About
Drachma Lite is the free way into Drachma. It plays the same warm, three-oscillator analog engine as Drachma and Drachma Pro, with 100 presets for house, trance, pop and more, all matched in loudness so you can browse without reaching for the volume.
Lite keeps it simple: no wall of synth knobs. Pick a sound, shape it with five effects from the Athena suite (Ares drive, Sirens chorus, a phaser, Echo delay and Elysium reverb) and play. The NOW PLAYING screen shows each sound's genre, type and era at a glance.
When you want to design your own sounds, Drachma opens up the oscillators, filter, envelopes, LFOs and arpeggiator underneath, and Drachma Pro adds wavetables and deep modulation.
