BEAM 2.0

Creative Effects Playground

BEAM is a modular effects playground filled with a growing collection of cutting-edge effects to transform your sounds. Use any Lunacy effect directly in BEAM to sparkle your keys, spice up your vocals, reshape your drums, and launch your synths into outer space.

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.

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.

Deep Modulation

Harness the power of LFOs, an envelope 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.

Volt (BEAM Expansion)

Dynamic Analog Distortion for BEAM

Volt is a creative 3-in-1 distortion module designed for BEAM, our multi-effects engine.

Combining analog-inspired saturation, multi-band compression, and digital bitshaping with a dynamic feedback delay network, Volt electrifies anything you plug into it. Add warmth, punch, and unpredictable resonances to any signal, from subtle tube-inspired drive to radical bitcrushing chaos. 

Turn up the heat.

The Heat Knob introduces a warm, asymmetrical tube-like saturation. Low values provide gentle coloration. Higher values drive the signal into thick, amplifier-style fuzz and overdrive.
Crush with clarity. 

The Crush Knob manipulates underlying audio bits for crunchy digital artifacts and edgy textures. Keep it subtle for added bite and crispiness, or crank it high for glitchy, bitcrushing chaos.

Pack more punch.

The Charge Knob applies a multi-band compression in a similar style to OTT compression. Low settings add subtle brightening and dynamic punch, while higher values deliver a more pronounced, shimmering lift with mild saturation.

Use each algorithm individually, or combine to create your ideal blend of distortion.  Experiment with filters, color and contour, to emphasize details within your mix.

Finesse with feedback.

The Feedback Delay Network in Volt integrates the Heat, Charge, and Crush effects into a dynamic feedback system inspired by the organic feedback resonance of guitar amplifiers. 

• Use the Freq Knob to set delay times for each feedback line.
• Offset delay frequencies with Scatter for rhythmic or chaotic movement.
• Adjust Diffusion to control resonances and shape the timbre.
• The Open Knob lets you dial in the intensity of the feedback effect.
• Finally, the universal Depth Knob provides overall control of your distortion mix.

Combine these controls to take your sound in exciting new directions—from sculpting tight, controlled saturation to expansive, reverb-like resonances.

Features

• Volt Node: Access the Volt algorithms inside BEAM with the ability to use up to 3 Volt nodes in serial or parallel.
• 75 Global Presets: Explore a new preset pack called "High Voltage" combining the distortion node with all other BEAM effects.
• 25 Node Presets: Work faster with dedicated settings designed specifically for the Volt node.
• 30 Cabinet Impulses: Combine Volt with 30 bespoke cabinet impulse responses, sampled from classic amplifiers and speakers.
