Hi everyone, maker here.
Laura is a synth plugin (VST3, AU, and standalone, Mac and Windows) that I built end-to-end as one person: DSP, UI, presets, installers, licensing, the site.
I'm an engineer first and a home studio producer second, and Laura started as a question I couldn't let go of: what does a Mandelbrot set sound like? The answer became the fractal oscillators, and they're still my favorite part. Wavetables, FM, and classic analog are in there too, but the other thing you won't find elsewhere is Mycelium, a reaction-diffusion field shared by all voices. Playing feeds the field, the field evolves on its own, and every voice reads modulation back out of it. Patches drift and breathe without you touching an LFO.
What changed along the way: I started with the DSP because that was the fun part, then learned that a finished instrument is mostly everything else. Loudness-matching all 283 presets so browsing doesn't hurt, click-free preset switching, MPE, code signing on two platforms, offline licensing. That half took longer than the synthesis did.
Pricing is simple: $69 (until August 11, then 149$) once, lifetime license, free updates (I try to push updates every Tuesday, been successful so far!), no subscription, no telemetry.
There's a free demo at lostsynapse.store, plus a free 27-preset techno pack.
I'll be around all day. Ask me anything, from filter design to why the license is an offline file.
