Play with natural woodwind feel
Diosynth has been shaped around the needs of wind players who want a smooth jump into electronic performance. You hold it like a familiar acoustic instrument and the moving key action responds in the way your hands expect.
Fingering modes for sax flute recorder and trumpet let you keep using approaches you already know which speeds up learning and helps you stay creative. Breath and bite sensors respond to tiny changes in pressure so your phrasing keeps its nuance. When you start to explore the modulation options you will notice how naturally your existing technique translates into bold sound shaping.
Shape sound with a powerful hybrid engine
You can build detailed patches using two Hydrasynth Wavescan oscillators noise shaping and a full sample map section. Multi sampled instruments form a strong acoustic foundation while attack breaths and key off elements add a sense of realism that reacts to your playing.
If you enjoy sculpting tones the Hydrasynth filter with sixteen modes and variable drive lets you add warmth or edge. The growl processor can create subtle texture or striking inharmonic colour. Add in four band EQ and forty part insert effects and you have a flexible set of tools that supports detailed sound design from soft pads to bright leads.
Use expressive controls to bring ideas to life
You have quick access to four octave keys three assignable buttons an XY joystick and two pressure pads. Each control can be routed to a wide range of parameters so you can shape timbre or movement during a performance without breaking your flow.
The joystick sits under your thumb for pitch bends or modulation sweeps and can also be mapped within the modulation matrix for creative effects. Pressure pads can act as continuous controllers or momentary switches which helps when you want quick changes during a live set. The built in gyro reacts to how you lift or tilt the instrument giving you another path to evolving tone.

Diosynth Manager - advanced control with full patch editing and more
ASM has introduced Diosynth Manager, a free Mac and PC software update designed to unlock far deeper control over the Diosynth and make day to day management far more intuitive. The application moves patch organisation, editing, and system configuration into a clear computer based environment, helping both new and experienced users get more from the instrument with less menu diving.
Users can manage patches on their computer and the Diosynth itself, quickly transferring sounds via drag and drop and building custom banks that can be renamed, sorted, and organised by number, name, or category. Deep editing is also a major focus, with full control over both sound parts presented in a logical synth style layout that clearly shows signal flow.
Patch wide parameters such as levels, panning, pitch, glide, effects, and modulation can be adjusted from a single central view, while detailed hardware setup options cover breath and bite control, MIDI behaviour, and global or per patch settings. Diosynth Manager also handles USB and Bluetooth audio level configuration and includes an integrated firmware updater, making it a complete hub for setup, sound design, and ongoing system maintenance.
