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.

"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.

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.

ASM Introduces Limited Edition Hydrasynth Explorer 888 in Orange

Press release follows:

ASM proudly presents production-limited orange ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) is proud to present ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ — ultimately available as a special edition of Hydrasynth Explorer dressed up in an eye-catching orange colour scheme synonymous with the music hardware brand itself and limited to a production run of 888 units worldwide, which will surely appeal to both numerology enthusiasts and synth collectors alike — at The Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo, October 5-6, Brooklyn, NY, USA and Machina Bristronica, October 12-13, Bristol, UK…

It is fair to say that the eye-catching orange colour scheme applied to ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ has been synonymous with ASM since day one. Such synonymity is being celebrated by ASM, applying that same colour scheme to the appropriately-named ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ as a special edition of Hydrasynth Explorer — effectively a compact-sized Hydrasynth featuring a 37-note mid-sized key-bed with proprietary ASM Polytouch® technology to provide responsive velocity and expressive polyphonic aftertouch features that are not found in other smaller-sized keyboards in a perfectly portable package (optionally) powered by eight (not included) AA batteries — limited to a production run of 888 units worldwide. Why 888 units? Ultimately answering that supposedly simple question yields some interesting information — in keeping with ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ yielding some interesting sounds — for not only is 888 a strobogrammatic number, meaning that the numerals used are rotationally symmetric so appear the same when read upside down, the number itself represents triple fortune in numerology! Needless to say, ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ will surely appeal to both numerology enthusiasts and synth collectors alike. And who knows? Owners of those production-limited ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ may one day be sitting on a small fortune!

Anyone attending The Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo, October 5-6, Brooklyn, NY, USA — a free-to-the- public pop-up event of synths and guitar effect pedals — and/or Machina Bristronica, October 12-13, Bristol, UK — a festival of knobs, buttons, and discussions — could have the good fortune of experiencing ASM showcasing ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ there for all to see and hear. However, anyone wishing to buy ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ — packaged with a limited-edition sticker sheet featuring related themes — will have to practice a little patience... rest assured, though, that they will be well worth waiting for.

Available at participating authorised ASM dealers in November 2024, ‘Hydrasynth Explorer 888 Units’ is priced at an MSRP of $799.00 USD ($649 USD MAP)/€859.00 EUR/£715.00 GBP.

Appropriately, each limited-edition model boasts a sparkling silver finish with a custom 5TH ANNIVERSARY SILVER EDITION print on the top panel, duly distinguishing them from the ‘standard’ Hydrasynth Keyboard — launched in 2019 to widespread critical acclaim as a digital wave morphing synthesizer featuring an ASM Polytouch® 49-note polyphonic aftertouch keybed and a user-assignable ribbon controller — and Hydrasynth Deluxe — itself offering a dual sound engine setup and the largest (73-note) ASM Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch keybed to date upon its introduction in 2021 — models that are still going strong today thanks to regular firmware updates; by that same token, Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition’s custom-made side panels prominently feature the HYDRASYNTH logo, while both synths ship with a Certificate of Authenticity showing the unit number — not forgetting, of course, the silver sticker that is included in both packages.

Applying a fine finishing touch to the celebratory proceedings, ASM has closely collaborated with a carefully chosen team of specialist sound designers, duly including an exclusive custom patch bank on both limited-edition models to further commemorate its fifth anniversary as a company that is passionate about using technology to create exciting products — products that definitely don’t come much more exciting than Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition!

Anyone attending SUPERBOOTH24, May 16-18, FEZ-Berlin, Germany is invited to swing by Booth H205 where ASM is introducing Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition, exhibiting them alongside their ‘standard’ synth siblings for all to see and hear. However, anyone wishing to buy a Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and/or Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition will have to practice a little patience — but rest assured they will be well worth the wait.

Expected to ship in June 2024, Hydrasynth Keyboard 5th Anniversary Silver Edition and Hydrasynth Deluxe 5th Anniversary Silver Edition will be available to purchase — priced at an MSRP of $1,649.00 USD ($1,449.00 USD MAP)/€2,049.00 EUR/£1,799.00 GBP and an MSRP of $2,149.00 USD ($1,949.00 USD MAP)/ €2,649.00 EUR/£2,299.00 GBP, respectively.
