Laura is four oscillator engines, one signal path, a mod matrix, and one delightful "roll the dice" feature, aimed at a specific kind of sound designer. It is deliberately not a synth that tries to do everything. A single, well-scoped product that one type of user reaches for instinctively beats a feature-maximal one that serves no one in particular. Decide exactly who the tool is for and what the one delightful thing is, then resist the urge to add everything. Focus is what makes a solo product feel finished instead of thin.
