1. Knufinke SIR1 reverb plugin

/level-meter-free-vst-plugin.html. More info and free download @ http://www.knufinke.de/sir/sir1.php

The well known free convolution VST reverb. Convolution reverb is a processing plugin that need an impulse response file. Impulse response is the response of a dynamic system when this system is feeded with an impulse. This gives (an approximation of) the transfer function of the system, the system can be a reverb unit, an open space, a room , etc.

The signal we send to the plugin is convolved with the transfer function of the system : the output is “like if we sent this signal in the modelized system)

The SIR1 reverb comes with two impulse response example, but of course you’ll need more than two impulse response files to cover a large variety of reverb (plate, spring reverb, cathedral, stadium, natural spaces, theater, small room, big room, etc.)

Magic of the internet ! you can find impulse response files ! and for free
Some nice free Impulse Response IR files can be found there :

2. Magnus Ambience Reverb

Ambience free reverb VST

more information and download @ http://magnus.smartelectronix.com/#Ambience

This one is an algorithmic VST reverb, it sounds nice, has a fresh and intuitive GUI : try it !!
We like the gate section, with little tweaks you can try to achieve that Phil Collins snare sound
gated reverb !!
The plugin comes with many factory presets, to show the versatility of this reverb.

This one is very special, it’s an algorithmic reverb processing VST, but with innovative and unusual algorithms. It tries to emulate the acoustic response of surfaces and materials. So you can try to have the sound of an acoustic space like water.
It can be great for creative effects, and make surreal ambience and great FX! With – nice -metalic sounds. Check the presets => some great presets with name that say it all : Alien Room, Airport, Metal Factory,

4. LiquidSonics’ Reverberate LE

Reverberate LE

More infos and free download @ http://www.liquidsonics.com/software_reverberate_le.htm

The light edition of Reverberate, this is a convolution reverb, it’s very good and can load the impulse response file in wav, ogg or flac format.
It comes with various presets & IR files in flac format.

5. SinusWeb FreeverbToo

More information and free download @ http://www.sinusweb.de/freetoo.html

FreeverbToo is a VST reverb plugin based on the Schroeder/Moorer algorithm. There are many implementation of the freeverb algorithm, and this one is one of the best.
The gate section is great and efficient for this gated reverb effects (on snare !)

Here’s the signal flow (picture from the freeverbtoo documentation) :

VST

VST (Virtual Studio Technology) is a popular format fromSteinberg for loading plug-in effects into audio sequencers, hard disk recorders, sound editors, and trackers ConvolverVST is a convolution plug-in for (version 2.4 of) that format.

Applications

A potentially interesting application of convolverVST would be with the Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 sound cards, which can filter the input signal in real time without a sequencer. (I have not tried this.) This will allow convolution processing to be applied to sound from any application running on your system. See theAudiotrak web site for more details.

A similar approach — application of a filter to the sounds generated by any program installed on your computer — is available through theSonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter feature available with some Sony Vaio machines.

Limitations

The convolverVST plug-in is under active development. The current version has the following limitations:

  • There is no specific midi support
  • There is no offline processing support
  • The presets do not include the filter filename (so using multiple versions of convolverVST may cause confusion)
  • The accumulating process mode is not supported. (It just calls the replacing processing mode.)

The VST standard has evolved over time and is not precisely specified. Moreover, different hosts have different requirements of their VST and use the interface in different ways. I would very much welcome feedback on what works and what doesn't.

For example, I have been able to get the current version of convolverVST to work with

  • Sonar 5
  • Adobe Audition (which requires a stereo filter to be loaded)

Getting started

Vst plugins fender peaino bass. To install convolverVST:

1.download convolver and unzip it and runSetup.exe.

2. convolverVST requires libsndfile and libfftw DLLs to run. For many host applications, these must be in the execution path. To add the them to the execution path, right click on My Computer in Windows Explorer, selectProperties, the Advanced tab, and the Environment Variables button and append ;C:Program FilesConvolverConvolver (or the path to which you installed Convolver in the first step) to either the User or System Path variable using the corresponding Edit button:

3. Now start your host and scan for new VST plug-ins using your host application. (Some host applications require plug-ins to be dragged and dropped on them.)

4. Depending on your host, either at the scanning stage, or when you then load ConvolverVST, you will get a dialogue box reminding you that no filter has yet been selected. Depending on your host, this may happen more than once.

5. Now get convolverVST's property page up. How you do so depends on your host:

Hit the Filter/config button and select a WAV (or other supported sound file format) file
The file will be convolved channel by channel with the source. The file must have the same number of input and output channels and sample rate as the source that you are playing back and the number of speakers that you are using.Raw PCM (.PCM) files are assumed to be single-channel 44.1kHz 32-bit float files. Similarly .DBL files are assumed to be single-channel 44.1kHz 64-bit float files. If you need to specify a different sample rate with a raw file, use a config file.
This is not the best approach theoretically for room correction, but is simple and may give you good sound anyway; or
a configuration (text) file
This is more complex, but more flexible approach. There are also some examples, although they will not be intelligible without looking at the config file instructions first.
The links page has some pointers to sources of impulse responses that you can try, just to get going. See duffroomcorrection if you want to record your own room impulse responses.

6. The input channels are also scaled by 10 Atten'n / 20. So negative values will help to to prevent clipping and positive ones will result in amplification.If you hear no playback, try raising this value. The negative of the Estimated gain value shown in the filter description provides a good starting point. The (negative of the) Peak gain value will guarantee that there will be no overflows, but is extremely conservative. If you push the shift key while dragging the slider, you will get finer control.

7. The Partititions setting allows you to tune the convolution algorithm to your cpu (and the size of its cache). Try values such as 0, 2, 4, 8 or 16. A value of 0 will use straight overlap-save convolution. (A setting of 1 will effectively do the same, or more precisely overlap-add, but slightly less efficiently.) Also, the larger the number of partitions, the shorter the lag between input and output.

8. Convolver tunes itself for a particular filter and number of partitions when the filter is loaded or the number of partitions changed. The Tuning rigour setting allows you to specify how much effort the convolution routines put into tuning themselves to your system:

Estimate
specifies that, instead of actual measurements of different algorithms, a simple heuristic is used to pick a (probably sub-optimal) method quickly.
Measure
finds an optimized method by actually and measuring the execution time of candidate methods, so there may be a pause while this happens. Depending on your machine, this can take some time (often a few seconds). This is a good default option.
Patient
is like Measure, but considers a wider range of algorithms and often produces a “more optimal” method (especially for large convolutions), but at the expense of much longer tuning time (minutes). This option also considers multi-threaded execution, which may be a benefit for longer filters and multiple processors (or even multi-core and perhaps even hyperthreading processors).
Exhaustive
is like Patient, but considers an even wider range of algorithms, including many that are unlikely to be fast, to produce the most optimal calculation method but with a substantially increased tuning time.
Take 1 minute
Finds the best method that it can within a minute for each filter path.
