Leviasynth Unveiled: Ashun Sound Machines’ 16-Voice Hybrid

Meet the Leviasynth, Ashun Sound Machines’ new 16-voice algorithmic synthesizer unveiled at NAMM 2026. It marries a bold digital/analogue hybrid synthesis engine with deep algorithmic modulation. Musicians and designers will notice its scale immediately.

Under the hood, each voice runs eight oscillators and supports seven synthesis types. In addition, the engine offers over 140 configurable algorithms and two independent layers that can be stacked or split. Voices pair into true binaural stereo sets, which gives mixes remarkable width. Meanwhile, its Q-compensated four-pole low-pass analogue filter adds pre-drive saturation for analogue warmth. The digital filter complements this with 18 morphing models and drive for aggressive tone shaping.

Because the Leviasynth also includes 13 envelopes, five LFOs, a modulation matrix, and per-voice modulation offsets, sound design feels limitless. The full-colour touchscreen, arpeggiator with ratchet and entropy modes, and 128-step sequencer speed creative workflows. As a result, Leviasynth stands out in the electronic music scene by blending hands-on analogue feel with algorithmic digital complexity.

Leviasynth core engine and algorithms

The Leviasynth packs a 16-voice hybrid engine built for dense, evolving textures. Each voice runs eight oscillators and supports seven synthesis types, from virtual analogue to phase distortion. Because Ashun Sound Machines prioritized flexibility, the engine exposes over 140 configurable algorithms that morph timbres in real time.

Each oscillator can operate in multiple modes, and the engine supports phase modulation, linear frequency modulation, pulse width modulation, HTE sync, and three types of phase distortion. As a result, you can design anything from glassy pads to aggressive bass. Additionally, the digital side offers 18 morphing filter models with drive, while the analogue path uses a Q-compensated four-pole low-pass filter with pre-drive saturation for warm, harmonically rich tones.

Two independent layers let you craft complex, performance-ready patches. They stack to create massive, 32-oscillator textures or split across the keyboard for live performance. Key layer features include:

• Layer stacking: combine both layers to build huge, layered sounds and enormous harmonic density.
• Split mode: assign one layer to the lower range and the other to the upper range for instant splits.
• Independent routing: route filters, envelopes, and modulation separately per layer for hybrid tone sculpting.
• Per-voice modulation offsets: nudge parameters per voice for animated, unsteady textures.
• Binaural voice pairing: voices pair into true binaural stereo sets to produce wide, immersive stereo imaging.

Sound design benefits from 13 envelopes, five LFOs, and a flexible modulation matrix. Macro controls speed complex changes. The full-colour touchscreen makes algorithm selection and modulation mapping fast and tactile.

Leviasynth modulation matrix and sequencer

The Leviasynth delivers a modulation architecture built for expressive sound design and performance. It centers on a powerful modulation matrix and per-voice modulation offsets for animated timbres. With macro control, complex parameter changes become immediate and playable.

Key modulation elements

• Modulation matrix: flexible routing of many sources to many destinations, with visual mapping on the touchscreen for fast edits.
• Per-voice modulation offsets: apply unique offsets to each voice to create organic detune and moving textures across the stereo field.
• Macro control: map multiple destinations to a single macro for hands-on performance and dramatic parameter sweeps.
• 13 envelopes: multi-stage envelopes let you shape amplitude, filter, and modulation contours precisely and dynamically.
• Five LFOs: independent LFOs with selectable shapes and sync options for rhythmic and evolving modulation.
• Per-voice modulation routing: assign different modulation routings per layer or per voice for complex, layered motion.

Because these systems work together, modulation becomes inherently musical. As a result, patches breathe and evolve without constant manual tweaking. The touchscreen speeds mapping, and visual feedback shows modulation flow clearly.

Arpeggiator and sequencer features

• Arpeggiator: eight modes including ratchet, chance, and entropy for probabilistic and glitchy patterns.
• Performance-friendly controls: latch, swing, and pattern morphing enable interactive playing and live variation.
• 128-step sequencer: long-form sequencing with per-step values, probability, and drift options that introduce controlled instability for analogue warmth.
• Pattern stacking and chaining: build long sequences by chaining patterns and automating parameter changes across tracks.

The Leviasynth’s modulation ecosystem and sequencer push sound design toward the unpredictable and musical

Conclusion

Leviasynth condenses a 16 voice digital and analogue hybrid engine with eight oscillators per voice into a hands on instrument. It pairs deep algorithmic modulation with an analogue filter and eighteen digital filter models for extreme tonal flexibility. As a result, sound design moves from static patches to evolving, performance ready textures.

The modulation matrix, per voice offsets, thirteen envelopes and five LFOs let users sculpt detailed motion. Furthermore, the arpeggiator modes and 128 step sequencer add musical randomness and controlled drift for organic grooves. Because voices pair into binaural stereo sets, mixes gain impressive width and spatial depth.

For enthusiasts and professionals, Leviasynth offers both hands on control and deep algorithmic power. Therefore it should be on the shortlist for studios and live rigs seeking modern hybrid synthesis. Its full colour touchscreen and macro controls make complex modulation intuitive in the studio and on stage.
