Introduction to Lush
Lush 2
is a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer. Its structure is based on 8 layers. Each
Layer
is an independent synthe-
sizer with its own parameters and polyphony.
Each of the layers can listen to a different
MIDI
channel and respond to a different keyboard zone. Therefore, the
synthesizer works as a multi-timbral instrument where each
Layer
is controlled via a different
MIDI
channel. It is
also possible to conveniently split a
MIDI
keyboard into sections, where different
Layers
listen to different keyboard
sections of the same
MIDI
channel. You can also create complex sound textures by overlapping
Layers
, where more
than one layer listens to the same keyboard zone on the same
MIDI
channel.
Lush 2
allows for convenient mixing of
Layers
within a custom-designed, built-in
Mixer
, where we can add final touch-
es through parametric equalizers, compressors (one per channel) and
3
built-in send effects. Each of the tracks corre-
sponding to one
Layer
or each of
3
available effect tracks corresponding to
3
send effects can be sent to any of
11
available plug-in outputs.
