Host Software: VST3 or AAX compatible 64-bit host DAW (Pro Tools 11+ for AAX)
A modular multi-effects playground and creative processing ecosystem by Lunacy Audio, featuring an interactive visual node graph, deep drag-and-drop modulation, real-time granular particle engines, convolution reverbs curated by Benn Jordan and Venus Theory, and 8 dedicated standalone plugin counterparts for streamlined single-purpose workflows.
Modular Multi-Effects Playground (BEAM): Combine, cross-route, and modulate an entire ecosystem of creative sound design processors within an interactive, audio-reactive node graph.
8 Dedicated Standalone Plugins Included: Run every internal module (Space, Grains, Haze, Filter, Taps, Time, Volt, Bismuth) as an individual, low-CPU VST3/AAX plugin when you need quick, targeted processing.
Space Convolution Reverb: High-definition convolution engine loaded with curated impulse responses and bespoke acoustic spaces designed by Benn Jordan, Venus Theory, and the Lunacy Audio team.
Real-Time Grains Engine: Granular synthesis processor capable of transforming keys, vocals, and synths into shimmering particle clouds, stuttering polyrhythms, and ambient pads.
Haze Modulation & Diffusion: Hybrid chorus, flanging, and phaser stage coupled with wide algorithmic diffusion reverb.
Dynamic Node-Graph Routing: Visually connect audio paths, parallel splits, and feedback networks without rigid channel limitations.
Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Modulation: Animate any parameter using tempo-synced LFOs, dynamic envelope followers, and custom macro controllers.
Pre-Activated Cured Release: Clean offline installer requiring no serial numbers, iLok services, or background licensing daemons.
From Single Modules to an Infinite Sound Design Canvas Lunacy Audio BEAM Bundle v2.3.1 reimagines creative audio manipulation by blending modular freedom with intuitive visual design. Whether treating delicate piano chords, transforming lead vocals into evolving textures, or mangling drum loops into aggressive industrial rhythms, BEAM offers both a deep playground for experimentation and lightning-fast surgical tools for tight production deadlines.
Interconnected Sound Design or Fast Standalone Utilities
Rather than confining its DSP power to a single monolithic window, the BEAM Bundle provides the best of both worlds:
Load the flagship BEAM environment to construct complex, multi-stage processing chains linked by dynamic visual graph routing and deep cross-modulation.
Load any of the 8 included individual standalone plugins directly onto individual mixer channels to save screen space, reduce CPU load, and streamline channel strip workflows.
Channel Routing: Stereo, Mono-to-Stereo, and True Mono track instances
Compatible Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs):
Image-Line FL Studio
Ableton Live (All 64-bit versions)
Steinberg Cubase / Nuendo

Avid Pro Tools (AAX Native 64-bit)
Installation Steps:
Run the setup installer executable as Administrator (Right-click -> Run as administrator).
Select your desired formats (VST3, AAX) and verify your plugin directory paths.
Ensure the factory Impulse Response (IR) soundbank directory is selected for installation.
Complete the installation wizard.
Launch your DAW, perform a complete plugin rescan, and load BEAM (or any individual module).
The bundle is pre-cured and activated; no serial registration, account sign-in, or activation codes are required.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: Can I use the BEAM effects individually without loading the main BEAM plugin?
A: Yes, the installer automatically registers all 8 dedicated individual plugins (BEAM Space, BEAM Grains, BEAM Haze, BEAM Filter, BEAM Taps, BEAM Time, BEAM Volt, BEAM Bismuth) directly in your DAW's plugin browser.
Q: Where are the Benn Jordan and Venus Theory impulse responses located?
A: Open BEAM Space (or the Space module inside BEAM), click on the IR library browser, and navigate to the "Artist Signature / Curated" folder.
Q: How do I map an LFO to a filter cutoff inside BEAM?
A: In the modulation drawer at the bottom of the BEAM interface, drag the modulation pin from LFO 1 directly onto the Cutoff knob of the Filter module, then adjust the modulation depth ring.
