Viiri Audio has stepped onto the scene with Aava, a brand new digital creative convolution processor. This plugin allows users to modulate multiple impulse response parameters in real time, opening the door to endless sound qualities. Adjustable details include start time, length, pitch, and timing, while the audio is running, so each change can be heard against the larger backdrop of the full piece.

Four impulse responses can be loaded onto a single sound at once, and all of them have their own set of parameters. These responses can be based on pitch and rhythm to provide considerable freedom in manipulating the sound.

Plus, to keep the workflow smooth, pitched impulse responses can be key-tracked, and rhythmic IRs can be synced to the main tempo. With those foundational elements in place, users can easily play around with the parameters and stumble on happy accidents.

To make more sweeping changes, use Aava’s Explore Map. This handy feature can preserve all the settings on the plugin, which are then routed through an X/Y interface that will alter the full slate evenly.

More granular elements of the plugin include the four modular slots for each impulse response, which can be filled with LFO, Sample & Hold, AD Envelope, AR Envelope, Envelope Follower, or Key Follower. The pitched impulse responses have a six octave range, both up and down. There are also several options for the wet signal, such as low and high pass filters, gain, and a spectral compressor.

Finally, Aava can record impulse responses in real-time as well. So, whatever settings best fit the music can be captured and preserved in the moment.

Aava is available now in CLAP and VST3 formats for Linux, Mac, and Windows. The intro price of 79€ / $79 / £69 will be active until June 15. After that, the price will increase to 99€ / $99 / £89. Prospective buyers can download a fully functional 30-day trial. Learn more at Viiri Audio.
