ASM Diosynth Wind Synthesizer
Ashun Sound Machines Diosynth is a highly expressive instrument that combines a deep synthesis engine with a sample playback engine, offering the best of acoustic and electronic sounds. Designed with wind players in mind, Diosynth features mechanical keys that replicate the feel of real sax and wind instruments – avoiding the flat, button-style controls found on other wind synths. Multiple fingering modes, scale/key locking, and octave keys covering over eight octaves provide a familiar and versatile playing experience.
For expression, Diosynth includes breath and bite sensors, an internal gyroscope, an X/Y joystick, two pressure pads and three programmable switches. Capable of storing 768 patches, Diosynth ships with 384 preset sounds covering everything from traditional wind instruments such as saxophones, trumpets and flutes to synth leads, basses and layered, tempo-synced synth textures.
The sound engine is based on ASM's renowned Hydrasynth with the addition of a new sample playback oscillator, giving Diosynth endless possibilities for sound creation and design. Users can blend realistic acoustic instruments – like a Harmon-muted trumpet or Peruvian bamboo flute – with Hydrasynth's wavescan oscillators and process them through the 16-mode filter to create rich hybrid tones.
ASM has meticulously sampled 128 unique reed, brass, fipple and string-based sounds. Rare and exotic instruments are also included, like the contrabass flute, Eb Tubax and Peruvian llama whistle. Having just one sound like this would be amazing enough but you can layer or split two distinct parts, combining up to four Hydrasynth oscillators and two sample-based voices simultaneously.
Diosynth has free editor/librarian software for macOS and Windows as well as an iOS/Android app to simplify patch editing and live performance use.
Diosynth features Bluetooth audio-in for playing along with music streams; users can listen via the built-in speaker or headphones. Diosynth is powered by the included USB-C adaptor or via two 18650 rechargeable batteries (sold separately). Each unit ships gig-ready in a hardshell case with all required cables and accessories.
