Testimonial I recently purchased Pristine Space and Voxformer and I am totally delighted with the quality and the astonishing value for money.  I'm a professional composer, but I do resent having to shell out hundreds of pounds for the likes of Waves, when there are products the standard of Voxengo about- and which are easily as good as, if not better then Waves anyway! So thanks for your work,products and customer service - I think it makes such a difference dealing with a smaller company, rather than big faceless ones. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland (with a growing Polish community!) and I'm delighted to support an excellent company like Voxengo.  Thanks again, and keep up the great work.

Pristine Space is a native audio plug-in which allows you to use convolution reverb impulses in your audio projects.

Pristine Space was mainly created for impulse reverb perfectionists: it does not implement various `combo' approaches which try to save CPU cycles by creating a synthetic reverb tail instead of performing a full convolution.  Because such approaches in many cases give unsatisfactory results if you expect them to sound exactly like your original reverb impulse sounds, we have decided not to use them.  Instead, we have optimized to the maximum both the efficiency of convolution processing and the plug-in's latency.

Pristine Space is a 8-channel convolution processor.  Each channel is independent of the others, making it possible to use Pristine Space in various surround configurations.  It also allows the user to apply a `true stereo' kind of processing, where each stereo channel uses its own reverb impulse (requiring 4 convolution channels in total).  Sound designers and the like may find Pristine Space's serial convolution processing feature (which allows one to process the sound with several impulses in sequence) useful.

While Pristine Space does not offer various radical impulse transformation features, it still offers several very useful envelope-driven non-destructive impulse editing options, including volume, stereo width, stereo pan, low-pass and high-pass filtering, and a linear-phase equalization.  You can also reverse, cut and time offset the loaded impulse file with ease, non-destructively.

By the way, Pristine Space can work with a latency as low as 64 samples (1.5 ms at 44.1kHz), making it possible to use it during tracking.

This page of our web site offers you freely-downloadable impulse reverb files: Free Reverb Impulses.

www.noisevault.com is a good source for impulses.

Cyber Kitchen Sound Design Enterprise (C.K.S.D.E.) from Switzerland offers you the following impulse responses which you can use freely in your audio projects.  These impulses come in 44.1kHz/16 bit resolution.  You may get more impulses in much higher resolution from CKSDE.

• CKSDE Reverbs 1
• CKSDE Reverbs 2
• CKSDE Springs
• CKSDE Analog Delay 1
• CKSDE Analog Delay 2

(please do not redistribute these promotional CKSDE impulses on your own)

You may also evaluate the following 'effect' impulses presented by Virtuasonic:

Don't forget to check our Impulse Modeler out.  It allows you to create custom reverb impulses of the highest quality.

Deconvolver is also an essential tool if you want to create your own real space, hardware or speaker impulses.

Version 1.8, 28-apr-2008
Issue fixed which caused the latest version to crash in Cubase SX 2 and 3.  As a drawback, Impulse Modeler integration had to be removed.

Version 1.7.3, 24-apr-2008
Minor fixes.

Version 1.7.2, 01-sep-2007
Access violation error on systems with >2GB memory solved.

Version 1.7, 22-may-2007
Denormalization issue that could cause crackles and drop-outs fixed.

Version 1.6.1, 08-jan-2007
Fixed issue with multi-channel operation under Cubase 4.

Version 1.6, 13-feb-2006
A major zero-latency processing mode issue fixed.

Version 1.5, 11-oct-2005

• Volume envelope readout changed - instead of percent value, dB value is displayed now.
• "Show Chn" selector implemented which allows to specify which channel of the impulse response to display.
• "Show Mode" selector implemented allowing you to choose which impulse response stage to display - originally loaded response, or envelope-adjusted one.
• Minor issue fixes.

Version 1.4, 21-mar-2005

• Minor issues fixed.
• A special advanced "Latency +512" global option added.  Before using this option please read a special section of the user's manual about it.
• Number of available preset slots increased to 64.

Version 1.3, 18-oct-2004

• Minor fixes to the search paths mechanism implemented.
• Convolution processing optimized when short impulse is loaded.
• Fixes to built-in impulse resampling function implemented.
• Additional slot linking switch added.  This switch links Length and Gain settings of a slot to another slot.

Version 1.2, 19-jul-2004

• Various minor bugfixes.
• Multi-channel impulse file support implemented (including wave extensible file format).
• Dry and Wet levels of all convolution channels can be automated now.
• Impulse loading and recalculation speed increased.
• AIFF file format support added.
• Impulse response resampling functionality implemented.  Now Pristine Space will automatically resample any impulse response if its sample rate differs from the host sample rate.  It is suggested that you use any external resampling program (e.g.  r8brain) to reduce impulse loading times.
• Convolution channel's signal flow diagram info panel added.
• Search paths implemented.  These are useful when you have a situation where you load some old project which uses impulse response file which is not available in the original folder anymore.  To resolve this situation simply assign the path where this impulse resides now to one of the search paths and Pristine Space will automatically locate this impulse file for you.
• Slot, Envelope and convolution channel linking rules have been changed.  Now, if some slot/envelope/channel is linked to another slot/envelope/channel the latter cannot be linked itself to another slots/envelopes/channels.  This was done to exclude circular linking which may cause unpredictable performance.  Previously created presets/settings will be checked against this rule and all unacceptable links will be reset to "---".
• Now, impulse response slot which was linked to another slot will derive the internal auto gain value from that slot.  This way it is possible to use split-channel impulse sets seamlessly, having auto gain value synchronized to a single slot.
• Unavailable audio input/output channels will be now hidden from the Aud In and Aud Out choice lists.

Version 1.1, 15-mar-2004

• A major bug fixed which could cause random crashes.
• Denormal issue which happened when using the Low quality was fixed.
• Pan envelope added.
• Convolution channel linking logic has been changed.  Now, when some [slave] channel is linked to another [master] channel, slave channel's Wet and Dry gain controls will specify slave channel's gain values relative to master channel's gain values.
• Added "zero latency" processing mode.  It can be enabled on the global settings screen.
• The left and right arrow buttons were added to allow quick-scrolling through the impulses.
• Now, Offset, Delay and Length controllers won't be reset when the impulse file changes.
• Now, convolution channels without assigned impulses will be bypassed instead of muted.
• The "Link To" selector button added which allows to link slot's Offset and Delay controls to another slot.
• Now, impulse file loading/recalculation process won't interrupt the audio processing.  However, display updates may become a little slower.
