Neutral Labs Luna Groovebox & Eurorack Synthesizer Now Available
Neutral Labs has introduced Luna, a CMOS-based synth in the style of Stanley Lunetta’s DIY machines from the 1970s.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Luna will take you back to a time when digital didn’t mean perfect. It meant raw.
Luna is a love letter to the Lunetta machines of old: Living, breathing organisms built from CMOS logic chips. But where those machines were fragile experiments, Luna is a weaponized instrument of sonic confusion.”
Features:
- 5 oscillators
- logic gates (2 XOR, 2 NOT, 2 AND)
- 5 logic blocks (5-step ring counter,4-bit binary counter, 2 shift registers, 4-channel multiplexer)
- 3 touchpads that generate logic signals
- 3 channels for audio manipulation (low-pass gates with adjustable decay and switchable trigger mode, gain, tilt EQ)
- 13 audio effects that can be freely assigned to 2 effect slots running in series (drive, delay, reverb, 6 filter types, bitcrusher, phaser, chorus, comb filter)
- CV control for effects and 2 oscillators
- MIDI control over 2 oscillators, all 3 low-pass gates, and 3 logic outputs (MIDI TRS A socket)
- 2 sequencers with up to 64 steps, syncable to clock or MIDI
- audio output is headphone compatible
