A Powerful Yet Simple To Use GUI!

The “Fog Convolver” GUI (Graphical User interface) is a fairly self- explanatory one, with adjustable parameters and a waveform display at the top, and the IR browser at the bottom. Controls include:

Pre Delay (0-200ms)

(0-200ms) IR Stretch (0.5-8x)

(0.5-8x) HighPass & LowPass filters (20Hz to 20kHz for each)

& filters (20Hz to 20kHz for each) Separate sliders for Input Gain, Dry Level and Wet Level.

The IR can be further shaped by editing Start and End points, and Fade In and Fade Out slopes with convex/concave Curve adjustment for each.

Usefully, the central waveform display updates to indicate changes made by all parameters, including filters, Pre Delay, IR Stretch, and Fade In/Out, so you can see as well as hear all of your edits.

The Play button enables easy auditioning of the loaded IR, while over on the right, the Rev button reverses it. Meanwhile, the Settings page includes a ‘Load IR only’ option, letting you keep all your interface parameters intact while changing the impulse response. You can add further IRs in WAV format, and export edited IRs as WAV files.

“Fog Convolver” comes with over 250 presets arranged across a number of categories, including:

Designed

Instruments

Objects

Organic

Synths

Spaces

Microphones

Speakers

Gear

So this is a plugin that covers plenty of ground!

True Stereo

By clicking on the Mode box you can select two modes: Normal or True Stereo. True Stereo works by using two stereo impulse responses that are then mixed together.

You can either drag and drop two stereo files into the monitor (L+R) or you can drag separate stereo files (monitor top part for L, bottom for R).

True Stereo impulses are usually recorded simultaneously to capture a better stereo image, but you can also use two unrelated IRs to create experimental stereo reverbs.

Settings Menu

Here you will find a variety of functions which will allow you to customize this plugin even more, including:

Impulse Response Controls (Auto Gain/Limiter)

(Auto Gain/Limiter) GUI Options

Loading/Updating Options

FFT Settings

Start/End Unit Settings

You’ll find that “Fog Convolver” is a simple to use, yet truly powerful plugin that is ideal for weird sound design and experimentation!
