Inspired by Yesterday's Legends. Built for Today.

Micro Voice Alunia is a versatile monophonic synth voice designed for powerful, immediate sound creation within Voltage Modular. With two bold oscillators plus a sub oscillator, an expressive filter, and a smooth, musical envelope and lfo, it brings rich, playable tones to everything from shimmering pads to ripping lead sounds to deep, punchy bass. A lush stereo chorus completes the package.
