Lese Hikari - Stochastic Reverb

Lese Hikari is a stochastic reverberator inspired by unconventional digital reverb units from the 1990s and early 2000s. Built around an ocean-themed navigation system, Hikari turns reverb into an exploratory sound-design tool where moving through a virtual landscape continuously changes the behavior of the reverb algorithms.

At the center of Hikari is a two-dimensional Navigator. As you move through its terrain, the contours beneath the Navigator subtly alter reverb parameters and can also be used as modulation sources. An Autopilot mode can automate this movement for continuously evolving effects. Randomly generated Anomalies provide additional points of interest that introduce unexpected processing and new sonic states.

Hikari also includes Illusion, a short granularized reverse-audio effect, and Fathoms, a depth processor combining multistage filtering, subtle decorrelation, and light noise adjustments for additional ambience and texture.
