Yeah? Well youāre wrong.

January 2027. Theyāll substitute digital filters for the analog ones, and have 4 octaves of mini keys.
Not sure thereās room in the lineup for an LS Deluxe.
ADDED : Six weeks later and more informed, a changing perspective more fully understanding what the LS is. There is room at the top.

I hope they do an explorer version, mini keys but with a mini price!

16 oscillators per voice and 26 envelopes?
There might be a good oppurtunity to do the explorer with 4-6 ops and two digital filters for a sub 800 price.

I got this weird email. I canāt make heads or tails of it:
Summary
āThank you for using your ASM synth, it means more to us than you know! We continued to develop FM syntheis and soon to be developed sensor and laser technology has now allowed us to play the sun and other stars like oscillators. ASM no longer exists in the form you are familiar with but each and every one of your patches have hastened our galactic symphony. Thank you, Ancestor.ā

I prefer sound design, but I actually separate the processes to be more productive
Why donāt you want the ability to create your own unique sounds?
I donāt care that people have this opinion, but the vast majority of synths are extremely similar and extremely limited and basic, even the modern ones
I feel like we should be encouraging this direction rather than discouraging it
Iām very excited for this one. The M and Sq-80 are some of my all time favorites but I donāt need more wavetable synthesis
I also love the Opsix, and this seems to have an almost more advanced (in certain ways) custom algo/algo morphing fm engine
AND the phase distortion aspect really intrigues me. Thatās a ton of power
Iād choose complexity and power/versatility over limitations in a sound creation tool any time
If you want to make the same sounds as everyone else, you have plenty of options, pre bought presets, Juno 60 clones, subtractive synths, sample packs that someone else made
Whatās the point? This isnāt a rompler
Anyway, not trying to pick fights, i just imagine itās more productive to encourage innovation in synthesis. We have a new synth every week that doesnāt add anything new to the existing options. This is what companies should be doing
Id prefer to live in a timeline where we are pushing what hardware synthesizers are capable of in terms of both very complex unique sound design and musicality
Iām aware, but you said youād rather have the iridium. Not the $4000+ quantum
Which i never liked the sound of anyway. I actually doubt this will have A very special timbre like the M or the Ensoniq hybrids, not sure what makes that happen aside from low bitrate, asic bugs, weird old DACS, but Iām not a huge fan of the ASM sound
The Opsix and other modern Korg digital raspberry pi stuff does have some kind of magic in their va and fm though. I donāt know why, but I like their digital tone

Oh man, I hope so. Maybe a paraphonic analog filter though? Not sure if that would make sense
Yeah I love this. I think envelopes are what I focus on most when patching a synth. Dynamic movement being a primary concern typically. I really donāt like the eg response of the hydra envelopes. They seem sluggish or tough to shape? Too linear maybe. But hopefully these are more malleable
Visual feedback for dynamic modulation is a nice touch

is it even beta firmware?
Looks like an FM beast, would very much like to have a play on one. I suspect itāll be a bit pricey for me, but looks like a really interesting synth engine.

Big pass!* Two or three times as expensive as I was hoping for and they seem to have captured the same nasal insects as they had in the Hydrasynth engine**.
*Watch, Iāll have one in a couple of months.
**Watch, Iāll sell it, buy the desktop version, sell it and always wonder what I did wrong to make it sound so thin.

I am not for it, I am not against it, quite the contrary.

I would not get the Quantum, since I think the digital filters sound good enough. I currently have the Protein and Iām very pleased with the filters on that.
What Iām looking for is a compact two machine dawless setup with the Tonverk plus an all-round capable synth. I thought the Leviasynth could be a contender for this but it turns out not to be the case.
However, I do applaud it for itās new ideas in synth technology. Itās just that I question if the sounds it makes will be worth the learning curve. I wasnāt that impressed with the sounds in Loopopās review. But Iām sure some people will create wonders with it.

I darent watch! 
The morphing between algorithms is so cool. Iād never use 10% of the possibilities on offer here, but man I love the look it.
