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. All this paired with the onboard 3-track sequencer and powerfully flexible arpeggiator, Leviasynth takes you to the depths of synthesis like never before. From thundering bass to cutting leads, screaming organs to bombastic brass, warm keys to elevated ambience, Leviasynth surges forth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound Generation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an all-new 16-voice digital \/ analog hybrid synthesis engine, Leviasynth® takes a unique approach by providing 8 oscillators with over 300 waveforms available, as well as a range of unique synthesis types including Phase Modulation, Linear Frequency Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and three types of Phase Distortion. It is capable of 16 voices that can be split and layered in two parts and has the ability to combine voices into stereo binaural voices. The 8 oscillators and 7 synthesis types can then be arranged using one of over 140 preset algorithmic combinations. You can also craft your own custom algorithm and store it in the patch. If this didn't offer enough options, we also feature Algorithm morphing which lets you select 8 algorithms, place them in any order and modulate smoothly between them. This uniquely powerful sound generator is then fed into the powerful Hydrasynth digital filter section, which includes 18 digital filter models as well as morphing and digital drive. From there the sound is further sculpted by a custom analog variable pre-drive circuit for intense analog warmth, before passing into the pure analog, 4-pole resonant filter. This is hybrid synthesis like you have never heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSynthesis is all about movement of sound…and Leviasynth® moves like a serpent through water. It inspires creativity with a staggering 13 Envelopes, 5 LFOs, a 32-point modulation matrix, and a host of dedicated modulation routings for easy access. Leviasynth features 42 internal modulation sources and over 290 modulation destinations (not including MIDI CCs and external CV modulation). Each oscillator features its own dedicated 6-stage DAHDSR envelope, with looping, BPM-syncable stages, multiple trigger sources and quantizing. LFOs feature multiple waveshapes including sample and hold, noise, and a custom \"Step LFO\" mode that allows LFOs to double as independent step sequencers or custom waveshapes. Both Envelopes and LFOs feature fast and slow modes, enabling exceptionally wide timing of modulation rates. Our VoiceMod section allows for each voice to have its own offset which can be used as a modulation source. Additionally, 8 Macros per part, each with 8 individually assignable sources, are available for immediate control. ASM's patented Polytouch® pads have dedicated routings throughout the engine for immediately responsive modulation per note, as well as the ability to be assigned in the modulation matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoice and Effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Voice section Leviasynth® gives you control over quite a few parameters, which makes it possible to truly shape the character of the synth to your liking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage mode increases modulation depth while dropping modulator resolution for a more classic, glassy tone. Bit depth lets you take the synth from clean and classy to dirty and raw. Turning Snap off gives you the character of the Leviasynth's VCA, while enabling Snap gives you the sub-millisecond timing of a DCA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOSC Stereo mode pairs voices into binaural oscillator and filter sets, extending into the synthesis algorithms with independent panning for modulators, carriers, or both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalog Feel allows for subtle per-voice modulations at the twist of a knob, enabling a moving vibrancy of sound from clean and sharp to drifting and dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple Polyphony modes - including mono, unison, and polyphonic unison - with Voice Limiting, Unison Detune, and Panning Rotation modes, provide flexible stacking and performance options, while Glide and Glissando (distance and time modes) support expressive playing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeviasynth® features 4 effects processors per part that can be used at one time, featuring 18 digital effects ranging from modulation effects to distortions, delays, reverbs and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeviasynth is available in both keyboard and desktop\/rack\/VESA configurations. The desktop\/rack\/VESA version replaces the keyboard with 16 Polytouch®-enabled pads, providing an equally expressive alternative in a compact form factor. The 16 Polytouch® pads offer multiple pad modes such as step sequencer control, scale, and pad offsets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions include a full-color touchscreen for intuitive editing and clear visual feedback. For note and pattern generation, Leviasynth offers a versatile eight-mode arpeggiator with Ratchet, Chance, and Entropy Shuffle functions, alongside a three-track sequencer featuring Drift and Probability controls. The arpeggiator and sequencer can operate independently or interact with each other, supported by a dedicated performance control screen. Many parameters in the sequencer and arpeggiator can even be modulation destinations, allowing them to be manipulated in real-time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated hands-on control over both digital and analog filters, along with a unique capacitive-touch Envelope Bias control section, deliver immediate response and expressive, performance-focused shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leviasynth desktop features dedicated sequencer and arpeggiator touchscreen pages.
