_CONVOLUTION

The following list presents some Convolution Engines/Impulse Response Processors that will be useful as a starting point, especially if you are new to audio convolution.
Please note that we cannot directly verify our IRs with every convolution processor/engine available today, so it is not possible to guarantee compatibility with any particular convolver. We can only report if a convolution engine is "known to work", thanks to users that have successfully tried it with our libraries and informed us.

To be sure that the impulse responses contained in this library are compatible with your favourite convolution engine, you can download the Synaesthesis Demo Wav or Synaesthesis Demo Aiff and try it.

Please contact us and let us know if you have tried Synaesthesis with other convolvers not present in the list below.

Note : If you find that your convolution engine/processor cannot read WAV or AIFF files, don't be afraid. You can simply convert them into a compatible audio format and use all the impulses. If you use a batch process for the conversion, it will take only a few minutes to save the entire collection in a new format.
