I was asked how Iridium compares to Hydrasynth. Here are some pros and cons:

Hydrasynth pros:
- Less expensive
- Velocity and pressure sensitive pads (desktop) poly aftertouch and ribbon (keyboard version)
- More filter and reverb models
- Different wave mutators vs digiformer
- Macro mode for the knobs
- More flexible arpeggiator
- Desktop version is smaller and lighter, and comes with rack ears

Hydrasynth cons:
Monotimbral, 8 voices vs Bi-timbral and 16 voices on Iridium
No resonator engine
No custom wavetables
Shorter wavetables (8 vs 128 waveforms in a table)
No sampler/granular playback engine
No engine like the kernel engines
Mono filters as opposed to stereo filters in Iridium
No proper sequencer vs two sequencers on Iridium
