Convolution Engines

The following list is all Convolution Engines/Impulse Response Processors that Spirit Canyon Audio is aware of, and an indication of whether we have received reports of compatibility with our impulse response libraries. If we are missing a convolver, please contact us and let us know.

PLEASE NOTE: we do not and cannot own all of these products, so we cannot guarantee compatibility with any particular convolver. We also cannot guarantee this information is up to date or accurate, because it is based solely upon user reports.

For best results, please download the Spectral Relativity Demo, the Kaleidoskopy Demo, or the Sanitarium Demo and try it with your own IR engine.

Prosoniq Rayverb VST-PC, VST-Mac Totally innovative "space modeling" reverb processor, for both Mac and PC, that has the ability to take an IR and 'model it'. It's not convolution but it can still leverage IRs. Very unique. Yes
SIR - Super Impulse Response VST-PC Free high quality general-purpose convolution engine. Yes
Emagic Space Designer Emagic Logic Plugin for the Emagic Logic series of sequencer/DAW software, with nice configurability. Yes
Elevayta Convo Boy VST-PC Easy to use convolution engine, with minimal controls. Yes
Convolver DX-PC Interesting open-source convolution engine for DirectX and command line. Yes
Tascam GigaPulse VST-PC Convolution engine with some innovative features like impulse morphing. Yes
RealReverb Studio VST-PC, DX, and Winamp Interesting convolution engine with 'matrix convolution', whatever that is. Also has a Winamp plugin available. Yes
Red State Sound RevolVerb VST-PC Nice simple convolution engine with zero latency and unlimited IR size. Yes
Sony Media Software Acoustic Mirror DX One of the original convolution plugins. Nicely configurable but a bit inefficient. Yes
Magix Samplitude PC DAW software that includes a convolution feature. Yes
Adobe Audition PC DAW software that includes a convolution feature. Yes
HOG PC Windows program that provides a variety of non-realtime audio processing tools, including convolution. Yes
Steinberg Nuendo PC, Mac Full-featured multitrack sequencer/DAW software that includes Acoustic Stamp convolver.

NOTE: this plugin has a 12-second maximum impulse response limit, which means a few Spectral Relativity impulses will be truncated.
Yes
Audioease Altiverb VST-Mac, RTAS-Mac, MAS, AU High quality convolution reverb for the Macintosh.

NOTE: requires all stereo WAV files to be converted into L and R Sound Designer II files before they can be used.
Yes
Bias Peak Mac DAW software that includes a convolution feature called ImpulseVerb.

NOTE: some (but not all) users have reported that WAV files must be converted to AIFF before use in ImpulseVerb, so your mileage may vary.
Yes
Waves IR-1 VST-PC, VST-Mac, DX, RTAS-PC, RTAS-Mac, MAS Highly configurable impulse reverb.

NOTE: has a significant limitation - a 6-second maximum IR limit, which means many of the Spectral Relativity impulses will be truncated. All of Kaleidoskopy and most of Sanitarium will work with IR-1, however.
Yes
WizooVerb W2 VST-PC, VST-Mac, RTAS-PC, RTAS-Mac, AU Powerful multi-technology reverbs that includes convolution. Yes
WizooVerb W5 VST-PC, VST-Mac, RTAS-PC, RTAS-Mac, AU Same as WizooVerb W2 but with 5.1 surround capabilities. Yes

Gleetchplug Malestrom Mac Plugin convolver for the Macintosh. Looks to be something to use with Pluggo, but I'm not certain. Unknown
SoundHack Mac Powerful audio file DSP processor. Includes a convolution feature of some kind. Unknown
MacFOH Mac Innovative convolution-based product for 'tuning the room' for live concert engineers. Can load external IRs but it is unclear what use this would be for Spirit Canyon Audio customers. Unknown
Csound Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac Powerful audio processing language and platform. Capable of convolving two signals together given the right Csound programming. Unknown
Ace of WAV PC Audio editing software that purports to have a 'convolve' function, but is in fact just an FIR filtering mechanism. No apparent way to convolve two files together. No
