Planetary Convolution by PerforModule
Distinct flavors of reverb based on the astronomical theme of planetary bodies.
The Impulse Responses – Includes thirteen LR and one MS .aif impulse response which are used for the Planetary Convolution racks. You can feel free to use the raw IRs with any convolution loading plugin or DAW directly, or load up the custom racks in Ableton Live for extra functionality.
Shorter IRs:
- Earth — 750ms
- Eris — 430ms
- Makemake — 209ms
- Mars — 1.07sec
- Mercury — 720ms
- Pluto — 270ms
- Venus — 770ms
Longer IRs:
- Ceres — 1.87sec
- Haumea — 4.19sec
- Jupiter — 25.93sec
- Neptune — 1.23sec
- Saturn — 3.4sec
- Uranus — 2.06sec
The Ableton Live Effect Racks – Expand Ableton Live 9’s Convolution Reverb capabilites in your production library beyond the built-in(s) with thirteen new distinct flavors. These Audio Effect Racks automatically load their associated Planetary Convolution IRs upon being opened, with built-in macro mapping to key parameters as well as special effect controls which do something unique for each planet. Each rack has seven common controls, which include the essential dry/wet control, a tone knob which sculpts a different custom EQ curvature for each planet, distance, pre-delay, chorus, and stereo width. The custom effects, one for each planet, are…
- Gravel
- Dirt
- Eccentric
- Anger
- Liquid
- Interior
- Scorch
- Jagged Bloom
- Oblong
- Rings Twirl
- Storm Swirl
- Frost
- Vapor
For Use In Other DAWs – The IRs were created by using Ableton’s built-in reverb with custom-crafted settings built from scratch for each planet, then further filtered and effected. Due to their digital source nature and lack of noise or gating, the decay tails of the these IRs are extremely smooth. In a way, these IRs may provide one with access to Ableton’s reverb algorithm (to limited extent) in other DAWs.
What Is Convolution Reverb Good For… And Why Planets? – Convolution reverbs can be ideal for imposing “the feel of a particular place” on an audio source. While effective at shifting the vibe of an ambiance, due to their lack of adaptivity, they do tend to impart a bit of a “cold” feeling. Since space measures very cold, and most of our planets (so far as we can tell) appear devoid of life, the feel of the cold, desolate, lonely void of space seemed like a perfect setting for convolution processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. The IR files are provided as standard .aif format, so you can load them into any convolution reverb plugin or DAW that accepts impulse responses, completely independent of Ableton Live.
The pack includes thirteen stereo LR impulse responses and one MS impulse response, all in .aif format. Each IR is named after a planetary body in our solar system, ranging from very short (around 209ms for Makemake) to very long (nearly 26 seconds for Jupiter).
They were crafted using Ableton Live’s built-in reverb algorithms and then re-sculpted into pristine impulse responses, giving each one a distinct character that goes beyond typical room or hall captures.
You get thirteen convolution reverb presets, the full set of .aif IR files for use anywhere, and pre-built Ableton Live Audio Effect Racks that load the IRs with additional functionality built in.
Planetary Convolution is well suited to ambient, cinematic, electronic, and experimental production where unusual, spacious reverb textures are needed. The range of decay times, from under 300ms to over 25 seconds, means it covers everything from subtle spatial colouring to enormous, otherworldly washes.
The IR files themselves require no Max for Live licence and can be used freely in any compatible environment. The pre-built Ableton Effect Racks rely on Live’s native Convolution Reverb device, so check that your version of Live includes that device before purchasing.
Important Information
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – April 2018
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
