Making Renoises Internal Reverb Load Ir´s

dont know if there would be any (legal)problems with this,(or how hard it is to implement)but wouldent it be an idea to have the internal reverb effects being able to load IR`s??

i know there are some (good) free alternatives to the internal reverb effects,but i think it would be nice to have this feature,i know i would use it.

but what are peoples wiews on this??

btw whats the difference between the mpreverb and the reverb in renoise??

MpReverb: “Reverberation of the sound against roomborders in a larger distance. Imagine your in a room that absorbs all sounds but the room attached to this one does not or a hall where the sounds in your direct surrounding are not bounced but further away they are reverberated, this is a bit the idea of playing an instrument on-stage in a concert hall, or someone in the room next to you is playing an instrument of which the walls do not absorb the sound completely. You can achieve all these situations with this reverb effect.” -

Found in the tutorial pages :)

Doesn’t exactly answer the question though, does it.

No it sadly doesn’t answer the question. I guess you mean Impulses or impulse reverbs when refering to IR’s… or am I wrong?

No. In Renoise there are two plugs.

One is called ‘reverb’, and the other is called ‘mpreverb’

What is the difference between the two?

That is what the question was.

It has different settings. The reverb seems/feels to be based on Freeverb, I don’t know what the mpreverb is based on, but it has some filters and preday built in.

In general sense, the mpreverb and reverb just sound different. :)

Hehe okey my bad :rolleyes: But I think it does answer the question. The Reverb is just an ordinary reverb and the mpReverb is once again:

“Reverberation of the sound against roomborders in a larger distance. Imagine your in a room that absorbs all sounds but the room attached to this one does not or a hall where the sounds in your direct surrounding are not bounced but further away they are reverberated, this is a bit the idea of playing an instrument on-stage in a concert hall, or someone in the room next to you is playing an instrument of which the walls do not absorb the sound completely. You can achieve all these situations with this reverb effect.”

If I understand it correct the mpReverb is a Reverberation that occurs further away…

yes thats what i meant.

and thanx neuRoTIX for the explanation,i still think it would be a good idea if atleast one of the internal reverbs would be able to load IR´s

Shouldn’t be too hard to make a simple impulse response reverb inside renoise, but what’d be cool would be if it’d be really optimized so that it doesn’t kill the cpu.
IR-reverbs in general are good at killing the processor IMO.

Impulse reverbs are pretty specialist plugins IMO. ie. not something you’d expect to see as standard in a DAW (not currently anyway).

Since it’s pretty CPU intensive it will add a fair bit of latency so I doubt it’s possible before renoise has a PDC solution anyway. (Plugin Delay Compensation).

The free version of SIR is pretty good though, I use it fairly regularly in conjunction with Voxengo sample delay to manually sort out the big latency introduced.

i know of the 3rd party plugs,but i really think it would be nice to have atleast one of the internal reverbs able to load IR´s
i know that it will take a little extra cpu,but it does anyway when using the 3rd party plugs

now that taktiks back,would it be something you would be interested in implementing??or have thought about??

the impulse respond reverb in sonar kicks ass … ( coded by voxengo )And it’s rather cpu friendly

It would be interesting if it was implemented in such a way that you can use (and switch between) the loaded samples in the instrument box.

yes,i dont think it would be hard to make a reverb unit that does this for renoise,but would like to hear what the devs think about it???

The question is not: “should Renoise have feature X?”, but rather “where does feature X fit and/or rank in terms of time investments and outcome?”. It’s all about priorities.

I personally consider a native Impulse Reverb to be so way down the priority ladder that I even regard this request to be similar in nature to asking something like “Wouldn’t it be great if Renoise had a native Vocoder?” or “Wouldn’t it be nice if Renoise had it’s own FM synthesizer?” or “What do the developers think of implementing an internal multiband compressor?”.

Check out Freeverb3 which includes an impulse reverb with no latency. Not as good interface as SIR (in my humble opinion) but then again, it’s free.

well i dont think this is first on the list of things to-do

i was just interested in knowing if anyone else thought it was a good idea
did you get the wrong leg out of bed :w00t:
