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.
Harmonic Sculptor
The missing saturation and color stage in your processing chain. From gentle tone shaping to rich harmonic territory.

A new grasp on harmonic sculpting
Color with structure.
Lumen is a dual-engine harmonic sculptor for mixing, mastering and bold sound design. Two fully independent saturation engines let you work in low and high bands, Mid and Side, or Left and Right.
Hear it for yourself
Three ways into the signal.
Short, focused examples of Lumen shaping leads and full mixes in context.
Lead presence and shineSplit-band shaping brings out harmonic detail and brightness without making the lead harsh.Phantom top bandPhantom and Harmonic Clip push the upper band forward while the low engine keeps its weight.Mid Side saturation and widthDifferent algorithms on Mid and Side create expansion, density and movement from one interface.
Inside Lumen
The full harmonic chain.
Five tools designed as one deliberate nonlinear workflow.
Harmonic Sculpting Chain
Shapers redraw the waveform, Warpers bend dynamics, Warmers add analog-inspired saturation and Circuitry adds the final color.
Psychoacoustic Exciter
Enhance presence and width with harmonic energy that stays controlled instead of turning into brittle top-end fizz.
Distortion Visualizer
Subtract the dry signal and see only the harmonics Lumen adds, making nonlinear decisions easier to understand and repeat.
High Quality Oversampling
Choose lighter settings while creating or increase the oversampling quality when the sound is ready to print.
