Numen
Any space, in any session.
Convolution reverb without the clutter. Load any impulse response and put your track inside a real acoustic space, no maze of tabs, no menu-diving. Just load the room, set the blend, and you're there.
Launch sale · through July 4
The demo is the full plugin, every feature unlocked. The only limit: the reverb briefly mutes for about two seconds every 45 seconds until you activate a license.
macOS · AU / VST3 · Windows coming soon
Why Numen
True convolution. Nothing in the way.
Convolution gives you the actual sound of a real space: a cathedral, a studio plate, a vintage hardware unit, the inside of a steel tank. Numen makes using it effortless. Load an impulse response, set your levels, and your sound is in the room.
Then shape it with the controls that actually matter: input and output level, wet/dry mix, pre-delay, reverb time, and a touch of modulation to de-static the tail. That's it. That's the plugin.
