I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not, but is there a valid reason there's not much of a fuss made about ASM Hydrasynths?

They seem like insane value for money. Their 37-key Explorer is at a similar price point to a Boutique/Reface but with a pretty fully featured synth engine and poly-aftertouch. Is it just because it's Chinese and/or not a 'heritage' brand?

Yeah as BRP said the original made quite a splash. The Explorer is a cool cut price option.

It seems quite thin / digital sounding in lots of ways, but also quite raucous and fat in others. It's the interface that appeals to me, though I've never bit the bullet and bought one as I'm happy with my Monomachine and Peak.

If they added the ability to add custom waveforms and/or wavetables, I'd buy it this instant. I guess one downside is there's probably little in the way of physical retailers so having a good grasp on the difference in keys between the full size and Explorer is a bit tricky.
