Sinevibes Luminance C2 Shimmer Reverb User Guide

Luminance v2
Shimmer reverb

INTRODUCTION

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.

INTERFACE

Luminance features a fully vector-based interface, with color-coded elements for effective visual grouping. The interface allows you to change its window size from 0.8x to 2x in 20% increments. The last size you set is stored in a preference file and is recalled the next time Luminance is loaded.

• Hold shift and drag a knob to adjust the parameter with increased resolution.
• Use option-click (Mac) or alt-click (Windows), or double-click any knob to recall its default parameter value.
• To fully initialize all plugin’s parameters, load the preset named Default from either Factory or User bank.

PARAMETERS

PRESETS

Luminance features simple built-in functions for saving and loading presets, as well as for quickly switching between presets within the same bank. All these functions are accessed via the top toolbar.

Preset Name
Click the preset name in the top center to show an open file dialog with the list of presets in the current bank. Use command-click (Mac) or control-click (Windows) on the preset name to reveal the actual file.
Switch to the previous preset in the current bank. The current bank is automatically set to wherever the last preset was loaded from.
Switch to the next preset in the current bank.
Show open file dialog with the list of preset banks. By default, the plugin includes two banks: Factory and User. However, you can freely
create additional banks – simply by creating new subfolders.
Save currently preset. Please note: due to the limitations of the typeface, you can only use Latin letters when naming your presets
