Spring Reverbs. Where are they?

Post by muzikermammoth »

There's this one video from aalborg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_7XDdU_17s

But there isn't any code, and I couldn't find the spring impulse database. Anyone with a spring reverb implementation?

You could find some IR's for spring reverb here:

I don't know if they be any good, haven't used them for now.

I think emulated spring reverbs are a bit of a non-starter. No two real spring units ever sounded the same, and their behaviour changed depending on where they were placed and what orientation - all part of their "charm" :lol:

P.S.
You can still get the real thing... if that's the sound you want.

But have you seen that video? Because the partitioned convolution and impulse response fading is pretty impressive. It's the 54 generated impulse responses that I'd like to try out.

And to be fair, supposedly some of the pedal based spring reverbs use an IR for the spring reverb chirps.

Twangstrom from U-he is the only convincing spring reverb I've heard. Not free but it's native and a remarkable tool.
