RTA – Mimo Convolver

Overview

Convolution is the process of multiplying the frequency spectra of our two audio sources—the input signal and the impulse response. By doing this, frequencies that are shared between the two sources will be accentuated, while frequencies that are not shared will be attenuated. This is what causes the input signal to take on the sonic qualities of the impulse response, as characteristic frequencies from the impulse response common in the input signal are boosted.

Configure Mimo convolver with Plugins

Open RTA-> Settings-> Plugins

Click Browse to select the xAF library

Set Port number in the port number textbox

If Bypass is selected, then input is fed to output without processing

On click of Apply, updated no. of inputs, no. of outputs and plugin type appears

Switch to MIMO Convolver tab

Set No. of Inputs/ Outputs

Set Filter taps

User can configure coefficients in 2 ways

  • Configure coefficients in Panel
  • Configure coefficients through Virtual prediction

Configure coefficients in Panel

Click on Configure Coefficients

Convolver panel launches with 2*2 filters

Tune coefficients by setting them to Flat or by importing via csv/xml files.

Click on Tune, after assigning coefficients

A toast message “Tuning applied” appear

Configure Coefficients through Virtual prediction

Click on Measurement Coefficients

Virtual Tuning window appears

Click Apply after selecting Measurement session from drop down

Switch to Routing tab

Set inputs to Plugin Host

Eg:Generator1 and Generator2

Set inputs to MIMO Convolver

Eg1:PluginHost1 and PluginHost2, if output of Plugin Host is fed to MIMO Convolver

Eg2:Generator1 and Generator2, if generator is fed to MIMO Convolver

Switch to Analyzer tab, to select plugin host, MIMO convolver output as channel source

Set Channel source

Eg:Generator1, PluginHost1, MimoConvolver1 to display in chart

Click Done, once settings are updated

Analyzer View

 Connect to device through Plugin Host. Follow steps as given here.

Open Channels, assign channels to Graph A and Graph B

Chart with outputs of Genertor1, PluginHost1 and MimoConvolver1 appears
