Your ears lust for the sacred and the profane; Asura, our first standalone synthesizer, satisfies the desire for both.
In Indian and other Asian mythologies, Asuras are depicted as celestial beings of immense power; sometimes benevolent, sometimes evil, and in opposition to the Gods.
Our synth distills these values into its sonic soma. It models itself after no known synth, and does not wish to. With a six-voice polyphonic wavetable architecture, an inbuilt delay and a signature Animal Factory analog fuzz circuit, it creates soundscapes that range from ethereal lushness to visceral devastation.
- 6 voices, 2 wavetable oscillators per voice, plus 2-operator FM
- Modulation: 2 LFOs, 2 envelopes and pressure, all freely assignable
- Built-in delay and Animal Factory's analog fuzz circuit
- 8-step sequencer with parameter locks
- Voice modes: 6-voice poly, 3-voice poly, unison, chord and arpeggiator
- 25 onboard presets; web editor for presets, custom wavetables, mod matrix and firmware updates
- Full parameter control over MIDI (TRS) and USB-C
- Isolated USB-C for DAW connection
- Headphone amp drives up to 300Ω headphones
- Gate, V/Oct, Clock In/Out and 2 additional CV inputs
Asura is born of a collaboration between AFA and Sanjay Das spanning over more than five years. We're proud to finally give the world the first original synth from India.
