ASM Leviasynth: The Most Ambitious Synth of 2026?

video upload by Starsky Carr

"So much more than a DX7 on steroids. In this hands-on walkthrough I program the Leviasynth from scratch to show what Ashun Sound Machines' 16-voice hybrid synth (the long-awaited Hydrasynth successor) can really do: 8 oscillators per voice, 144 algorithms, 7 modulation types, I even demo wavetable-style tones, deep DHDSR envelopes and that gorgeous new analog filter.

I'll show you how it sounds, how it's built and exactly how to start programming it — from a classic Prophet-5 patch to dirty FM basses, glassy vintage-digital pads and modular-style generative patches. By the end you'll understand the workflow and whether the Leviasynth deserves a place at the centre of your studio.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
🎹 ABOUT THE LEVIASYNTH
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The ASM Leviasynth is a 16-voice, 8-oscillator algorithmic hybrid synthesizer from Ashun Sound Machines — the team behind the Hydrasynth. It pairs an advanced digital engine (144 algorithms, 7 synthesis types, 300+ waveforms, FM, phase distortion, phase modulation, pulse-width modulation and sync) with a brand-new pure analog 4-pole resonant filter featuring custom pre-drive saturation. Add 13 envelopes, 5 LFOs, a deep mod matrix, a 3-track sequencer, arpeggiator, Polytouch polyphonic-aftertouch keybed and ribbon controller, and you have one of the most powerful synths released in years. Available in keyboard and desktop versions."

Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave — The COMPLETE Review (Every Feature Explored)

video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff

"The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is a 24-voice wavetable synthesizer with real analog filters, three oscillators per voice, and a 6-stage wave envelope that can independently sweep each oscillator through 64-position wavetables. It's built as a modern successor to the PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3, carrying the original PPG wavetables alongside 56 high-resolution modern wavetables, analog-modeled waveforms, and — as of OS 1.8 — a built-in sampler. In this review, I go through every major feature of the 3rd Wave in detail: the four oscillator types (PPG legacy, modern user wavetables, analog-modeled, and samples), the dual filter architecture (4-pole analog low-pass plus 2-pole zero-delay state-variable), all four envelopes, the four LFOs, the 16-slot modulation matrix, 11 built-in effects, the arpeggiator, the pattern-based sequencer with parameter automation, 4-part multitimbral layering and splits, the Wave Maker custom wavetable tool (including Serum wavetable import), unison with chord memory, MPE support, and more.

Whether you're considering buying one, comparing it to other hardware wavetable synths like the Waldorf Iridium, Modal Cobalt, or ASM Hydrasynth, or just curious what a modern PPG-inspired instrument sounds like in 2025/2026, this is the full picture. I cover every section of the signal chain with sound demos, explain what makes the wave envelope system unique, show how to build patches from scratch, and give my honest take on where the 3rd Wave excels and where it falls short. Timestamps for every section are below — jump to whatever interests you."

Unboxing and fun with the Leviasynth

I got a new Synth... (Unboxing and fun) video upload by The Creepy Silence

"Hello Guys

This video is a little bit special for me, because I will test the new Synth from ASM. As a big fan of the Hydrasynth I couldn't resist to get the new Leviasynth. Hope you will enjoy this video, when yes feel free to like, share and comment the video and also subcribe the channel. I must also apologize for the partially blurry camera image.

Thank you so much for the support!"

Why the Leviasynth Might Be the Last Synth You Ever Need

video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff

"The new ASM Leviasynth is finally arriving, and there are a lot of questions about what this powerful synthesizer can actually do. In this video I answer the most common questions from viewers and the synth community — covering balanced outputs, the analog filter, oscillator behavior, envelopes, signal path, keybed feel, firmware updates, and more.

You'll hear demonstrations showing low-end compensation with resonance, self-resonating analog filters, oscillator envelopes, FM modulation tricks, and even how to turn the Leviasynth into a massive drone machine. If you're considering buying the Leviasynth or want to understand how its architecture works, this deep dive Q&A will help you get the most out of it.

Whether you're a synth beginner, sound designer, or longtime Hydrasynth fan, this video explains how the Leviasynth works and what makes it one of the most powerful modern synths available.

Watch to learn how this instrument can go from classic analog-style sounds to complex evolving textures with ease."

Leviasynth subtractive synthesis Oscillator tips

video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"The Leviasynth Allows you to create a wide range of sounds from vintage sloppy subtractive synthesis to tightly bound FM sounds and everything in between. Here I show some tips on how to get the most out of the oscillator section's ability to have drift and movement when creating those vintage analog subtractive synthesis style sounds.
