Klevgränd’s Revolv distinguishes itself by using only IRs recorded from real locations, ranging from concert halls and cathedrals to stairwells, bathrooms, and industrial spaces. Each IR captures the actual acoustic behavior of the location, including its unique resonances, reflection patterns, and ambient noise characteristics. The plugin allows adjustment of decay time, size scaling, and EQ, but these modifications are applied to the real IR rather than generating new algorithmic spaces.
The plugin is iPad-exclusive as an AUv3 with standalone support, optimized for the larger screen with detailed IR visualization. Within hosts like AUM or Cubasis, users can blend multiple IRs by loading separate instances. The included IR library covers diverse spaces, with expansion packs available for specific location types.
User discussions on the Klevgränd user group note that the real IRs, while authentic, include the ambient noise of the original recording locations, which can be undesirable in clean mixes. Some users also report that the size scaling, when pushed beyond reasonable limits, introduces artifacts not present in algorithmic scaling.
Key features include:
- Convolution reverb with real location IRs
- Recordings from actual physical spaces
- Adjustable decay, size scaling, and EQ
- Preserve original location characteristics
- Expansion packs for specialized space types
