Noise Engineering released Legio
Noise Engineering released Legio, is a stereo oscillator/effects platform. Turn your module into a unique dynamics processor, a stereo multi-algorithm oscillator, or something completely different as new firmwares are released. Firmware is always free for Legio owners, so change up your module whenever you want a new function in your system. Legio is a 6HP transformable powerhouse.
Virt Iter Legio
Virt Iter Legio is a 6HP stereo oscillator with a distinct and versatile sound.
Its three oscillator algorithms – Bass, SawX, and Harm – will be familiar to users of our free Virt Vereor plugin and of the Arturia Microfreak both of which have the same oscillator modes.
Virt Iter Legio features independent left and right phase-modulation inputs, opening up opportunities for unique, gnarly sound design that takes over the stereo field, as well as a sync input for ripping hard-sync tones. It also features a vintage-inspired chorus: whether you want to create beautiful pads or hard-hitting bass, Virt Iter Legio’s massive sonic range will fit into any patch.
Virt Iter Legio is also an oscillator and DSP platform: users can change the firmware on any Legio module, 100% free, to any other firmware in the Legio series. And if you know us, you know we have a lot of ideas coming for this platform.
In just 6 HP, Virt Iter Legio is a powerful and worthy addition to any system, small or large.
Librae Legio
Librae Legio is the stereo dynamics processor of your dreams.
Whether you want to cleanly limit the full mix of your patch, add a little bit of color and dynamics with the expander and saturator, or completely crush a sound, Librae can do it all, and more – plus, it’s all CV controllable.
Librae Legio’s unique dynamics processing allows for incredibly clean compression, limiting, and expansion. Add in just a little bit and you won’t even know it’s there, or crank it to the max to really squish your sounds. Use the optional saturation stage to add in some slight harmonic distortion and glue your mix together. At lower gain settings, the saturation adds a little color to your sound and an almost tape-like effect to louder elements of the mix. Crank the gain to drive your mix to a whole new level of saturated happiness.
Librae Legio can process mono or stereo signals, and was designed to work with any type of patch. Concerned that heavy compression will bring out noise in your mix? Librae Legio’s adjustable noise gate will keep your patch clean. It also features an adjustable sidechain filter that changes how the dynamics processor reacts to incoming sounds.
Librae Legio is designed to excel at transparent and musical dynamics processing – but at Noise Engineering, we love to take things over the top, too. Send a gate to the FSU input to turn everything to the max and add some real crunch to your mix.
In just 6 HP, Librae Legio is a powerful and worthy addition to any system, small or large.
Librae Legio is also a DSP and oscillator platform: users can change the firmware on any Legio module, 100% free, to any other firmware in the Legio series. And if you know us, you know we have a lot of ideas coming for this platform.
