Flagship Instrument
Lycos Aurora
Press one key and the room disappears. Aurora breathes slow-blooming pads, shimmering choirs of light and night-sky atmospheres that move on their own — the sound of the northern lights, poured straight into your DAW. One price, yours forever.
The Aurora Wrap. Aurora wears a world of its own: a full wrap that travels from the city through the forest to the ocean and the ice of Antarctica, while the sky climbs through space toward heaven under the living northern lights. It's the flagship look — the journey you hear, painted around the instrument you play.
- The Aurora Wrap — a signature city-to-heaven world wrapped around the instrument.
- Living pads that evolve on their own while you play.
- Shimmering choirs of light for intros, breakdowns and endings.
- Night-sky atmospheres that make any track feel infinite.
The Den · Mixer + Multitrack Recorder
Lycos DAW
Never used a DAW before? Good — this one feels like sitting down at a real mixing desk. Faders you can see, a big red record button, and tracks laid out left to right. Hit record, play your part, and it lands on the timeline. That’s it.
Under the hood it’s loaded: multitrack recording, a full mixer with meters and pan on every channel, and every MonoLycos instrument ready inside. It looks mechanical, it works like software — and nothing is hidden behind an account wall, a club or a forced update.
- Press record — arm a track, hit the red button, play. Your take is on the timeline.
- A real mixer — channel strips with faders, meters and pan, laid out like hardware.
- Multitrack timeline — stack takes, drag clips, loop sections without getting lost.
- Instruments built in — Aurora, The Bard, Lycos Synth and Groove Buster open right inside.
- Yours to keep — pay once; the version you buy is the version you own.

Melodic Instrument
The Bard
Some instruments play notes. The Bard tells stories. Built for the lead line that hooks the listener on the first bar, it gives your melodies voice, character and the kind of expression that makes a phrase feel sung rather than sequenced.
Sketch a motif at midnight, and by morning it already sounds like the heart of the song. This is the instrument for writers who chase the tune first and the production second.
What you’ll feel
- Expressive leads that bend, breathe and cut through a dense mix.
- Character voices with personality built in — less tweaking, more writing.
- Hooks that stick — play a phrase once and hear why it belongs.

Deep Synthesis
Lycos Synth
This is the engine room. Lycos Synth is layered, workstation-grade sound design for producers who want the low end to move air and the leads to slice through steel.
Stack oscillators into basses that shake the room, sculpt cutting leads, build pads and plucks that fill the whole spectrum. Start from a sound that already works — or tear it down and build something no one has heard yet.
What you’ll feel
- Massive basses with weight you feel before you hear.
- Cutting leads that own the top of the mix.
- Layered stacks for full-spectrum sounds from a single patch.
- Hands-on shaping — filter, drive and movement right under your fingers.
