Beam by Lunacy Audio - Multi Effect plugin

[Sampleconstruct]

Bug report: saved presets don't appear in the Browser/User although I can see them in the user library /Application Support. The only workaround is to save them as AU Presets. This is on an M3 Macbook Pro MAC OS 14.7 in Logic. Anybody else?

Same here. Reported it to Lunacy Audio last week. They confirmed and said there would be a fix shortly

Great, thank you

Just downloaded version 1.2.4. This fixes the User saved presets bug

Is there a manual for Bean somewhere? I couldnt find one.

I haven't found a manual either but now I don't need it anymore.

Maybe you had a problem because you were searching for the manual for ‘Bean’?

I put the web manual into a PDF for those that want it:

Here's a track Made With Beam. Its Synplants and Microtonics through Beams using mostly factory presets and some UBK2 on the drums... and a mastering chain.

nice listen... I am seeing the advertisments all the time but I am after delay's right now that vary in time like a delay sequencer with varied time spacing..

In Beam you could put the LFO modulator into step mode (using the square shape) and modulate the delay time in the Granular node.

In a previous post I posted a track using Beam. I thought this might be useful to those wondering about Beam and the fact there is no demo. Here is the same track but with all the Beam instances bypassed. It's 6 tracks: 2 Microtonics and 4 Synplants, each through an instance of Beam. This demonstrates some of the possibilities with Beam. In this example these are more overt effects, many rhythm based. Beam is also capable of subtle effects.

This isnt a "which sounds better" post. It's only to demonstrate some of the things Beam can do.

As of today I can't open Beam anymore as the plugin claims I don't have a valid license, so I'm asked to login to my account but to no avail, the no-valid-license-warning remains, anybody else?

It seems fine here.

My Beam is also not working / allowing me to log into the plugin. Might be time to get that refund if they can't keep their mission critical tech working...

Thanks for confirming, so it seems that the copy protection they're using for Beam is simply crap.

Imagine if you were on a deadline.
