vinny199 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi, I like the spring reverb included, but I find it a little "too nice" and warm to some extent. I see on the pdf file that it is not modelled after a specific reverb, but it is a line 6 creation I was wondering if anyone uses IR instead and which ones? Thanks, Vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthedog Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You can't use the IRs in the Helix for reverbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmayfield Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The reason for this is that IRs used for speaker cabinets are very short - up to 2048 samples, which is about 45 milliseconds. Those don't take up much memory space or DSP power. Hall, room, and spring reverbs require much longer IRs (up to several seconds or longer), which means they use much more memory and processing power. It's likely that the reverbs in the Helix are algorithmic - that is, generated on-the-fly instead of measured as an IR. It's possible for programmers to create excellent algorithmic reverbs that use much less processing power than IRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka5par Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This might be an interesting addition to the Helix FX loop:http://www.logidy.com/ If not using VST-s in a computer, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Igloo Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The Logidy EPSi is really, really cool. It supports convolution reverbs (IRs) up to 60,000 samples in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
