old, I don’t believe it’s capabilities are ever going to be lesser than my demands :)
Sounds really great i've check it out price of AAX Hybrid 2 wchich is 150$ for the version 2.0 but i guess everybody waiting for final price that 3.0.On the other hand some people wish to compare Hybrid 3 to ReFx Nexus 2 ( last time it was 199 Euro for 1100 basic presets and samples unfortunately now is 249 Euro and 46 Euro for ech selected by customer additional expansion).I hope Air Hybrid 3 will be more affordable:))and compete with that stuff: as well:)
IN my opinion Nexus 2 is more powerfull than Hybrid also have high quality fantastic collection of samples from Virus Ti, Virus Snow and top shelf analog and digital synthesizers:)))especially i love it new modern commercial expansions:))..just sounds magnificent:)))
Hey maybe you can help me with this problem. I have edited some presets that come in the library of Hybrid and save them in a folder I created on my desktop. Now the problem is when I go and try to open the saved presets Hybrid doesn't recognize the file. What am I doing wrong? The files save as .tfx
Can't tell any difference in the doubling on or off at 9:15. Maybe my ears are too dull. **EDIT** I just downloaded a copy from Plugin Boutique after getting a special offer in my email. Tried the Doubling for myself and yup, there's a difference! Sweet synth!!
This is a beautiful sounding synth and what a great review. This synth is currently(for a few days only), on offer for just $1 through vstbuzz. As long as it's 64bit(which the air website seems to confirm), I'll be snapping their hand off. Thanks for the review.
From what I hear here there isn't much that gets me excited. But, you never know where your next sound is going to come from. So it finds a place in my VST folder.
Hey, i am a new music producer, i started about like 8 months ago or something.. And i just started adding vsts to my fl studio. and now that i know how to use fl, can you add hybrid to Cubase & fl??
Got this with APC40, i like the sound but browsing 1200 presets divided in folders with mouse is. ??? Is there any way i could assign keyboard keys for changing presets ?
I need your help Every time i write something and finish recording all the settings of hybrid change by their own. The same happens every time i close and reopen my DAW. Is there a solution for this? This inconsistency is very annoying.
Got this for a quid a couple of months back on plugin boutique, unreal value absolutely loving this synth. Hard to find many videos on it this is a great lowdown of what it can do nice work 👍
Need Help. I did a saved on a creation I made but I don’t know how to bring it back up. I see where I saved it to but how do i bring it back up ? It’s not inside of the drop down menu like a normal software would work.
I'm more of a hardware dude that was flipping sounds on my 6Hd Through Logic,,, this synth came with the MPC Ren and I just feel in love with it. I've tried other solfsyths and after a while I lose interest in them fast. I really like this 1 and haven't even pull sounds from my 6hd in a while.
This VST comes bundled with the m audio code series of midi controller, and i think, i will buy one of them. Is this a good replacement for something like sylenth? I don't want to spend another 150€ on software.
Fantastic review! I hate to say this because I'm a huge fan of u-he Zebra 2 ... but some of the sounds here _might_ _just_ _be_ more sophisticated than in Z2 ... and I say that with a heavy heart because I _love_ Zebra 2. However, I'm sure the oscillators aren't nearly as sophisticated as the wavetable engine in Z2, but still, the depth and tone of these sounds are inspiring, as you've pointed out. This looks to be well worth the $150.00 price tag :)
my preset banks aren't working! I don't know how to load them up, I usually compose orchestra, but I got an mpk and it came with this, so ive got hybrid loaded but the preset is 'default'. please help meh.
anybody else have the problem where you get everything downloaded and you go to your plugins and hybrid is nowhere to be found, then you try to retype the code and it says the limit has been reached?? please help!
hey, the presets are in the application/program directory, and they did not show for me b/c the permissions were set wrong when it installed I had to right click on the application folder and set the permission to where I owned the folder, then my presets worked.
Its just been announced it will be given away free with the new akai apc line in may and also new m audio keyboards too so it works out better value to buy with hardware. Im buying the akai apc mini its only £79 but you get abelton live 9 akai edition/hybrid 3/lots of expansion packs for abelton live/sonivox tweak synth plus the akai apc mini hardware too...thats a bargain !!!!!
APC mini wont include sonivox twist, that comes with the APC key 25. Heres a small comparison: LaunchKey mini comes with vstation and bass station. APC key 25 comes with hybrid 3 and sonivox twist. Launchpad mini does not include any synths. And the APC mini comes with hybrid but not the twist. (All include ableton lite ofcourse) IMHO akai has the better software bundle.
Is this available in both 32 and 64 bit? Im an idiot and installed the 64bit and now most plugins dont even work for it... why they make ableton without a built in bridge to help cross run 32/64 bit plugins i will never understand
when I run the authorized I get this message:''an error occurred with the internet activation server.the operation timed out(error 12002) ID:16010/WPSW:684''.i tried also the manual activation,but nothing worked!please,can somebody help me?
You should have just left the whole video on the sounds, cause i was in a trance. Wow! Got this for free when i bought my Akai mpk mini. Never really explored it. Can't believe I got this for free! PRICELESS! Lol.
i'm really not good at synthesis, i remember a synth where you could select a random button which would then randomize all paramaters and come up with new original sounds. That would be cool.
Neat synth, nice sounding, and independent A/B parts is a great feature (reminds me of Surge). But I don't understand, why there is no simple crossfade control to morph between the parts (like in Linplug MorphoX). it is obvious feature to have for such a synth.
I always get sort of intimated and confused by the layout and controls of this thing LOL. Before I would just reach for this synth if I was looking for something out of left field or inspiring (as you say) but only really for presets. If I could just figure out how to get vibrato modulation just like i'd expect on other synths I'd use it more often - this is the reason I haven't fully adopted it. I'd get a decent lead or bass sound but could not figure out the modulation section. But more and more I am finding that I must unleash the potential! 6 oscillators! Jesus!

Awesome I have hybrid 2.0 looking forward to free update. Love your videos Russ. When it come to pro tools and plugins info your the man. :)

Great and inspiring video! Just got my AKAI MPK mini together with Hybrid 3 and stumbled upon this Hybrid's review!
Love that introspection sound. Sat for half an hour myself just playing a few ideas as well. Only paid £1 from plugin boutique 😉
Same. It's a steal. Now that black friday is coming, i will be on Plugin Boutique hunting plugins ;)

Got this todat wih my MPK mini and I'm blown away by the presets. Love the bell and arpeggio ones. Great video!
I cannot believe this synth was available for 1 Euro! This synth even in 2018 is versatile and sounds great. Thanks for the video.
FREE WITH AN AKAI APC MINI
+Synthematix Also the MPK Mini!
And m-audio zone
But you can install it only on one computer. I bought new laptop and cannot activate licence on it :(
how do you do that ?
and m-audio code 61
at last a review where the guy knows what he is talking about
great review! And i gotta say, I have listened to a lot of the factory presets and some of em blew my mind. They just sound SO COOL!
Thanks for a great review. I just purchased this because of you.
Xpand!2 also came with Pro Tools and a bunch of other synths as I've been told.
Absolutely enjoyed watching thank you.

This really makes me want to write some synthwave
ahhh such an underrated software .....and yet powerful. I have Omnisphere and yet this is still is my goto synth
Thanks so much! This really helped me get my hands around this awesome synth!
Thanks for this, I’m gonna buy it now.

Some wonderful sounds coming from this my man.
thanks for the detailed look! just got the Akai MPK Mini II and the synth came with it; now I'm pumped to mess around with it
Did you have any problems getting it to insta? Cant get the actual application to download.
+9monsoon DUDE SAME HERE
This is the best synth out there bang for buck. It's definitely in the top 5 of all synths
Can NOT wait for this upgrade! Wow...looks fantastic! A gorgeous compliment to my Nexus 2!
IN my opinion Nexus 2 is more powerfull than Hybrid also have high quality fantastic collection of samples from Virus Ti, Virus Snow and top shelf analog and digital synthesizers:)))especially i love it new modern commercial expansions:))..just sounds magnificent:)))
Yes, Nexus is a great ROMPler...but it is not a fair comparison because Hybrid is a true virtual synth not a ROMPler. They do different things.
fuserproducer i also like nexus but after 5 XPs they all sound the same.
Hey maybe you can help me with this problem. I have edited some presets that come in the library of Hybrid and save them in a folder I created on my desktop.

thank you sir. Now we talking power moves! Let's get it...
By the way, play this on speed 0.75 on the setting of these tutorial videos, just in-order to be able to understand a bit better.
For one Euro on sale at PlugIn Boutique, it sounds incredible. No complaints. Inspirational sounds.
Awesome! Can't wait to use mine! Thanks!
This is a great vst. Keep an eye out on plugin boutique as this plugin can be on special quite often. I actually got it for £1.
Nice presentation sir. I am new to this and it helped out a lot. Cheers from Canada!

This vid is fantastic even for its historical production educational content. Thanks for pointing out all those artist and style similarities. :)
does anyone know how to install and run this plug in?
From what I hear here there isn't much that gets me excited. But, you never know where your next sound is going to come from. So it finds a place in my VST folder.
I`ve used it recently, and i think for Pad sounds or anything that is supposed to sound docile and light but big, Hybrid is incedible
Hello, in standalone mode, where is it possible to decrease the sequence arpeggio tempo please?
Thank you for review.
Do you know when Hybrid 3 will be available ?
This looks fantastic!
Great review
Great plugin 💙💙💙
Thank you for this!!
is there anyway to record the sounds u make on this awsome app.. GREAT Vid M8
When I press a sound (e.g. Trance-ition Pad as you did) IT DOES NOT MAKE A SOUND!!! Do you know what might the problem?
Hey, i am a new music producer, i started about like 8 months ago or something.. And i just started adding vsts to my fl studio. and now that i know how to use fl, can you add hybrid to Cubase & fl??
I always forget turning the modwheel before deleting factory presets I don't wanna have.
Thanks for reminding me not to do that
Got this with APC40, i like the sound but browsing 1200 presets divided in folders with mouse is. ??? Is there any way i could assign keyboard keys for changing presets ?
For sure it is trance orientated synth.Those pads and supersaw leads.Yummy.
I need your help
Every time i write something and finish recording all the settings of hybrid change by their own.
The same happens every time i close and reopen my DAW.
Is there a solution for this?
