Now Available: Hikari, A Generative Reverberator Audio Plugin

Greetings

We just put out a new plugin, Hikari.

Hikari is based off of a number of weird digital reverberators from the 1990s and 2000s that we were able to get our hands on and reconstruct digitally. Of course, we also opted to add a lot of new twists.

Central to Hikari’s interface is the “Navigator”, which lets you move around 2D space, and as your position changes, the structure of various reverb elements slightly change.

Beyond that, there is also the “Anomaly” system, which further alters the reverb and adds even more processing when the navigator reaches one of the anomaly points.

What the anomalies do exactly is determined in each plugin’s individual state, so there are a great number of possible combinations for what anomaly processing can do, and explaining it would be redundant. Try it yourself instead!

This video shows how some of Hikari’s presets sound. Hikari has a similar preset management system to Recurse and Glow.

More YouTube videos covering Hikari & more will be available shortly. The manual for Hikari can be found at docs.lese.io.

Hikari can be yours for a discount, using our summer sale discount code SUMMER25.

Happy Producing!

Other plugin updates

Beyond Hikari, all of the other plugins have also had some extra updates lately:

Mono I/O support (and configurable I/O) is now supported for most plugins (aside from spatial audio plugins like Transfer which need stereo output)

Unlocking has been improved. Offline activation is now available

Networked services (like the news & update notifier) have been improved

And finally, if you bought a plugin off of a reseller, you can now associate your license key to a Lese account (in the cases where resellers haven’t gotten the latest updates yet, and you want to upgrade faster). You can do this from your account page.

Hello Again We’re happy to announce the release of Herman. Herman was born out of the experimentation of ideas regarding “recursive processing”, the same sort of ideas that created Recurse. The difference between Recurse and Herman however is that Herman
