The Hydra

Response from bdHandler from bdEnergy on July 15th, 2026

Hey! Thanks heads-up. You were spot on—it definitely wasn't user error! The previous installer was indeed faulty under macOS Sequoia's strict security.

I have just uploaded v1.0.1, which completely resolves this. It is now fully signed and notarized by Apple, so it will install cleanly without any Terminal bypasses.

Quick tip: If your DAW cached the previous failed scan, just force a rescan of The Hydra in your plugin manager to get it to show up.

Thanks again for helping me catch this, and I hope the synth is worth the second look whenever you get a chance to try it.
