Powerful, yet practical. An easy-to-tweak instrument that helps you find hit sounds in seconds, unleashing its and your maximum potential.
Lush 2 isn’t based on just a single machine; it’s built from modules that can be found in many modern virtual synths, combined into one compact, logical layout. Don’t let its looks fool you: though it may look benign at first, its modular, multi layer architecture takes it beyond simplistic poly-synths to the top shelf of extremely powerful, deeply programmable and devilishly versatile instruments in your arsenal.
Suspiciously accurate sound is achieved only through experience: countless hours were spent analyzing classic analogue synthesizers, and then designing and implementing DSP algorithms with close attention to every component in the signal path – not just approximating its overall output. D16 deliver to you a synth built on oscillators of uncompromising quality, filters with an incredibly natural warmth and character, and best-in-class effects.
On top of that…with all of the layers, multi-layer options, and routing capabilities the plugin offers – there’s no end to what you can do with just a single instance of Lush 2.
Lush 2 lets you reach “unheard of” levels of creativity – each layer works as an independent synthesizer with its own polyphony, parameters, enhanced arp, and a choice between 8 of the finest insert effects.
This guarantees Lush 2 has virtually limitless sound design possibilities and unique applications. You can quickly create multi-layer sounds 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 layers to different keyboard zones lets you create sophisticated splits, and an entire split-zone preset library exists to get you started. You can also assign different layers to different MIDI channels for 8-part multi-layer usage, and send out up to 11 audio outputs.
Over 1600 presets (all preset types included) curated into a clear, easy-to-navigate structure. A carefully prepared, categorized and tagged bank always lets you find exactly what you’re looking for – from massive basses, to complex sequences, to the toughest-sounding synthetic percussion you’ve ever heard… you’ll find it all here. Huge, inspiring arpeggiator performances covering an unusually broad scope will draw you in from the first key press. Plus, most of the factory presets make extensive use of the modulation matrix to produce sounds that are much more expressive and flavorful; LuSH-2 was designed to be a musical instrument first and foremost, and therefore the factory presets were designed with playability and personality in mind.
Innovative oscillator algorithms developed by D16 make Lush 2 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. Vibrato and pitch bend don’t compromise the spectral quality of the oscillators, allowing LuSH-2 to sound completely authentic even with the most challenging performances.
Resonance is constant across the entire frequency range, making the filter sound totally authentic, especially when controlled with the envelopes or an LFO. 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. Of course, keyboard tracking can also be applied to the filter for a smooth, adjustable cutoff gradient across the keyboard range.
Lush-2 is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).
