A new grasp on harmonic sculpting

Color with structure.

Lumen is a dual-engine harmonic sculptor for mixing, mastering and bold sound design. Two independent saturation engines let you work in low and high bands, Mid and Side, or Left and Right.

Modern nonlinear algorithms sit inside a workflow designed to keep decisions fast, audible and easy to revisit.

Hear the decisions

Three ways into the signal.

Focused use cases from the original Lumen product presentation, now part of the standalone product page.

01

Lead presence and shine

A split-band setup reveals harmonic detail and brightness without pushing the lead into harshness.

02

Phantom top band

Phantom and Harmonic Clip give the upper band confident focus while the lower engine keeps its weight.

03

Mid Side saturation and width

Different algorithms on Mid and Side create expansion, density and movement from one focused interface.

Inside Lumen

The full harmonic chain.

01 / Dual engine

Dual Engine Architecture

Two complete processing engines run in parallel. Route them as frequency bands, Mid and Side, or Left and Right on channels, buses and masters.

02 / Sculpt

Harmonic Sculpting Chain

Shapers redraw the waveform, Warpers bend dynamics, Warmers add analog-inspired saturation and Circuitry adds the final color.

03 / Excite

Psychoacoustic Exciter

Enhance presence and width with added harmonic energy that stays controlled instead of turning into brittle top-end fizz.

04 / Visualize

Distortion Visualizer

Subtract the dry signal and see only the harmonics Lumen adds, making nonlinear decisions easier to understand and repeat.

05 / Quality

High Quality Oversampling

Choose lighter settings while creating or increase the oversampling quality when the sound is ready to print.
