GigaPulse VST

TASCAM's GigaPulse Pro is a convolution reverb plug-in for Windows. Running under the VST protocol, GigaPulse generates the most lifelike reverberation you've ever heard by using actual recordings made in acoustic spaces. Tascam's breakthrough technology adds microphone modeling, selectable room position and tail extension processing to the convolution engine for detailed control over the reverb sound and added CPU efficiency. But the real revolution is the reverb quality - so realistic that samples, instruments and vocals come to life.

Features:

Acoustic space modeling through convolution
Microphone modeling to subtly alter the character of the modeled room, or use it by itself to emulate classic microphones
Tail extension technology reduces the processing load when you need more instances of the plug-in
Cascade function combines two or more impulses to create a new reverb impulse
User-controlled placement in a virtual room allows the "source" to be moved around relative to the mic position
"Move" the mic using the Perspective slider to control the reverb amount while maintaining phase and imaging
Users can import their own impulse recordings to create new room or processor models

Convolution Engine

Most reverb generators are just a series of digital delays looping together. Convolution offers a new way to produce reverb - it uses an actual recording of a room, much like sampling synthesizers use the recording of a guitar or a drum set to create realistic instrument sounds.

You can import an impulse of any room, signal processor or other device for processing using the GigaPulse plug-in. Anything from ten thousand-dollar studio reverbs to large concert halls can be recorded as an impulse for use in GigaPulse - even tube mic pres, telephones, car interiors or anywhere else your imagination takes you.
