The brilliance of the Hydrasynth is not just the sound, but how well organized it is. It is a dream to program due to the signal path button matrix, and the OLED displays for the parameter knobs. Tap an OSC module, and all your params are there, nicely labeled. Same for an ENV, or Filter, or LFO. This saves tons of menu diving. There are shortcuts for quickly assigning modulations thanks to those module buttons, that again would otherwise require a lot of menu diving. Oh, and the Deluxe adds release velocity, something the original didn't have.
