Fog Convolver 2 (Upgrade from Fog Convolver 1)

Creative Convolution

True Stereo Convolution

Upgrade Note: This is an upgrade for previous owners of Fog Convolver 1. The full version of Fog Convolver 2 is also available.

Fog Convolver 2 is a true stereo convolution reverb/processor plugin. This new version has been rewritten and redesigned from scratch, and now features modulation, effects, an impulse response generator, and a lot of improvements.

You can now load 2 separate impulse responses (or one true stereo/quad channel impulse response) and have separate or linked controls for both. There are 5 different routing modes to arrange the impulses: single, serial, parallel, parallel mix, and true stereo.

Each impulse can have 2 LFOs, with 10 waveforms and 18 destinations, one dedicated multi-mode filter (with pre, IR, or post modes), and a 5-band graphic EQ.

Fog Convolver features 8 factory banks with more than 660 impulse responses made from spaces, analog and digital equipment, organic sources, and more.

Easy Drag and Drop

You can easily load any audio file (WAV or AIFF) into Fog Convolver with a simple Drag and Drop, or by using the built-in browser. If you drag two files, they will be assigned to IR1 and IR2.

True Stereo

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.

Impulse Generator

If you don’t want to use any previous impulse responses or samples, you can use the built-in impulse response generator to create your own artificial spaces.

8 Banks

Craft Spaces

Reverbs of all kinds, from early digital effect processors to real spaces, including noise sources from vintage synths.

• 211 Impulses

Old Times

Impulse responses from old public domain recordings are divided into 4 categories: 78 RPM, NASA, Radio, and Wax Cylinders.

Most of the samples come from the Internet Archive.

• 40 Impulses

OpenAIR

A selection of impulse responses from the OpenAIR database, including Churches, Halls, Chambers, and an old Nuclear Reactor.

• 83 Impulses

Organic Compounds

Structures were detected using Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to obtain physical, chemical, electronic, and structural information about molecules.

• 45 Impulses

Polarity

Custom impulse responses made by “Bitwig Guru” Polarity using white noise, Dirac samples, granulators, and many many modulations.

• 67 Impulses

Test Equipment

Noise, glitch, and tone impulse responses are made using only test equipment (Hainbach style!).

• 45 Impulses

Unusual

As the name implies, all kinds of objects, instruments, electronics, and organic samples are used to create spaces, echoes, drones, and unique tones.

• 108 Impulses

Vintage Mics

How Does Convolution Work?

Convolution works by applying the sonic character of an impulse response to another sound in real-time. You can use Fog Convolver to add reverberation, create special effects, and apply an acoustic impulse captured from audio equipment.

An impulse response is a recording of the output that is caused by an acoustic space or electronic gear when an impulse is played (electric spark, starter pistol shot, boards clap, or the bursting of a balloon).
