The brand is best known for the Hydrasynth, a digital wave-morphing polyphonic synthesizer that introduced polyphonic aftertouch at a comparatively accessible price point. The Hydrasynth line has expanded into multiple formats — 37-key Explorer, 49-key, 73-key Deluxe, Desktop, and rack variants — and extended into the 16-voice Leviasynth, a hybrid digital/analog instrument built around an algorithmic engine with eight oscillators per voice across multiple synthesis types.

ASM's reputation centers on dense feature sets, expressive control surfaces, and deep modulation architectures aimed at sound designers, studio musicians, and performing keyboard players.

ASM has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Synthesizers. Their gear is featured by 26 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Pop. Notable users include Andrew Huang, Charlie Puth, and Deadmau5.
