The Luminary is a powerful polyphonic quad octave generator with advanced features for creating inspiring symphonic gusts of sound. Operating on the Analog Devices Sharc platform, it allows the user to easily dial in any combination of four separate octaves (-2, -1, +1, and +2) for crafting complex sounds and textures with crystal-clear and immediate octave tracking. The Luminary comes with three onboard pre-sets for saving your most used sounds, as well as a live mode, giving the user the flexibility to have up to four custom sounds available at any given time. Experience epic steel sounds with the modulation control unengaged, or explore more experimental options with the filter control or the tremolo effect on the flutter control. For maximum creativity, the Luminary can be coupled with an expression pedal.
Extended Info
Four octave options available -2, -1, +1, +2 – The four knobs across the top of the pedal control the level of each octave. With the Dry/Wet control, the user can explore the ground between minimum and 12 o’clock to keep the octave signal lower than your dry signal for subtleness. The territory between 12 o’clock and maximum keeps the user’s dry signal lower than unity for a boastful octave sound.
The Attack control dictates how fast the octaves bloom after the initial attack. Allow the octaves to swell in gradually at a higher attack setting. Hear immediate octave response with the attack control low or off. The Filter knob controls the cut off of a low-pass filter on the octave signals and also increases an envelope type effect at higher settings. The Flutter knob enables a tremolo effect that can be applied to the octaves. At zero, the tremolo effect is off. Increasing this knob engages the tremolo modulation and controls the rate of the effect.
The expression control allows the manipulation of any combination of these options to allow the user to customize the effectiveness of the Luminary: -1 and +1 octave volume, +1 octave volume, Attack, Flutter, and Dry/Wet.
