Loopop has released Convolution Playground Free Edition, a new app that turns audio files into effects. It offers ten distinct ways to design an impulse response. These range from reverse blooms and drawn echoes to chord bodies, filter sweeps, vowels, spectral delays, reverbs, and rain.

Key Features

The app includes built-in sounds, so you can start experimenting right away. You can also drag in your own audio or select Live audio to process an instrument. For visual feedback, it switches between Waveform, Frequency response, and Waterfall views. This helps you understand what you hear.

Importantly, your imported audio stays on your device. This ensures privacy and local processing. The free version includes all sound-design controls and a Listen to IR function. However, exporting your impulse responses as WAV files is reserved for WaveShafer members on Patreon.

Availability and Pricing

Convolution Playground Free Edition is available now. It is completely free to download and use. The export feature requires a WaveShaper membership. Existing WaveShaper members can access the export-enabled edition directly.

Loopop also provides a video tutorial for the app. This helps users get started with the various IR design methods. The tool is suitable for sound designers, producers, and musicians looking to create unique effects.

In summary, this free app offers a practical way to explore convolution effects. Its ten design methods and local processing make it a valuable addition to any sound design toolkit. The only downside is the lack of WAV export in the free tier.
