I would like to see alternative sources for Impulse Responses in the Convolver DSP device, beyond disk-only. Being able to select a sample/buffer from the samples list from all instruments would be a good start.
This would enable users to truly build and apply impulse responses directly from Renoise without having to go a 3rd party editor.
Example workflow: capture “essence” of modular analog signal path
- Make impulse sample in Renoise, say, 100 samples at 1, the rest at 0. Just a big click.
- Apply sample to track for 8 steps
- Sample the click passing through modular patch
- Select New Sample as IR to Convolver
- Profit
The limits of convolution still apply (linear, time invariant systems… so not all modulations will be captured).
As for the method of Sample selection, I have no specific requirements for this, but I assume the following could help:
- filtering samples in the pool by a search term
- organizing samples in pool by instrument, Set, etc
Sorry if I’ve overlooked existing solutions.
