ASHUN SOUND MACHINES LSDR Leviasynth | Compact Hybrid Algorhythmic Desktop Synthesizer

Leviasynth Desktop

16-Voice Analog/Digital Hybrid Synthesizer

The Leviasynth Desktop, is a new hybrid algorithmic synthesizer offering 16 voices, with 8 oscillators per voice, a combination of analog and digital filters,  offering an unsurpassed playing experience. The Leviasynth is also MPE compatible.

Patch programming is a breeze, thanks to the multicolor touchscreen and intuitive user interface. The oscillators can be arranged in groups known as algorithms, which define how they affect each other. And with 144 preset algorithms plus one additional algorithm that can be customized per patch, you'll never run out of ideas in your sonic explorations. Additionally, the algorithm morph function offers a nearly unlimited number of configurations for the oscillators. There are over 300 waveforms available for each oscillator and 7 independent oscillator modes for maximum timbral diversity. The 3-track sequencer records both note and macro automation, and the arpeggiator features a new Entropy function for advanced real-time note manipulation. The free ASM Patch Manager for Mac and Windows enables easy firmware updating and patch management.
