01

Laser FX Core

Ring modulation, AM blend, frequency shifting, Sideband Composer modes, and guarded Laser Burst transitions.

02

Performable Motion

LFO, random, Deja Vu memory, mutation, step motion, envelope control, macro morphing, and Performance Scenes.

03

Mix-Safe Damage

Sub Safe, transient-safe processing, auto gain, soft limit, filters, oversampling, and multiband control.

04

Guided Presets

84 factory presets, source-tagged banks, searchable browser, Mix Lock, Smart Randomize, A/B/C/D snapshots, and Tour mode.

From clean AM tremolo to controlled audio-rate destruction.

Plugin Interface

Macro-first. Lab-deep.

The main view keeps carrier, blend, motion, sidebands, presets, and safety visible. The advanced rail opens carrier design, analog character, modulation routing, multiband protection, sidechain carrier input, and release-safe output control.
