From Manufacturer
Offering the best of acoustic and electronic sounds, the ASM Diosynth is a versatile wind synthesizer crafted for saxophone players and other wind instrumentalists looking to expand their sonic palette. It stands out for its realistic breath control and highly expressive response, making it a perfect tool for musicians who want a natural, acoustic-like feel in a digital instrument.
Among its notable features, the DIOSynth offers a wide range of customizable sound patches, MIDI connectivity, and an intuitive interface that players can pick up quickly. It comes packaged with a rugged hardshell case, a mouthpiece sensor, a USB cable, and a set of starter sound banks to get you going right out of the box.
Multiple Fingering Modes and Scale Locking
The Diosynth supports a variety of fingering modes tailored to wind instrumentalists, making it easy to transition from traditional saxophone or flute fingerings to the synth. It also includes a scale and key locking feature, allowing you to lock into a chosen scale and avoid wrong notes, perfect for live performance confidence.
Extended Octave Range
With octave keys that span over eight octaves, the Diosynth offers an impressive range. This broad pitch range gives players the freedom to explore everything from deep bass lines to soaring leads without switching instruments.
Expression Controls: Breath and Bite Sensors
Designed with expression in mind, the Diosynth includes both breath and bite sensors. These sensors let you control dynamics and tonal character naturally, just like you would on an acoustic wind instrument, adding a lifelike feel to your performance.
Gyro, Joystick, Pressure Pads, and Programmable Switches
In addition to the gyro and X/Y joystick, the Diosynth features two pressure pads and three programmable switches. This suite of controls lets you customize your playing style, trigger effects, and navigate settings on the fly, offering a truly hands-on experience.
Expandable Patch Library
While the Diosynth ships with 384 patches, it supports up to 768 patches in total. These patches cover a wide range of sounds, from realistic saxophones and trumpets to flutes, lead synths, basses, and layered textures. It's a versatile sound palette that adapts to any genre.
Hydrasynth Sound Engine and WaveScan Oscillators
- At the heart of the Diosynth is the Hydrasynth sound engine, renowned for its flexible WaveScan oscillators. This engine allows you to craft everything from acoustic instrument emulations—like a Harmon-muted trumpet or a Peruvian bamboo flute—to futuristic synth textures. The WaveScan oscillators provide deep modulation capabilities for endless sonic possibilities.
- The Diosynth also includes a 16-mode filter that lets you fine-tune and sculpt your sound. Whether you’re looking for a smooth low-pass filter or a resonant high-pass effect, the multiple filter modes offer precise control to shape your tone exactly how you want it.
Layering and Splits
Layer and split two distinct sound patches across the keyboard or playing range, allowing you to perform with a lush pad on one end and a punchy lead on the other, or blend brass and woodwind tones seamlessly. This layering and splitting capability opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing you to craft rich, complex performances that combine multiple timbres in real time.
Built-In Speakers and Power Options
For on-the-go practice or intimate performances, the instrument includes built-in speakers, so you can play without needing extra gear. It can be powered via a USB-C adapter or by two rechargeable batteries (not included), giving you the flexibility to play anywhere.
Cross-Platform Editors for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android
To make sound editing even easier, the Diosynth comes with a dedicated editor app available for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android devices. This cross-platform editor allows you to tweak patches, manage settings, and organize your sounds with ease, no matter what device you're using.
