Lektro – Phase Distortion Synthesizer by Xenobioz
Welcome to the world of extraordinary sounds with Lektro, a powerful virtual instrument from the developer Xenobioz. Lektro is not just another synthesizer; it’s a true beast in the world of Phase Distortion Synthesis, allowing you to create unique, dynamic, and deeply modulated timbres. Immerse yourself in the depths of sound design with a tool that offers exceptional control over every facet of your sound.
Key Features and Capabilities of Lektro
Lektro is designed for experimentation and providing maximum flexibility in sound shaping. At the heart of its architecture are two phase distortion oscillators, which are the core of its unique sound. But the real magic begins thanks to an extremely flexible modulation system that allows you to bring static timbres to life and transform them into evolving soundscapes.
- Two Phase Distortion Oscillators: The foundation for creating rich and complex harmonics, typical for this type of synthesis.
- Waveshaper: Add even more harmonic complexity and non-linear distortion to your sounds.
- Three LFOs: Low-frequency oscillators for cyclical modulation. One of them can work as a sub-oscillator, adding a low-frequency base.
- LFO Waveform Shaper: The ability to change the waveforms of the LFOs themselves for even more non-standard modulation.
- Randomizer: Add an element of unpredictability and organicness to your sound through random modulation.
- Two ADSR Envelopes: Control the dynamics of volume, filter, or other parameters with two independent “Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release” envelope generators.
- Tone Controller: An additional tool for quick timbre correction.
- Filter with 13 Modes: An extremely versatile filter with a large number of modes (from classic Low Pass to more exotic ones), allowing you to radically change the character of the sound.
- Built-in Delay: Add space and echo to your sounds directly inside the plugin.
One of Lektro’s strongest points is its modulation system. Most of the synthesizer’s parameters can be modulated by any of the LFOs, ADSRs, or the Randomizer. Usually, one parameter can receive modulation from two LFOs/Randomizers and one ADSR simultaneously, with each modulation source having its own separate slider for precise intensity adjustment. LFOs and the Randomizer can be connected in parallel or series, opening up endless possibilities for creating complex, interconnected movements in sound.
Sound and Applications
Due to its phase distortion architecture and deep modulation system, Lektro is capable of generating an extremely wide range of sounds. From sharp, metallic timbres and digital noises to warm, pulsating pads and complex, moving textures. This makes it an excellent choice for electronic music of various genres, ambient, sound design, and any direction where extraordinary and evolving sounds are needed. The 13 filter modes and the built-in delay further expand its palette, allowing you to shape the sound from subtle changes to radical transformations. If you’re looking for a synthesizer that goes beyond the ordinary and stimulates experimentation, Lektro is definitely worth your attention.
Discover the potential of phase distortion and create sounds that will make your music stand out. Lektro provides all the necessary tools for this in an intuitive interface.
