Manufacturer's description
The Leviasynth Keyboard is a new hybrid algorithmic synthesizer from ASM. Offering 16 voices with 8 oscillators per voice and a combination of analog and digital filters, the Leviasynth is truly a sound designer's dream synthesizer.
The 61-note Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch keybed together with the 4-octave ribbon controller offers an unsurpassed playing experience, and the Leviasynth is also MPE-compatible. The multi-color touch screen and intuitive user interface make patch programming a breeze.
The oscillators can be arranged in groups known as algorithms, which define how they affect each other. There are 144 preset algorithms available, and one additional algorithm can also be customized per patch. In addition, algorithm morph offers a nearly unlimited number of configurations for the oscillators. There are over 300 waveforms available for each oscillator, and 7 independent oscillator modes for maximum timbral diversity.
The 3-track sequencer records both note and macro automation, and the arpeggiator features a new Entropy function for advanced realtime note manipulation. Single mode allows for all 16 voices to be active per patch, and Multi mode allocates the voices into two parts of 8 voices each, where layers or splits are easily set up.
The free ASM Patch Manager for Mac and PC enables easy firmware updating and patch management. 512 Single mode and 256 Multi mode patches are included in the factory presets, all created by world-class sound designers. A total of 1024 patch locations for Single mode and 640 patch locations for Multi mode are available.
Oscillator configurations include Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and three types of Phase Distortion. Each of the 8 oscillators has its own volume envelope, in addition to the shared 5 envelopes and 5 LFOs, all freely routable in the powerful 32-slot modulation matrix.
The digital Hydrasynth-style multimode filter and the analog low-pass filter, featuring both pre-drive saturation and self-oscillation, together with two insert effects and two master effects, make for near-infinite tone-shaping possibilities.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
