Modern feedback delay network
Sinevibes shimmer reverb engine found in Luminance offers an 8x8 feedback delay network for a complex layered effect to the Luminance reverb. Featuring spline interpolation and smoothly variable time scale, Luminance fully achieves the shimmering reverb effects that are its namesake. Luminance proves to develop a rich background soundscape that evokes the effect of a symphony featuring strings or pipe organs. A distinctive sonic layer of its own that is suffused with movement and sparkle; a gentle timbre but an effect that is equally capable of weight and powerful waves of reverb.
Shimmer shaping
Owing to the complexity of the shimmer reverb engine Luminance is highly capable of defined effect shaping and nuanced character. Luminance features a granular pitch shifter and two-pole low-pass filter for shimmer effect shaping. The built-in granular pitch shifter provides the ability to gradually pitch-shift the reverb tail upwards or downwards to develop movement and a slightly dissonant character that provides a great deal of depth to the mix. Meanwhile, the two-pole low-pass filter offers control over the brightness of your reverb that imparts a level of flexibility to the effect, so that a light and floaty reverb tail can be brought down to a weighty and subtle shimmer.
Time scale modulation
Luminance offers a sine-wave generator for time scale modulation featuring unique alternating polarity routing that opens the shimmer reverb engine to a nuanced sense of movement and manipulation. You can achieve many original tricks with Luminance such as alternating phase time scale modulation that offers a constantly shifting and attractive reverb for a unique and unusual quality in your mix.
User interface
Luminance follows suit in the range of Sinevibes effects units with its attractive design for intuitive access to a highly complex algorithmic reverb. Colour-coded graphic elements, consistent name, mapping, value and unit implementation for all parameters in the user interface and automation menus, built-in presets and preset management functions all develop an easy-to-follow workflow that means that you spend less time tediously digging through menus and more time experimenting with the expansive potentials of the Sinevibes Luminance.
Reviews
"Leave it to Sinevibes to bring something new and fascinating. Combining Sinevibes’ algorithmic prowess and trademark intuitive interface design, Luminance will open up new dimensions in anyone’s reverb repertoire." - Ask Audio
"Luminance has the advantage of sounding unique, utterly beautiful, and with a clear, simple interface [...] It’s probably the most accessible take I’ve seen on the idea, and the results sound modern and fresh without being too unfamiliar. In short: it’s some dreamy sauce you can add easily to anything." - Create Digital Music
