LENS POLY
Hold one chord. Let it go somewhere you did not plan.
The polysynth you reach for when the track needs a bed, a bass or a hook tonight. Two layers with FM, a grain engine that turns any sample into a pad, and ORBIT: hold a chord and planets crossing a beam play it for you. The presets are made to drop into a mix, not to show off in solo.
Factory presets, straight out
Rendered offline by the POLY engine: pads get chords, basses a line, ORBIT steers itself from two held chords.
01Two layers
LAYER A and LAYER B each have their own oscillator, filter, envelopes and FX routing. Stack a pad on a pluck, or split them across the keyboard.
02Built to cut through
2× oversampled voices, band-limited oscillators and hard sync, per-voice analog DRIFT, a driven ladder on every note and a PUNCH envelope curve for a fast front edge.
03FM
A into B, B into A and feedback on each, with ratios from the FM menu. Electric pianos, bells, growls and clavs without leaving the synth.
04TEXTURE
Load any sample and it becomes a grain cloud: position, size, density, spray, scan and pitch, key-tracked and routed into either layer.
05PAD page
Six macros (BLOOM, EVOLVE, WIDTH, TONE, GRIT, AIR), an XY pad, HOLD for hands-free chords, FREEZE for the reverb tail and CHORD to play a stored chord from one key.
06ORBIT
Planets circle on four rings; each time one crosses a beam it plays. Play a chord to steer it or let it walk a scale. BIG BANG scatters new planets; PULSAR, TRIPLETS and SPIRAL start you off.

Demo
The demo is the full instrument: every sound, every page, no time limit. Saving (projects, presets) and taking audio out are switched off, and the sound dips softly for a second once a minute, until you add a licence key; your DAW session still saves with it inside. The same install unlocks.
The quick guide walks through presets, the PAD page, building a sound on SYNTH and getting ORBIT to play.
