Diosynth is an all-new wind synthesizer that combines the familiar tactile feel of a woodwind instrument with an expressive and advanced synthesis engine.
At ASM, we design instruments that create a deep, expressive connection between artist and sound. With Diosynth, we advance this ideal to new levels. Playability comes first and foremost. We feature a familiar keywork that makes the transition from acoustic to electric easier than ever. Add to this a breath sensor that gives life to the sound, a mouthpiece with reed and bite sensor, an X/Y joystick for modulation effects, assignable pressure pads, switches, and a gyroscope for motion control. These physical controls integrate seamlessly with Diosynth’s advanced synthesis and sample engine—delivering the most intuitive and expressive wind instrument available.
Designed for Wind Players
Diosynth features an intuitive design that makes it easy to transition from traditional wind instruments like saxophone or clarinet. Every detail was crafted to feel familiar in your hands while opening new expressive possibilities.
Mouthpiece and Breath Control
The mouthpiece includes a responsive reed sensor for bite control - freely assignable to pitch bend, vibrato, or a variety of modulation destinations. It’s paired with a breath sensor that captures every nuance of your performance.
True Key Action
Diosynth uses a moving key action that is familiar to woodwind players—not flat sensors or push buttons. The keywork delivers the tactile feedback and articulation wind players expect. Multiple fingering modes are also available, including Sax, Flute, Recorder and Trumpet so you can play the way you already know
Performance Controls
On the back, we have added a number controls giving you easy access to key functions: four octave buttons can allow an 8+ octave playing range; three assignable push buttons, perfect for quick patch changes or parameter enables; an X/Y joystick giving you 4-way pitchbend and modulation controls, and two pressure-sensitive pads—all freely assignable for a wide range of control options.
Motion Expression
Taking expression even further, Diosynth includes a built-in gyroscopic positional sensor that tracks the instrument’s physical orientation as you play. Use motion as a performance tool, raise and lower Diosynth to change timbre, and bring your sound to life in entirely new ways.
