A polysynth by Lost Synapse · a one-person studio
A synth for sound designers who'd rather not learn another ecosystem. Four engines under one signal path, and one button to roll the dice when inspiration is late.

What's inside
Wavetable, FM, classic analog (saw, square, triangle, sine, pulse), and fractal oscillators (Mandelbrot, Julia, Burning Ship, Tricorn, Multibrot, Newton), paired across two oscillator slots with full per-voice routing. Switch engines without losing your patch.
Six envelopes, four LFOs with editable shapes, and a macro layer that combines sources before they reach a destination. Curves, not just knobs.
Pre-filter drive (Tube, Tape, Diode, Fold), a series HP for carving the low end, and a Lost Synapse character pack tuned to taste. The filter is now an instrument of its own.
Chorus, delay, distortion, phaser, flanger, and twelve more. Tasteful by default, generous when you ask. The DICE button rolls a curated rack alongside the patch, so a sketch is one click away.
Drop your own impulse responses. Embed them in the preset. Take them with you. No third-party engine to license.
Browse, edit, and audition wavetables in a real-time 3D view. Find the frame you actually want, not the closest octave to it.
Buy it once. No subscription, no telemetry, no cloud. The license verifies offline, so Laura runs fine on an air-gapped machine. Your saves are your saves.
Wavetable editor
Draw frames by hand, import a WAV, or type a formula like sin(tau*x) and watch it land. Brushes for sine, pulse, noise, hills, and step shapes. Per-frame, per-range, or per-table operators. NORM, SMOOTH, PHASE, SYNC, QUANT, LP, HP, FM, MIRROR, ASYM, SALIGN. Audition live, A/B against the original, embed the table in the preset so the patch travels with you.
Up to 256 frames. Real-time edits, clickless. The kind of editor you'd expect to pay extra for, included.
