keFIR
| Description | ||
| "keFIR" is a VST, zero latency, FIR filter based on impulse responses loaded from wave files. Filter length can be adjusted to maximum of 32K taps. It has a "mix" knob for mixing input with output, "gain" knob for setting output volume level, "length" knob for setting filter length (you can also set the length by clicking right mouse button on impulse response). Adjusting filter length will linearly affect CPU usage, more taps used require more CPU power. User can optimize it by choosing proper filter length, for example some amp cabinet impulse responses have long tail of 'almost zero' coefficients which can be shortened without audible difference, to save some extra CPU cycles. There are two versions available: mono (keFIR_v1.dll) and stereo (keFIR_v1_2ch.dll). The plug requires at least Pentium 3 or equivalent (it's highly optimized with SSE code) and Windows OS. | ||
| Version 1.3 - 24 March 2008 | ||
|
- extended filter length to 32768 taps per channel - added left/right channel bypass buttons - fixed problem with length parameter display while setting length using mouse | ||
| Version 1.2 - 28 May 2007 | ||
|
- added automatic gain and length detection during IR loading, now keFIR will try to set best possible gain & length for loaded IR - knobs are now more "readable", exact values are displayed (thanks sinkmusic!) - removed libsndfile dependency, now keFIR has it's own wave file loader which support all uncompressed PCM wave formats (8/16/24/32 bit integers, 32/64 bit floats) - lower CPU usage | ||
| Version 1.1 - 14 May 2007 | ||
|
- upgraded to VST 2.4, will work in Cubase 4 - added stereo version | ||
| Installation | ||
| On WinXP SP2 or later you just need to download & uncompress DLLs into your vst folder. On other Windows versions or if previous method isn't working, you'll have to download & install setup file. | ||
