A generous factory library of more than 1600 presets of every kind is included. LUSH-101 lets you create presets for a single layer, for all 8 layers at once (including the mixer settings), and even allows for presets of standalone parameter blocks such as the arpeggiator and the mixer’s send effects, to be recalled on different patches. Of course, keyboard tracking can also be applied to the filter for a smooth, adjustable cutoff gradient across the keyboard range.

Pushing the resonance to maximum and turning all the oscillators down will produce a pure, pleasant sine wave as the filter is driven into self-oscillation, mirroring its hardware counterparts. Resonance is constant across the entire frequency domain, making the filter sound totally authentic, especially when controlled via the envelopes or an LFO. LUSH-101 was designed from the ground up to avoid this, resulting in a rich, exacting sound, even when using the simplest waveforms! Vibrato and pitch bend don’t compromise the spectral quality of the oscillators, allowing LUSH-101 to sound completely authentic even with the most challenging performances.Ī notable problem present in many virtual analog synths is that the harmonics of generated sound waves tend to disappear well below (and up to) the Nyquist frequency, causing them to lack clarity and punch. Innovative oscillator algorithms developed by D16 make LUSH-101 sound exactly like a sampled hardware analog synth-but without the sampling! There is no aliasing in the oscillators, even at 22kHz from the note’s base frequency. We deliver to you a synth built on oscillators of uncompromising quality, filters with an incredibly natural warmth and character, and best-in-class effects. LUSH-101’s suspiciously accurate sound is achieved only through experience: countless hours were spent analyzing classic analog synthesizers, and then designing and implementing DSP algorithms with close attention to every component in the signal path-not just approximating its overall output. For Ambient or Chillout, drag out the attack and release times along with our smooth, rich & spacious built-in reverb to satisfy even the most ardent purists.įilters modulated by the LFOs and envelopes in conjunction with Unison mode can lead your creativity with the nastiest leads, and base your sound in the most gnarly basses - you and your sound system will be pleasantly confused as to what hit it, so watch out! No matter what (or how) you want to play it, LUSH will get the sound. The Gate can be used instead of the VCA for instant staccato sounds for energetic Funk and rhythmic pockets. LUSH can sit in any seat at the genre table. Volume, Pan, and superb send effects allow you to put the finishing touches on the final output.

LUSH also comes complete with a powerful built-in mixer, complete with layer-independent parametric equalizers and compressors that can be rearranged. Even the Arpeggiator’s MIDI output can be used as a modulation source, allowing for complex sequences and refreshingly odd progressions. In addition to a very sophisticated MIDI-learn implementation, an advanced modulation matrix is built into each layer. With each layer working as an independent synthesizer with its own polyphony, parameters, enhanced arpeggiator, and a choice between 8 of the finest insert effects, LUSH-101 lets you reach unheard of creativity.

With all of these splits, layers, multitimbral options, and routing capabilities, there’s no end to what you can do with just a single instance of LUSH. Of course, you can always assign various layers to different MIDI channels for 8-part multitimbral usage, and send out up to 11 Audio Outputs. Multitimbral sounds can be quickly created by simply assigning any (or all) of the 8 layers to the same MIDI channel this can result in anything from subtle chorusing to sonic anarchy! Assigning the layers to different keyboard zones allows you to create sophisticated splits, and an entire split-zone preset library exists to get you started. The multilayer architecture guarantees that both the sound design possibilities and the number of unique situations in which LUSH-101 can be used are virtually limitless.

Don’t let its looks fool you: Though it may look benign at first, its modular, multilayer architecture takes it beyond simplistic poly-synths to the top shelf of extremely powerful, deeply programmable, yet devilishly versatile instruments in your arsenal. It's built from modules that can be found in many modern virtual synths, combined into one compact, logical layout.
