Convolution for Creative Sound Design
The Kilohearts Convolver reverb effect plug-in offers much more than reverb for adventurous sound designers. This convolution plug-in comes with a wide range of impulse responses that range far beyond acoustic spaces, and you can load your own impulse responses for custom-designed sounds. What can you do with convolution besides reverb? Here at Sweetwater, we've convolved a voice with an impulse response of a growling animal to create menacing monster sounds. You can also convolve drums with the impulse response of machinery to create robotic-sounding mechanical drones, and pretty much anything else your imagination can cook up. Convolver works as a plug-in for your DAW, or as part of Kilohearts' Snapin modular sound design environment. However you use it, never-before-heard sound effects are easy to achieve with Kilohearts Convolver.

Build a massive modular sound design system with Snapin plug-ins
On their own, Kilohearts plug-ins are formidable production and mixing tools. But when integrated using Kilohearts Snapin hosts — Snap Heap, Multipass, and Phase Plant — they evolve into a powerhouse modular sound design system. As the name implies, Kilohearts Snapin plug-ins literally “snap” into the Snapin hosts, allowing you to build massive processing chains and offering numerous ways to modulate parameters, stack effects in series or parallel, and creatively manipulate chains via automation and MIDI — all in a streamlined environment. Snap Heap arms you with four independent effects lanes, assignable envelope generators and LFOs, and the ability to control numerous parameters simultaneously with user-defined macros. Multipass ups the ante on the Snap Heap formula by including a frequency band splitter, which enables you to apply dedicated effects to individual frequency bands. For instance, you can completely transform a stock synth pad by saturating the low end and collapsing it to mono for more focus and heft, while adding a subtle chorus to the midrange frequencies and bathing the high frequencies in a pitch-shifting delay. Finally, Phase Plant combines Snapin plug-in functionality with an award-winning semi-modular soft synth to create a virtual instrument with unparalleled flexibility. With more than 30 Snapin plug-ins available, you’re free to assemble limitless combinations of effects that will color your productions with totally unique sounds!
Note: Kilohearts’ Snap Heap is available for free. Multipass and Phase Plant are sold separately.
