Essential Information About the ASM Diosynth Wind Synthesizer
Essential Information About the ASM Diosynth Wind Synthesizer
- Highly "instrument-like" expressiveness thanks to breath and bite-on-mouthpiece sensors, a gyroscope, X/Y joystick, and pressure pads.
- The Hydrasynth sound engine enhanced with a sample playback oscillator for hybrid timbres, ranging from acoustic realism to modern synthesis textures.
- Designed for wind players: mechanical keys in sax style, multiple fingering modes, scale locking, and a playing range of over 8 octaves.
- Stage- and studio-ready connectivity: USB audio/MIDI, MIDI DIN, Bluetooth MIDI, Bluetooth Audio-In, stereo and headphone outputs, plus built-in speaker.

Heir to the Hydrasynth DNA, Designed for Wind Articulation
With the Diosynth, ASM translates the spirit of the Hydrasynth into a format truly suited to the phrasing of wind instruments. While a keyboard emphasizes finger attack, an aerophone centers on the air column, articulation, and continuous nuance. The Diosynth harnesses the power of Hydrasynth synthesis and adds a sample playback oscillator : an ideal combination to shift from organic behavior (response, grain, controlled instability) to more futuristic colors, all while maintaining a familiar playing feel for wind players.
For Which Musicians and Contexts?
The Diosynth is aimed at saxophonists, flutists, clarinetists, trumpeters, and more broadly any musician seeking breath expression while enjoying a very wide sonic palette. It suits both live use (responsiveness, dedicated controllers, splits/layers) and studio work (USB audio/MIDI, computer editing, MIDI integration). The scale and key locking functions are valuable for securing solos, working on intonation and improvisation, or playing complex lines without losing the musicality of phrasing.
Sound and Design
Sonically, the Diosynth excels at continuously shaping timbre: breath acts as true dynamics (from pianissimo to fortissimo), while the bite-on-mouthpiece sensor adds expressive variations (vibrato, edge, filter opening, brightness) without overloading the playing. Additional controllers (gyroscope, X/Y joystick, pressure pads) make transitions, tension builds, and effects very natural, especially effective on evolving textures or "hybrid" sounds blending samples and synthesis.
In terms of playability, the mechanical keys styled like a saxophone (rather than flat buttons) provide precise playing sensation with clear tactile feedback. Octave keys extend the range to over eight octaves, and multiple fingering modes facilitate adaptation to your habits. Whether you seek a punchy lead, cinematic pad, or more credible instrument imitation, the Diosynth aims for smooth sound production and playing consistency, serving the musical phrase.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Diosynth suitable for saxophone fingerings?
Saxophone-style mechanical keys and multiple fingering modes facilitate adaptation to wind players' playing habits. The octave keys extend the range over more than 8 octaves.
How do breath and mouthpiece control the sound?
The breath sensor controls dynamics from pianissimo to fortissimo. The mouthpiece clip can modulate vibrato, bite, filter opening, or brightness.
Is it possible to layer sounds on this aerophone?
The architecture allows for layering or splitting of 2 parts. Up to 4 Hydrasynth oscillators can be combined with 2 sample-based voices simultaneously. The 128 sampled sources notably include reeds, brass, percussion, and strings.
What USB and MIDI connectivity is available?
The USB connection provides audio and MIDI to a computer, while MIDI DIN In/Out ports enable integration into a hardware setup. Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio-In are also built-in.
What expressive controllers are integrated?
An internal gyroscope, an X/Y joystick, 2 pressure-sensitive pads, and 3 programmable buttons allow modification of playing parameters during performance.
