ELECTRONIC-BASED SOUND DESIGN
Socora LITE is a powerful mini-synth and ‘motion fx studio’ that enables the creation of unique, complex and futuristic cinematic sounds. Built for sound designers, film, TV and game composers, Socora LITE is perfect for making everything from sci-fi, post-apocalyptic and horror to electro, synthwave and industrial music. It houses technology that replicates the sonic soul of an analog synth and special features that simplify your sound design process.

Expand your library with preset packs
FREE to download
All of your main controls in one place. Create galactic electronic sounds in seconds with Socora LITE’s front panel effects, sound shaping, modulation and macro controls.
Move the orange slider in the middle of the engine to morph and twist the library’s multi-fx. This single control operates a cosmos of weird and wonderful sounds!
Select a modular synth sample, add a touch of noise or sub-bass, spread the voices across the stereo field and add a sprinkle of unison. This dual-layer beastie packs a supersonic punch!
Shape your sound with high-cut and low-cut filters (with adaptive resonance), pitch and pan controls, and an ASDR that sports a collection of presets. Slick, quick and simple sound shaping!
We have been noodling with this multi-mode filter for months! It’s smooth, phat, buttery, and as close to analog hardware as we could make it. Nice!
How do you want your sound to perform? Do you want a gliding mono synth? Maybe something vintage? How about it responding to your hardware controllers or keeping your pulses perfectly synced? Easy!
This excites us the most! Thanks to 3rd-party sound designers, Socora LITE has an ever-growing palette of presets. We also have a FREEBIE preset pack available to download from our EXPANSION PACKS page.
ANALOG CORE
At its heart, Socora LITE features nine, beautifully sampled, modular synth oscillators and six noise/sub-basses (sampled from a rather tasty vintage analog synth). Using the engine’s effects, filters and modulation, these oscillator waveforms transform into incredible electro-cinematic sounds that can be warped, crushed, blown apart or gently set adrift across a vast sonic cosmos. You’ll not believe the sheer scope and quality of this lightweight yet heavy-hitting Kontakt library.
INSTABILITY CONTROL
One of our favourite features is the INSTABILITY control. By simulating how ageing electrical components effect the sound of an analog synth, this library sounds, feels and plays like the real thing! Set to zero, Socora LITE sounds like any other software synth. As the control is raised, the library begins to sound like an authentic modern synth in good working order. As the control is raised further, back in time we go – from ‘classic vintage synth’ to ‘ooo, that thing needs a service!’.
FX MORPHING
When you move the orange slider in the middle of Socora LITE, a multitude of FX settings change simultaneously. It’s like scrolling through a horde of your favourite FX presets, each one intensifying as the control increases. Not only does this simplify and speed up your creative process, it also paves the way for a unique style of modulation…fx morphing!
Get Socora LITE, and take this powerful and wonderfully unique feature for a spin.
ENHANCED FILTERING
Software filters…hmm…we have never been their biggest fans. To us, they lack the solidity and weight of their hardware equivalents. We found a missing ingredient, a little trick that makes our low-cut, high-cut and multi-mode filters sound more like the real thing. They are buttery smooth, heavy and phat, and bring a little more juicy goodness to software synthesis.
