ASM Diosynth Digital Wind Synthesiser

The ASM Diosynth is a cutting-edge wind synthesiser designed to provide wind players with an exceptionally expressive and immersive performance experience. Combining a deep synthesis engine with an advanced sample playback system, it delivers a remarkable fusion of acoustic authenticity and electronic versatility. Mechanical keys replicate the feel of traditional sax and wind instruments, offering a natural response that avoids the flat button controls found on many modern alternatives. With multiple fingering modes, scale and key locking, and octave controls spanning more than eight octaves, musicians can play with confidence and precision. Expression is elevated through breath and bite sensors, a responsive internal gyro, an X/Y joystick, pressure pads, and programmable switches. Diosynth arrives with an inspiring library of 384 patches and supports up to 768 patch locations, ranging from realistic orchestral and world instruments to bold synth leads, textured pads, and tempo-synced layers. Built on ASM’s renowned Hydrasynth architecture with an added sample oscillator, it invites limitless exploration for sound designers and performers alike. Extensive connectivity, Bluetooth audio and MIDI support, a built-in speaker, and optional battery power make Diosynth ideal for both studio work and mobile performance.

• Authentic Mechanical Key System:
  Designed for natural playability, offering the familiar feel and response of acoustic wind instruments for confident performance and expressive control.
• Hybrid Sound Engine:
  Combines Hydrasynth waveforms with a sample oscillator, enabling realistic acoustic timbres blended with sculpted electronic textures for versatile sound creation.
• Comprehensive Expression Controls:
  Breath and bite sensors, gyro movement, joystick control and pressure pads provide detailed expression suited to both subtle phrasing and dynamic performance.

Advanced Sound Architecture:

Diosynth’s hybrid engine allows musicians to build rich and complex tones by merging sampled acoustic instruments with Hydrasynth’s diverse waveform library. With 128 meticulously captured samples, players can explore everything from classic orchestral voices to rare and exotic instruments. The ability to layer or split two parts offers deep creative flexibility, combining multiple oscillators and sample voices simultaneously. A sixteen-mode filter and an extensive effects suite further refine each sound, ensuring every patch can be tailored with precision. Whether crafting traditional timbres or bold experimental tones, Diosynth provides expansive sound shaping tools for studio production and live performance.

Performance and Expression:

Every aspect of Diosynth is engineered to enhance expressive performance. The breath force sensor and reed bite sensor translate natural playing nuances into detailed musical responses, while the built-in gyro enables motion-controlled modulation for immersive, real-time control. The X/Y joystick, pressure pads and programmable switches offer additional layers of tactile expression, making the instrument highly adaptable to individual playing styles. Scale and key locking assist with confident navigation during complex passages, and the wide octave range supports both soaring leads and deep bass articulation. From subtle vibrato to dramatic shifts in tone, Diosynth provides nuanced control in every performance environment.

Connectivity and Portability:

Diosynth is designed to integrate seamlessly into both modern and traditional setups. With line output, headphone monitoring, MIDI DIN, USB MIDI and audio, and Bluetooth audio and MIDI, it supports a wide range of performance and recording workflows. Musicians can practise or perform through the built-in speaker or connect external devices for expanded sound options. Power is provided via the included USB-C adaptor or optional 18650 rechargeable batteries for portable use. The companion Mac, PC, iOS, and Android editors simplify patch creation and live configuration. A hard shell travel case and included accessories ensure the instrument is protected and ready for transport to rehearsals, gigs or studio sessions.
