Transform your audio in a new way.
Liminal intelligently targets the loudest, quietest, and intermediate intensity transients of your audio so you can apply processing to them separately. The first Dynamic Threshold Processor of its kind - Liminal's suite of professional effects and intuitive routing matrix are equally suited to intense transformative sound design and precision creative problem solving in mixes. Explore totally new sonic possibilities with a smart workflow that lets you focus on the music.

Take Precise Control of Dynamic Performances
What if you could take total control of your drums with one plugin on the drum buss? Process snare rimshots and ghost notes separately? Easily balance a delicate piano performance without spending hours hand-editing the soul out of the performance? Carefully apply effects to specific vocal phrases based on their intensity for a new level of clarity? Liminal gives you the tools to be creative and solve problems in a single plugin even when processing complex mixed-source audio.

Transform Any Source Into Creative 'Synths'
Liminal's deep level of transient manipulation and powerful effects modules like Grain and Waveshaper let you completely transform a performance into something new and intriguing. Delicate string plucks take on complex synth textures. Any percussive source can create immersive pads and ambient rhythms. Whether you're crafting intricate sound designs for games/film or wanting to make your song stand out from the crowd, Liminal removes creative boundaries so you can bring the sound in your head into reality.

Flip Samples & Create Memorable Transitions
9+ professional effects in a single plugin with precision transient targeting means you can do more than ever without a massive signal chain. Transform loops into something totally original with Liminal's 3 transient lanes and intuitive effect slots. Modules like Repeater and Grain are some of the most effective ways to creatively manipulate samples. Create a glitchy, pitch-unstable version of your track, then automate Liminal's Mix control for exciting transitions. Creativity no longer has to come at the expense of your workflow.

Dedicated Transient Lane EQ
Dedicated input & output EQ for each of the 3 transient lanes is at the core of Liminal's workflow. Input EQ can be used to further target your processing within lanes - such as removing low frequencies from the sidechain to exclusively process snare hits that are the same volume as kicks. Output EQ is traditional EQ that affects the tone of your audio - individually adjustable per lane without taking up an effect slot. Alongside inter-band sidechain compression, this allows you to dramatically rebalance your sound before even touching Liminal's effects.

What's Included
Intelligent Transient Targeting
Liminal detects transient amplitude through your choice of percussive, sustain, or adaptive modes, making it a breeze to target & process your audio quickly. Additional deep editing of parameters like lookahead & sensitivity are available for precision control.
9+ Professional Effects
Bitcrush, delay, flanger (great for chorusing), grain, overdrive, pitch (with stereo detune), reverb, repeater, & waveshaper (extreme distortion) - in addition to dedicated EQ per-lane, sidechain compression, & even a latching Performance Mode.
Intuitive Routing Matrix
Each of the 3 transient lanes can be routed through 0, 1, 2, or all 3 FX slots. The FX can run in parallel or in series, all 3 lanes can be muted or soloed, & lanes can also be level adjusted for dramatic reshaping of your source audio. Complete with I/O level & mix controls.
Artist Presets
Liminal comes with dozens of presets dialed by pros so you can find a good starting point for your personal productions. We've also made it easy to categorize your own presets, & you can even randomize all parameters to find some (admittedly, probably pretty weird) inspiration.

Liminal is designed to inspire - the rest is up to you. Many of our testers used it in ways we didn't anticipate. It's a set of tools & a brand new way to use them. Now it's your turn to use Liminal for those "If only I could" moments to solve problems & break new creative ground.
