Interesting. I recently downloaded Reverberate LE - that version doesn't do the modulation that you described. I'd been wondering whether the modulation might detract from the realism of convolution reverb - taking the reverb a step closer to an effect, rather than an attempt at realism - or is that wrong? Perhaps, if done with subtley, it can be better than a completely static convolutin reverb?

Like gmcintire, I too would be interested to hear the kind of results you're getting - especially if, for comparison, you could post an example using the same IR without modulation.

Studiocat,

I'm wondering if you could post something so we could hear what you have done.

This reminds me of when I was playing around with binaural mics in a playing position, and was struck by how much variation there was when moving the mics just a few centimetres. I wondered what it would sound like if I could modulate the position like I would move my upper body and head while playing. A crude approach I tried was separately piping the left and right channels through subtle modulated delays. I rather liked the effect.

I just tried the demo (and then purchased) "Reverberate" from LiquidSonics. It provides some really cool "movement" to PianoTeq. It can load two stereo IR's at once and has delay & modulation. Subtle modulation really warms up the pianos IMHO. I always disable the reverb built into PianoTeq and use a convolution reverb. This is the best sounding one I've used so far. It has a full, free demo and it's pretty cheap if you decide to buy it. I'm not associated with Liquid Sonics and I hope it's O.K. to post this here! -Perry-
