Leviasynth from ASM is their next generation polysynth – its interface and effects resemble Hydrasynth in many ways, but the oscillator structure and workflow is totally different and new, it’s got 8 oscillators, 13 envelopes and an analog filter per voice, a new sequencer, and plenty of other updates throughout, it’s got 16 voices and is bi timbral
Like Hydrasynth, the keyboard version has a keybed with polyphonic aftertouch and a wide ribbon controller.
That said, Leviasynth isn’t a Hydrasynth MK2 – some features have been removed to make way for the new ones, so,rather, it’s just a different synth.
In this video, I’ll take an in-depth look at what makes it special, and pros and cons compared to the competition.
