The Bismuth Black Friday deal from Lunacy takes 50% off this resonator effect, bringing it to $29 until Nov 11, 2026.
Bismuth is an effect Lunacy built together with EDM producer Virtual Riot. The maker calls it an iridescent color resonator that turns raw sound into something tonal and melodic.
It runs resonant filters over whatever you feed it, and those filters are tuned to chords and scales you choose. Clean audio goes in, and layers of harmonics tied to your chosen notes come out.
Bismuth was designed for BEAM, Lunacy's multi-effects engine, and it is also sold as a standalone effect plugin. The maker's pitch is light through a prism: a clean input comes out split into hidden harmonics and shimmering tones.
The standalone version comes as VST, AU and AAX, so it loads in all major DAWs.
The effect is split into sections, each with its own job:
Arp: steps repeatedly across each note in the chord you play, and its Rate can be left unsynced or tied to the tempo. It has classic patterns, a Random mode and a Chord mode with shifting harmonic motion.
Q boosts resonance around the cutoff points, Tilt shifts the tonal weighting toward warmer or airier territory, and Scoop pulls down the very frequencies that are ringing. The maker points to Scoop for reining in tails and keeping the resonance focused.
You get 30 Bismuth presets from sound designers including Virtual Riot himself.
If you own BEAM, Bismuth also runs inside it, with up to 3 Bismuth nodes in serial or parallel. BEAM owners also get the 50-preset "Gemstones" pack, which pairs Bismuth with the other BEAM effects.
