5 weird things to try with Convolver

"You could record your own voice singing a song" (to open Pandora's box) "then use that recording as an impulse response and sing it again.." (summoning Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and their brothers for the apocalypse). It's a toy that grabs you for hours.

It seems like completely sensible behaviour to me ;) /George

Just drag a very short saw chord Sample into the convolver, and.. voila!... Now you can make *"melodic riddim"* bass with that convolver

[@Kilohearts]

Big fun! And there are a few such chord IRs in the "Synthetic" folder :) /George

You guys kick ass!!!

Can we get a phase knob added to it? I can't use the mix knob half the time without it cancelation

[@Kilohearts]

Unfortunately, that's kind of the nature of the beast with this kind of effect and a mix-knob. You're going to introduce some kind of phase cancellation when blending two related signals together like this. It's to be used according only to your taste, for sure. Not exactly a 'phase knob', but a colleague in our development team has informed me it would be at least possible to implement some kind of linear phase version of Convolver... but we've got no current plans to do so. It would mean losing basically all the tail of all the IRs and they'd behave more or less like EQ curves, if I understand correctly (which I'm honestly absolutely not sure I do). /George

When we can expect Phaseplant 2?

[@shrammstorm]

as well as linear phase multipass!

[@Kilohearts]

We're hard at work on our major system overhaul update, including serious modulation improvements across the ecosystem. We'll be getting it out as soon as it's ready, but not before, and I dare not even guess at a precise date at present. It's great to know you're excited for it though! Makes us all feel good about working even better on it! Best, /George

[@Kilohearts]

@@shrammstorm Currently no plans to speak of on this, but we agree there's a lot to recommend it as an idea! Wouldn't it be cool!? Best, /George

[@shrammstorm]

@@Kilohearts That's why I love you so much, guys! Your plugins look deceptively simple, but they can be used to assemble some crazy complicated stuff. Multipass allows us to do things that before were damn difficult or impossible at all (for example, when mixing live drum multitracks). And personally for me the only thing that complicates the work when mixing (or makes me stop using Multipass) is the phase shift. Because it's very annoying to calculate the delay every time and it negates the whole concept of fun working with MP. I would even accept that linear phase mode only worked with static crossovers

mmmh convolver🤤 such a delicious pice of sonic cake!

[@KozmykJ]

Sclunky, Flompy and Piaowwy eh ? ...

[@Kilohearts]

Yes. Exactly. Amongst other things ;) /George

[@ethnicalbert]

Huge fan of phaseplant and snapheap. But I have to say convolver is my least favourite sounding convolution plugin :/ a dull metalic sound

[@gamesandsht4134]

The software itself adds no character to the sound, every convolver sounds the same with the same IR, you probably just don't like the IRs that it comes with
