Makes the complex simple to understand.
After owning Hybrid for awhile and pretty using only the factory presets I decided to dive under the hood and find out what it can really do. This video series REALLY helped! Armed with a proper understanding of its inner workings one can get a lot of mileage out of Hybrid.

A must see for Hybrid owners.
With this course I really got to understand the potential of this synth and how well it is designed. The course also helps understand the basics of synths as well. I own Hybrid3 but all information was valid.

Amazingly useful!!
This is just one of the best tutorial series I've had so far. If you want to save time and energy on Hybrid, go for it! And although it's meant for Hybrid 1 and 2, it's also extremely useful for Hybrid 3.

If you don't want to get lost inside Hybrid, get this.
There are a few differences between Hybid 3 and the version on the tutorials (like a second filter) but you will get the basics and not-so-basics of using this wonderfully complex yet elegant synth.
