Luminance is a plugin for creating "shimmer reverb" effects - unreal acoustic space simulations which gradually pitch-shift the reverberation tail upwards or downwards. It is a novel take on this highly coveted effect, based on a modern feedback delay network design with a built-in granular pitch shifter, and featuring many original tricks such as alternating-phase time scale modulation. Thanks to the unique, meticulously executed tuning of its individual components, Luminance possesses a fresh and highly musical character: it smoothly follows the original melodic content and creates a gorgeously beautiful background sound layer reminiscent of a dreamy symphony of strings or pipe organs – with organic depth and expansive stereo field.

Sound Engine:

  • Reverb engine based on 8x8 feedback delay network with spline interpolation and smoothly variable time scale.
  • Granular pitch shifter and two-pole low-pass filter for shimmer effect shaping.
  • Sine generator for time scale modulation, with unique alternating-polarity routing.
  • Additional pre-delay stage.
  • Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment.
  • Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations.

Graphic Interface:

  • Color-coded graphic elements.
  • Consistent name, mapping, value, and unit implemented for all parameters in both graphic user interface and host control/automation.
  • Built-in preset management functions.
  • Supports window size scaling up to 200%.

Supported Formats:

  • AAX + AU + VST3 for macOS 10.9 or later (64-bit Intel and Apple Silicon).
  • AAX + VST3 for Windows 8.1 or later (64-bit Intel).

Each of Sinevibes' unique effects has excellent sound quality, a clear and intuitive GUI, and are processor efficient– at a surprisingly low price point for the features offered. I know from experience... I own their entire collection!

But then there was LUMINANCE– a standout product not just among the Sinevibes collection- but the plugin market itself, and that's not hyperbole.

LUMINANCE sounds beautiful - which I've never felt about an effect before.

LUMINANCE creates a crisp, active, shimmery reverb, and the pitch shifting creates an incredibly musical and ethereal effect that enhances a surprising range of sounds. It created a shimmering tonal cloud when I used it on an arpeggiated synth pattern, while it both thickened up AND brought out subtle overtones in a percussion loop. Plus, it easily handles long decay times without losing clarity or causing dissonance. I'm stoked to try it on more sounds.

tl;dr LUMINANCE. Get it!
