Leviasynth Synthesis tips Wave transforming
video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit
"Fluxwithit is back finally and starting with the release of Leviasynth! a new 16 voice 8 oscillator digital / analog hybrid synth from ASM. Ashun Sound Machines has been hard at work for years on this synth and I am so proud to have been a part of this project. To give back to the community I am doing my part in creating a bunch of quirky tips and deep dives into what makes this synth so unique.
So join me while I share some tips and be sure to check out Fluxwithit.com as I intend to be uploading a lot of new content very soon! also if you would like to support my channel, be sure to visit Shop.Fluxwithit.com where I have both free and paid sound packs , presets, samples, and all sorts of goodies.

Diverse moods of Leviasynth / by Jexus.
video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)
"In 2025 Ashun Sound Machines contacted me and asked if I would like to create a set of unique presets for their upcoming synth. No details were disclosed about the instrument but, as you can imagine, I was curious. I agreed and several weeks later a monster 8-oscillator synth arrived at my doorstep. Today all of you can see it and hear it in action - the LEVIASYNTH is ready! Here's a quick video with some factory presets I created on the new Leviasynth. In this demo I kept the internal reverb low and did a fair amount of tweaking to give you a better idea of the timbre / behavior of the synth.
cheers;

ASM Leviasynth Gainstaging and Saturation
video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit
"This is a dive into how the gainstaging in Leviasynth® synthesizer effects saturation throughout the synth. There is a massive dynamic range in the unit so it can be an interesting area to explore and better understand when creating your sounds. Here I explore both the analog and digital saturation that occurs within the synth using level, oscillator combinations and the Digital Drive and Analog Predrive."

ASM Leviasynth | Sounds and Key Features | Synth Universe
video upload by Synth Universe
"A musical exploration of Leviasynth, Ashun Sound Machines’ successor to the Hydrasynth. Leviasynth is an 8 oscillator algorithmic synthesizer with analog and digital filters and five types of synthesis.
All the sounds featured in this video were created by me and are included in the Leviasynth factory presets (except Synfluctuate and PD keys which may be released by ASM as part of future banks). If you own or try out a Leviasynth, you can browse patches by sound designer and select Synth Universe to find all my sounds. Here I have often emphasized sounds that make use of the analog filter, showing the ability of Leviasynth to emulate analog synths, as this is one of the first things I want to know when assessing a hybrid synth. I also feature patches that highlight the other types of synthesis including FM and phase distortion.
This is a deep and powerful ‘monster’ of a synth and so far I have really only scratched the surface of its capabilities. There are too many features to list here so go to Ashun Sound Machines website to find out more.
Disclaimer: ASM sent me a pre-production unit for the purposes of sound design, but otherwise they had no input into the making of this video or the opinions expressed within.
No external enhancement or processing was applied to the sounds in this video: you are hearing them as output directly from the synth.
Note: Leviasynth does have a powerful arpeggiator and sequencer, but as they were still being finalized during the time I created these patches they are not featured in this video."

ASM LEVIASYNTH Review // Keyboard vs Desktop vs Hydrasynth
video upload by loopop
Details:




From the darkest recesses of the unexplored oceans comes ASM's most powerful creation yet—a hybrid algorithmic synthesizer with sixteen-voice polyphony, eight oscillators per-voice, and a truly absurd amount of sound design potential. There are over 300 waveforms available for each voice's eight oscillator slots, giving you access to a bonafide sandbox of sonic alchemy. Each voice's oscillators can be arranged and rearranged for versatile modulation schemes using the many available algorithms. This open-ended method of crafting timbres gives you nearly-unlimited possibilities for sculpting sounds ranging from familiar tones to completely alien timbres. In addition to the ability to create your own algorithm, the Leviasynth also comes with 144 preset algorithms for quick sparks of inspiration, and the ability to morph between these oscillators non-linearly.
The oscillators can be modulated in a multitude of ways to create even more timbral variation: Frequency Modulation, Phase Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and Phase Distortion can all be applied to Leviasynth's oscillators for nearly-endless sound design potential. These, along with nearly every other parameter, can be affected using the internal 32-slot modulation matrix. Each of the eight oscillators includes its own volume envelope, along with five additional shared envelopes and five LFOs per-voice for creating a moving sonic texture within the canvas of the expansive modulation matrix.
The Leviasynth is one of ASM's most expressive synthesizers to date, offering a 61-key keybed with full polyphonic aftertouch, MPE compatibility, and a four-octave ribbon controller for even deeper playability. Record and playback more than just audio with the internal three-track sequencer, allowing you to record note, arpeggio, and macro automation data. Control a plethora of parameters across the synth with the eight individual macro controls, which provide a deep level of expressivity given the broad timbral potential of Leviasynth's multi-algorithm design. Expand this expressiveness into your Eurorack systems with the 3.5mm CV I/O, providing two assignable Mod inputs, as well as outputs for Pitch, Gate, Clock, and two assignable Mod outputs.
Leviasynth offers both analog and digital filters for sculpting multi-layered timbres. On the analog side, you get a buttery-smooth four-pole low pass, which provides the foundation for beautiful, intimate sounding patches. On the digital-end of the spectrum there is a complex, Hydrasynth-style multimode filter with eighteen different filter types. All of these filters can self-oscillate at high resonance settings, along with pre-drive saturation for helping your patches cut through any mix. The effects section offers two independent methods for applying that extra layer of polish to your sound. In the master effects, you can shape and transform your final sound with Delay, Reverb, Distortion, Rotary, Phaser, Chorus, Compression, EQ and more. The second method provides dedicated insert effects, which offer five flavors of Delay and four Reverbs for giving your sounds that ever-important sense of space. This two-layered approach to effects gives the Leviasynth a sound all its own, and when used in tandem with the aforementioned suite of timbral shaping engines, your imagination is the only limit. Like the vast unexplored waters of the deepest oceans, the ASM Leviasynth holds an immense amount of undiscovered potential underneath its dormant surface.

New ASM LEVIASYNTH Keyboard & Desktop Synths Incoming?
This one is in via an anonymous reader.
Some text from the screen grab left:
"ASHUN SOUND MACHINES LEVIASYNTH DESKTOP
From the depths of the sonic seas a new monster rears its head: Leviasynth®.
Leviasynth® is a 16-voice, 8-oscillator algorithmic synthesizer with analog filters.
From the beginning ASM has strived to create synthesizers that challenge the status quo.
Leviasynth® continues this tradition, elevating both studio and stage with a solid steel chassis, enhanced Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch pads, and an all-new hybrid digital / analog synthesis engine. Leviasynth is an unflinching masterpiece of sonic potential. The 8 oscillators, 13 envelopes, 5 LFOs, 18 digital filter modes, and 4-pole analog low pass filters inspire creativity and live performances.
Flexibility abounds, with two layers of synthesis that can be stacked or split, the ability to pair voices into binaural stereo mode with independent modulation of carrier and modulator signals, as well as various voice allocation modes..."
