Description : Lush 2 is an update to a synth that is itself an emulation on steroids of a 40-year-old synth!
Lush 2 is still an 8-layer synth, but with a huge arpeggio section, more effects, reworked oscillators and filters, and extra controls for tweaking.
Now it’s more about how everything fits together, and how creative you can get with the synth.
That said, it’s very similar to the original in terms of the user interface, and the optional color changes to blue and red still give it the look of an SH-101.
In use, it’s also still very much a multi-timbral synth, with layers acting either independently as eight synths on different MIDI channels, or combining into massive sounds.
You can use global presets to mix layers and can easily choose which sounds go into each one, and in that regard it’s very similar to the old Roland workstation.
Possibilities :
The Lush 2 synthesizer
allows you to achieve an “unheard of” level of creativity: each layer works as an independent synthesizer with its own polyphony, parameters, extended autorhythm and the ability to choose from 8 of the best effects.
Modulation matrix
An entire page is dedicated to setting the modulation of almost any parameter: choose a source, choose a destination, set the value: creative modulation. The Lush 2
mixer
also features a powerful built-in mixer with layer-independent parametric EQs and compressors that can be rearranged. Volume, panning and excellent send effects allow you to perfect the final result.
Sound Expansions:
“Ripple”
64 unique presets for the Lush 2 synthesizer from BigTone, a renowned sound designer renowned for his signature analog-inspired aesthetic.
“Pulse”
High-voltage energy, hard-hitting overlays and aggressive sequences crafted for cinematic and industrial effect.
“Aurora”
A lush, expressive collection that combines electronic synthesis with acoustic realism and subtle MIDI control.
