Yes it is real and its out today - the much awaited new synth from Ashun Sound Machines the Leviasynth. Those familiar with the Hydrasynth will feel at home with the basic operations with a Polytouch poly aftertouch keybed, ribbon control and parameter access but with a snappy colour touchscreen, and more controls.
But the really big news is that it has 8 oscillators per voice - which for most inquisitive synthesists is likely to bring a smile to your face.
You also have 5 LFOs and 5 Envelopes (loopable) plus the FX (pre, delay, reverb, post) from the Hydrasynth.
Leviasynth has 8 oscillators per voice, which can be arranged in 144 FM-like algorithms with increasingly complex modulation/carrier relationship paths, plus a custom editable algorithm too..
Gone are the mutators, but in are the modulators which can be Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation, PWM, SYNC, PD Saw (phase distortion), PD Square and PD Saw Pulse.
Each oscillator also has a DADHSR (Delay, Attack, Decay, Hold, Sustain, Release) envelope on top of the five (per voice envelopes) T
These are all loopable as well.
Modulation points and curves are boggling.
