What's new in 2.0?

FEATURES

Let’s get spacey. Space Effect

A stunning convolution reverb effect featuring a curated set of impulse responses, including sound design by Benn Jordan and Venus Theory.

These aren’t your average spaces – dive deep into a collection of textural spaces designed to transform audio into new soundscapes.

Slice and dice. Grains Effect

A real-time granular effect perfect for shimmering particle clouds, glitchy percussive grooves, and rhythmic soundscapes.

Built for speed and performance, BEAM allows up to three parallel grain engines at once.

Haze Effect

A silky smooth chorus and phase effect with lush algorithmic reverbs and dispersion. Add buttery stereo width, or go wild with the feedback to create otherworldly resonances and reverb timbres.

Powerful Filters

A collection of creative filter types ranging from classic lowpass filters to comb filters with frequency, rolloff, resonance, and stereo width control. Use up to four filter nodes in serial or parallel to dial in the right frequencies for each patch.

Dynamic Graph

Build complex effect layouts using an interactive visual audio graph. BEAM allows endless combinations of parallel and serial sequences with up to 6 parallel paths.

Modulation

Harness the power of LFOs, an enveloper follower, and a macro control with drag and drop modulation. Browse dozens of LFO presets or draw your own shapes with a powerful curve editor, featuring quick edit tools, grid snapping, and a magic LFO shape generator.

Standalone Effects

Use any BEAM effect as a standalone plugin for a faster workflow. Build complex patches with any Lunacy effects in BEAM, or just focus on a single effect.
