ASM Leviasynth Desktop

ASM Leviasynth Desktop – algorithmic hybrid synth with analog character
ASM Leviasynth® is an advanced 16-voice algorithmic synthesizer with a hybrid digital/analog signal path, developed for deep sound design in both studio and live contexts. The desktop version replaces the keyboard with 16 Polytouch® pads and delivers the same powerful engine in a compact format.

Sound engine and synthesis architecture
Leviasynth is based on a completely new hybrid engine with eight oscillators per voice and over 300 waveforms. Seven synthesis types – including Phase Modulation, Linear FM, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and three variants of Phase Distortion – are organized via over 140 algorithms or user-defined structures. Algorithm morphing allows for seamless modulation between multiple algorithms in real time.

After digital filtering, the sound is further shaped by an analog preamp and a true analog 4-pole low-pass filter, providing a clear combination of precision and warmth.

Filters, modulation, and voice dynamics
The digital filter section offers 18 filter models, including morphing filters and vocal filters. The modulation system includes 13 DAHDSR envelopes, 5 LFOs, and an extensive modulation matrix with a large number of sources and destinations.

Each oscillator has its own envelope and voice modulation, and voices can be paired in binaural stereo mode with separate modulation for carrier and modulator. Features such as Vintage mode, Analog Feel, and bit depth control allow you to shape everything from clean to heavily colored sounds.

Performance, sequencing, and effects
Leviasynth Desktop is equipped with 16 Polytouch® pads with polyphonic aftertouch and multiple pad modes for scales, sequencing, and performance control. A color touchscreen provides quick access to editing, filters, envelopes, and effects.

The built-in arpeggiator offers eight modes with features such as Ratchet, Probability, and Entropy, while the three-channel sequencer handles two note tracks and a macro automation track. Four simultaneous effect processors per part provide access to modulation effects, distortions, delays, and reverb.

Connections and patch management
Leviasynth has extensive connections via MIDI DIN and USB, balanced audio outputs, headphone output, and CV/Gate with both modulation inputs and outputs. The ASM Manager software is used for patch management, backup, and system updates.

FAQ
What sets Leviasynth apart from other synths?
Leviasynth combines algorithmic digital synthesis with genuine analog filters and offers advanced algorithm morphing and binaural stereo.

Is Leviasynth analog or digital?
It has a hybrid signal path with digital sound generation and analog filtering.

Can Leviasynth be used without a keyboard?
Yes, the desktop version uses Polytouch® pads with polyphonic aftertouch instead of a keyboard.

Is Leviasynth suitable for live use?
Yes, with a robust metal chassis, extensive modulation and performance controls, it is designed for stage use.
