PROFESSIONALLY SAMPLED SOUNDS
The Lumen Handpan features professionally sampled sounds from our sound partners, Soniccouture, that capture the rich and complex timbre of the original handpan and percussion instruments.
As a result of years of research and development, the sounds have been carefully recorded using high-quality equipment that captures every nuance and detail of the instrument. The result is a realistic and authentic sound that rivals that of the traditional, original handpans.
With the Lumen Handpan
You can play with confidence knowing your instrument samples have been professionally recorded with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a full range and spectrum of sound, true to each original instrument, with rich and dynamic round-robin layering that is full of character.
You can try out some of the instruments below for an idea of what the Lumen Handpan sounds like.
Keep in mind these audio clips are compressed mp3s, and the audio quality is much higher in wav format on the Lumen Handpan, with dynamic round-robin layering that helps to create a natural sound with each unique strike.

What does that mean regarding the audio quality?
Just as a handpan player would love the unique and expressive sound of the instrument, so would a musician love the unique sound and characteristics of their preferred instrument(s).
In most cases, a musician would be limited only by the acoustic properties of the instrument, and by the varying environmental conditions. For example, when you are performing inside or outside, in a sound-proof booth or being unable to avoid background noises.
The team at Soniccouture, behind the instrument recordings, has worked tirelessly to capture the full range and nuance of each instrument’s unique sound. The result is that the Lumen Handpan comes packed with professionally sampled instruments so that you can access a wide range of high-quality and expressive sounds, for any style and genre of music you prefer.
With the Lumen Handpan’s professionally sampled sounds, you can create a rich and immersive musical experience that’s perfect for solo performances, jam sessions, or recording.
The instrument’s high-quality sounds also make it an excellent tool for sound design, providing unique textures and atmospheres for film, TV, and video game projects.
