The Leviasynth rises! Hydrasynth’s successor is finally here. Has ASM created one of the decade's best synths?

ASM Leviasynth.

NAMM 2026: It’s been long-rumoured (mildly leaked) and giddily anticipated for years, and today every sound design-minded synthesist's prayers were finally answered as Ashun Sound Machines’ Leviasynth finally washed ashore to dwarf its (brilliant, we might add) digital wavetable polysynth predecessor, the Hydrasynth in terms of size, breadth and creative potential.

With an eye-catching new teal colour scheme, Leviasynth is ASM’s all-new flagship hybrid algorithmic synthesizer, offering 16 voices with a whopping 8 oscillators per voice. Driving its rich sounds are an algorithmically-powered merger of analog and digital filters.

The Leviasynth takes the Hydrasynth aesthetic and attitude and looks like it's expanding on everything that was beloved about that latter-day legend.
