Discover the potential of Lusus and let your creativity flourish.
The heart of sound: Lusus architecture
Lusus is a carefully crafted instrument that offers an impressive 16 voices of polyphony. This polyphony is more than enough to create lush, layered pads that fill the soundscape, as well as complex, rhythmically rich arpeggios, cut-through leads, or deep bass lines. Its unique architecture skillfully combines the time-honored advantages of traditional analog synthesis with the flexibility and creativity of modern digital technology.
Key Features:
-
4 Oscillators per Voice: Each of the 16 Lusus voices is equipped with a section of four oscillators. Two of them mimic classic analog synthesizer waveforms, providing a warm and vibrant tone. The other two are digital, allowing you to “draw” a waveform in the built-in editor. This opens up endless possibilities for creating unique tones.
-
Multi-Mode Filter: A flexible resonant filter with five high-quality modes: Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Notch, and Peak. Provides full control over the frequency spectrum of the sound, allowing you to shape it from soft to aggressively sharp.
-
Envelope and LFO generators: Two ADSR envelope generators and one low-frequency oscillator (LFO) to add dynamic movement and modulation to make your sounds stand out.
-
Visual Control: The built-in oscilloscope allows you to observe the waveform of the output signal in real time. A useful resource for learning and understanding the effect of parameters on sound.
Effects section.
No modern synthesizer can be considered complete without a high-quality built-in effects section. Lusus offers a powerful set of digital treatments that perfectly complement its synthesized sound, adding professional shine and unique character.
Built-in Effects Kit:
-
OuraDrive: The signature overdrive effect from Ourafilms, known for its warm, rich and musical character. Adds pleasant compression, harmonic coloration, and the desired “fatness” and “warmth” to the sound. Also available as a separate VST plugin.
-
Chorus: A classic chorus effect that effectively expands the stereo base and adds depth, richness, and volume to the sound. Creates the effect of several identical sound sources playing simultaneously.
-
Delay: A standard delay effect that lets you create rhythmic echoes, repeats, or atmospheric spatial effects.
Of particular note is the synergy between the Multi-Mode Filter, OuraDrive, and Chorus, a combination that is key to Lusus’ signature fat and warm sound signature.
Integration and ease of use
Lusus fully supports automation of all its parameters, making it easy to integrate into your creative session in any compatible digital audio workstation (DAW). You can record parameter changes in real time or draw automation curves. In addition, to get you started quickly and demonstrate the possibilities, Lusus comes with a set of 32 professionally designed presets.
