Bonedo Synthesizers Unleash the ASM DioSynth: Wind Synthesis with Bite

ASM’s DioSynth doesn’t mess about—it’s got a synthesis engine ripped straight from the HydroSynth playbook, but with a twist. Two synthesis oscillators get cosy with a sample-based oscillator, letting you blend, split, and layer until your neighbours complain. Want pure synth? Sorted. Want sampled saxes and weirdness? Easy. Or just mash it all together for a four-oscillator monster that’s more rave bunker than jazz lounge.

Bonedo Synthesizers keep it clinical: the DioSynth’s engine is all about flexibility. You can build up big, complex patches or stick to simple, classic tones. The video doesn’t waste time on endless parameter dives—just enough to show you this thing can handle anything from Brecker-style leads to mutant basses. If you want to hear the real power, you’ll need to catch the audio in the demo, because words just don’t do it justice.

If you play wind instruments, the DioSynth is a breath of fresh air. The controls are laid out so you’re not stuck menu-diving just to change a level—physical knobs and a clear LCD keep things moving fast. Octave buttons are set up for sax players, so you can get comfortable within an hour and be flying across the range in a week. No more wrestling with awkward layouts or cryptic button combos.

Bonedo’s demo makes it clear: this isn’t just another plastic toy. The DioSynth is built for real musicians who want to practice, perform, and actually enjoy the process. You get a two-and-a-half octave range that feels familiar, and the learning curve is more gentle slope than vertical wall. It’s accessible, but not dumbed down.

Live players, rejoice: the DioSynth is loaded with assignable buttons, a chunky X-Y joystick, and pressure pads that can be mapped to whatever tricks you fancy. Want to step through your setlist without breaking your flow? Assign the buttons to patch changes and keep your hands where the action is. The joystick isn’t just for pitch bends—you can route it to all sorts of sonic mayhem, from growls to detuned choruses.

Multiple built-in effects mean you don’t need a pedalboard the size of a small car. Bonedo’s walkthrough shows off pitch bends, vibrato (mouth or joystick—take your pick), and even a bite sensor for those who want to get physical. The DioSynth is clearly designed for the stage, not just the studio. If you want to see how wild things can get, the video’s sound examples are where the chaos lives.

The DioSynth isn’t just a performance beast—it’s a killer practice tool too. Bluetooth audio in means you can stream your favourite tracks straight to the synth, plug in your headphones, and jam along without waking the neighbours. No more dodgy aux cables or clunky adapters—just pure, wireless play-along bliss.

Bonedo Synthesizers highlight how this feature makes the DioSynth perfect for couch sessions or late-night woodshedding. It’s not just about soloing over Spotify; the physical keys and familiar feel mean your practice actually translates to your real horn. If you’re serious about improving, this is the kind of tool that makes it fun again.
