Ashun Sound Machines has introduced the Diosynth, a wind synthesizer that merges the Hydrasynth engine with a new sample playback oscillator capable of blending acoustic instruments with wavescan oscillators through a 16-mode filter. The company recorded 128 sounds spanning reed, brass, fipple and string instruments, including rare options like the contrabass flute and Peruvian llama whistle. Factory content includes 384 patches with 768 total storage slots covering traditional wind tones alongside electronic textures.
The instrument features mechanical keys designed to replicate acoustic playing feel, multiple fingering modes, scale locking and octave controls spanning eight octaves. Expression options include breath and bite sensors, an internal gyrometer, X-Y joystick, pressure pads and programmable switches. Connectivity includes TRS and USB audio outputs plus a headphone jack with dedicated volume controls, while MIDI operates via USB, five-pin DIN and Bluetooth. The Diosynth ships in December for $1,249 excluding VAT or €1,449 with hard-shell case, cables and stand.
