In his latest loopop video, host Ziv Eliraz takes an in-depth look at the new ASM Leviasynth, a 16-voice hybrid digital/analog synthesizer from the creators of the Hydrasynth.

“Its interface and effects resemble Hydrasynth in many ways, but the oscillator structure and workflow is totally different and new,” he notes. “It’s got 8 oscillators, 13 envelopes and an analog filter per voice, a new sequencer, and plenty of other updates throughout.”

As ever, Eliraz offers an overview, plenty of audio demos and his thoughts on the pros and cons.
