Convology XT is a free convolution reverb, the result of a collaboration between Impulse Record and Wave Arts. Convology XT comes with 70+ impulse responses, lets the user quickly step through presets, and has tons of IR modification features. Users who want more IRs can purchase any of the affordable 14 IR libraries from Impulse Record with samples of most every reverb DSP, plate, spring, and delay every built.
The Convology XT Complete Library is focused on vintage reverb effects. Responses were sampled from 126 different pieces of vintage studio gear from studios all over the world. There are 10 separate libraries: 80s-90s DSP 1 Basic, 80s-90s DSP 2 Classic, 80s-90s DSP 3 Pro, Plates, Springs Bright, Springs Boingy, Springs Warm, Echo Space, Vintage Amps, and Vintage German DSP. The libraries are affordably priced.
The Convology XT True Stereo Library consists of 4-channel true stereo impulse responses. There are 4 separate true stereo libraries: True Stereo 1 through 4, featuring both pro DSP gear, and plates and springs.
The plug-in features an easy to use interface to browse through the libraries, allowing the user to quickly step through presets and audition on the fly while the music is playing. Despite being free, Convology XT is a world class convolution reverb, with CPU efficient processing, low latency and zero latency modes, max IR length of 2M samples (40 sec at 48 kHz), support for true stereo responses, support for WAV and AIF files, and modulation. There are also extensive IR modification functions, including stretch, decay time scaling, EQ, frequency-dependent decay time scaling, time reverse, and amplitude envelope. And a cool UI with real time spectrum, time display, and images of the vintage gear.

Is this supposed to be free? Or a free version? It pulls up a nag screen in my DAW and locks up the whole program saying the evaluation period is over? What gives with that?
Read ReviewThere seems to be an issue with Convology XT regarding recall. When I use a third party IR in a project the settings will not be properly recalled once I close and open again the DAW project. It will instead load an IR from the included list of presets, but not the proper third party IR. Also, If I create a user preset in the designated folder and save, it will be saved but gone once the current project is closed.
My specs: Windows OS, Cubase 10.5, VST 3 version of Convology XT.
These problems might have been fixed in the latest update version 1.21.
Re free version, there's something amiss about the Wave Arts one. You should go to Impulse Records and out the free one in your cart and checkout. They will send you a free version serial code. Works fine for me.
