Laura

The deal

$69 at KVR Marketplace (down from $149). Sale runs through August 11, 2026.

What it is

Laura is a synthesizer plugin by Lost Synapse that combines four oscillator engines - wavetable, FM, analog-style, and fractal kernels - under a single signal path feeding into a shared filter and effects chain. The fractal engine is the standout section, generating timbres through six mathematical kernel types including Mandelbrot, Julia, Burning Ship, Tricorn, Multibrot, and Newton for harmonics that are difficult to achieve with any other synthesis method. The Filter+ section includes Lost Synapse's signature filter alongside a Sing wave-folder, adding further harmonic shaping before the signal reaches the 16-slot effects rack.

Who it's for

Sound designers and electronic music producers who want to push beyond conventional wavetable and FM synthesis. It's particularly well-suited to anyone building evolving pads, alien textures, ambient layers, or sounds with complex harmonic character that standard synths can't easily reproduce.

Key features

• The fractal synthesis engine generates unique timbres using six mathematical kernel types including Mandelbrot, Julia, and Burning Ship for harmonics that are hard to produce any other way
• A built-in wavetable editor supports custom wave creation with a formula box and up to 256 frames
• Six envelopes, four LFOs, and a full modulation matrix provide deep, expressive control over every parameter
• A 16-slot effects rack includes convolution reverb, delay, and distortion, and the lifetime license covers all future updates with no subscription required
