Essential Information About Convology XT Software
- Massive impulse library captured at 96 kHz / 24-bit from 126 vintage hardware units: plates, springs, DSP 80/90, tape echoes, amps, and more.
- Professional convolution engine with low latency, zero-latency mode, support for "true stereo," and IR length up to 2 million samples (about 40 seconds at 48 kHz).
- Ultra-fast navigation with instant preset preview during playback, clear interface with real-time analyzer and visuals of vintage machines.
- Advanced IR editing: stretch, time inversion, envelope, EQ, decay time scaling and frequency-dependent decay, plus integrated modulation.
What Convology XT Is For
Convology XT is a convolution reverb designed to faithfully recreate the colors and spaces of legendary studio units. Ideal for mixing (silky plates, snappy springs, iconic DSP 80/90), post-production, and sound design, it enriches vocals, drums, guitars, synths, or ambiances with an authentic vintage signature while perfectly fitting into a modern workflow.
Main Features
Navigation and Workflow
An efficient browser allows browsing vast collections and chaining presets on the fly during playback. IR loading is instantaneous, and the interface clearly displays essential parameters for quick testing and fast decisions in mixing situations.
Audio Quality and Engine
The convolution engine offers CPU-efficient processing, low latency and zero-latency modes, as well as authentic "true stereo" when using 4-channel IRs. The real-time analyzer and temporal display help visualize the reverb's impact within the context of the track.
Sound Design
Beyond simple reproduction, the integrated IR editor offers stretch, inversion, amplitude envelope, EQ, and global or frequency-dependent decay adjustments. Modulation adds movement and depth without losing the character of the original impulses.
Openness and Compatibility
Convology XT loads IRs in WAV and AIF formats, including third-party "true stereo" 4-channel IRs (L, R, L->R, R->L). The physical plates, historic DSPs, springs, and tape echoes in the collection provide an immediately usable palette.
