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 · Workstation
Lycos DAW
Every lone wolf needs a den. This is where tracks are born alone — late at night, lights down, nobody looking over your shoulder. Record the take, arrange the song, mix it until it bites. One focused workstation, built for the musician who hunts solo.
It hosts every MonoLycos instrument the moment you open it. No account wall. No ads. No club. No recurring fees. No update forced on you the night before a session. Just you, the timeline, and whatever comes out next.
- Record & arrange — catch the idea before it escapes, shape it on a clean timeline.
- Mix with intent — balance, sculpt and finish without leaving the den.
- The whole pack, ready — Aurora, The Bard, Lycos Synth and Groove Buster load instantly 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.

Groove Buster
Every track lives or dies on the groove. Groove Buster is built to get your head nodding in seconds — drums that punch through the speaker grille, rhythms with swing and bite, patterns that make the rest of the pack fall into step.
It is the fastest way into MonoLycos and the one you will reach for first on every new session. Lay the beat, feel the pocket, and the song starts writing itself.
What you’ll feel
- Punch — kicks and snares that hit hard without a fight.
- Pocket — swing and feel that make loops move like a drummer.
- Speed — a full groove in seconds, so the idea never cools.
