Impulse Modeler 1.6 (c) by Voxengo
[ This is an amazing tool for those who use convolution reverberators
(e.g. Sonic Foundry Acoustic Mirror, SIR) in their soundworks. This
tool will help you to design your own room impulse responses ranging
from small rooms to large echo halls to small "intimate" cabinets to
echoing soundscapes. You have the opportunity to design materials and
room's geometry. There is a bunch of other settings too. These are
room's size which really alters perceived size, density control which
allows to create maximally dense reverbs, "random seed" parameter
which allows to create endless number of variations of the same room
design. You can also set output sample rate and bit depth. After you
have designed your room you just need to press "Generate" button and
after a while a freshy WAV file will be ready to be loaded into any
convolution reverberator for your listening pleasure. We want to
emphasize that Impulse Modeler is an artistic tool. It was designed
mainly for musicians, sound designers and sound engineers. If you are
looking for reverbs you cannot get anywhere that are maximally
convincing and easily controllable, Impulse Modeler is a tool for
you. As for Impulse Modeler usage, everything is very simple. You
just modela room from the "top" view placing vertices and
interconnecting them with the walls, put one to several impulse
emitters that "throw" rays into various directions specified by the
emitting cone (showed as a partial pie) and finally you put a wall
that recepts rays (showed with a dashed line). When ray touches this
"recepting" wall, that ray will be reflected in the final impulse
response file. Everything is that simple. ]
