Krakatau Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 These are 3 tuned samples to be used as I.R in space designer The two last are a variation of the thirst one, through MDA detune ( "flanged"...the one of the mp3 demo) or Madshifta ( "fired" ...a long feedback delay with a very slight up transposition ) They are raw samples actually, It is of your own to filter some high frequencies, or anything, and shorten then ( they are until 6 seconds long ) by some volume or filter enveloppes Here an example of a use in situation using the EXS24 ( "stereo grand" factory preset:) http://www.anak-krakatoa.net/~downl/misc/pianodrones.mp3 These I.R. are to be recommanded for any monophonic music ( like indian classical music ) based, in the case, on a "C" pure or tempered major scale without, or with a very few and transitory modal transpositions As in the middle of the mp3 example, you'll hear a short passage of a modal transposition in "A" ( relative minor scale of "C" ) but mixed with a faded down resonnance in order to let the "A" dominates the overall harmony a while... Feedback is welcome. C_stretched.wav.zip C_flanged.wav.zip C_fired.wav.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleos Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks so much. These are right up my alley. What do I do with them? Put them in the I.R. folder like usual? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakatau Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 exactly If you own space designer, just load the sample as IR, then use the low-pass knob ( i wouldn't recommand the filter enveloppe ) and/ or the amplitude envelope, as suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleton Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 thanks for these great IRs Krakatau! here is a Channel Strip that uses one ("C_fired") to create an ambient swelling drone. very atmospheric! the Channel Strip starts with an airy pad from Sculpture. you can change the timbre of the drone somewhat by changing Sculpture presets or using a different instrument but the drone is largely colored by the IR. the first Space Designer uses the "C_fired" IR (you will need to download this IR. i didn't include it) i reversed the IR (by activating the "Reverse" button) and i changed the sample rate down (by changing the "sample rate" parameter from "orig" to "/2") the sample rate change pitches the IR down one octave which adds "fullness" to the sound (try this trick to add "fullness" to vocals) the sample rate change also changes the length of the IR file (from 6s to 12s) the second Space Designer is a reverb (very wet) it uses an IR called "056 Immense Mosque" this is an IR that was part of Logic v6 and i think its now called "6.6s_Palace.SDIR" (in Application Support/Logic/Impulse Responses/18 Concert Halls & Theaters) if Logic can't find the right IR i've included "056 Immense Mosque" just in case BE CAREFUL!!! because this Channel Strip uses a reversed 12 second IR notes that you play won't sound for awhile. DON'T play a big chord and hear nothing then play a bunch more notes because 12 seconds later...ouch!!! it's best to play very simple slow parts (see picture below) ENJOY!!! drone swell.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Da Devo Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Sorry to be a domkopf, but what does one do with an IR? how do you use them, what are their application? What are they for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakatau Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sorry to be a domkopf, but what does one do with an IR? how do you use them, what are their application? What are they for? In short : - an IR is to be loaded into a convolution reverb (like Space Designer) usually to recreate a natural space, and in our particular case, to create an effect similar to sympathetic strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Da Devo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I see. Can you modify the parameters of the space one loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakatau Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 I see. Can you modify the parameters of the space one loaded? Yes and no, You may impose to your IR some amplitude or filter enveloppes for instance, but i will quickly denaturate the emulation of a natural space This is an inherent lack of flexibility to this kind of process : - seeking the emulation of an existing natural space, you'll need to find the IR that matches your need as closer as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
