New sounds.
Finished tracks.
Deep when you want to dig. Quick when you want to finish.
Six instruments built by a sound designer for the way music actually gets made: grab a sound, play it, bend it, and have a track before the idea goes cold. Every one starts from presets that already sound like a record, and every knob goes deeper than you will ever need.
Six instruments, one way of working
Sample it, weather it, play it, ring it, remember it, finish it. Each one runs on its own or inside your DAW. Learn one and you already know the others.
LENS
Load a sound you love. Have a track by the time the coffee is cold.
A sixteen-track sampler-sequencer that plays like a box on the desk: locks on every step, conditions, a slicer, XY pads you can perform, Scenes into a song. Kits from our own recordings in the box.
LENS TOLVANERA
Wind lifting dust off a dry plain. Snow on a wall of rock.
Drop in one sound (a bird, your voice, a radiator) and it is laid down as layers in a wall. Play it from the keys as grains, as a pass, or as the sample itself. Vocoder, chords, euclid rings. 131 presets.
LENS POLY
Hold one chord. Let it go somewhere you did not plan.
Two-layer polysynth with FM and a TEXTURE grain engine that turns any sample into a pad. ORBIT plays notes off planets crossing a beam. 108 presets that are ready for a track.
LENS AZOGUE
Quicksilver: bright, heavy, never still.
Six lines of sine, pulse, noise, FM and particles tuned by ratio, not by key. Bells, beating pairs, sub you feel in the floor, glitch and dirt when you want it. Play it from the pool.
LENS RESOLANA
The glow left in the sky after the sun goes down.
Always recording, filed by bar. Bring bar 9 of the verse back inside the chorus, play the drums from the vocal track’s past, loop it, grain it, chop it. 183 presets.
LENS MASTER
The last listen before it leaves the room.
EQ, glue, multiband, width, saturation, a true-peak limiter and loudness targets on one page. Start from a target, then fine-tune. No dice on the master bus.
Twenty minutes or all night
FASTMake the track
Pick a preset, press play, hold a key. RANDOM rolls a new take on the sound or the pattern; ORIGINAL puts it back the way it was. Drag the pattern out as MIDI or the audio as stems, straight into your arrangement. One idea, one evening, done.
DEEPFind the sound
Lock any knob to a single step. Switch whole modules off without losing their settings. MIDI-learn anything, automate everything. Nothing you do is destructive: preset loads, CLEAR and RANDOM all undo, and the history remembers.
Nothing added afterwards
Every demo here comes straight out of the engines you download, playing factory presets, with no processing after the fact. On the effects, flip BEFORE / AFTER while it plays.
Why these exist
I make records and I design sounds. The instruments I love are the ones on the desk: a box with a light under every step, a pedal with secret switches on the back, a sampler you can play with your eyes shut. Most software asked me to click through menus instead of playing. So I build instruments that behave like those boxes: one object, big controls, a few hidden switches, and sounds you will not find anywhere else.
The sounds in the box are my own: drum machines, synths, tape, storms, train stations. Nothing borrowed, nothing from a library.

The room is an instrument.
01One way of working
The same knobs, pages, preset browser, RESET and MIDI LEARN in every instrument. Double-click any control to reset it, right-click to learn it.
02600+ places to start
Factory presets and kits named for what they do and how they feel, not for a genre. Start from music, not from a blank panel.
03Safe to push
A ceiling sits under every output and every factory preset is tested against it. Crank the feedback, stack the drive. Nothing blows up your monitors.
