“keFIR” is a VST, zero latency, FIR filter based on impulse responses loaded from wave files. Filter length can be adjusted to maximum of 8K taps.
It has a “mix” knob for mixing input with output, “gain” knob for setting output volume level, “length” knob for setting filter length (you can also set the length by clicking right mouse button on impulse response). Adjusting filter length will linearly affect CPU usage, more taps used require more CPU power. User can optimize it by choosing proper filter length, for example some amp cabinet impulse responses have long tail of ‘almost zero’ coefficients which can be shortened without audible difference, to save some extra CPU cycles.
There are two versions available: mono (keFIR_v1.dll) and stereo (keFIR_v1_2ch.dll).

Stereo-Enhancer is a VST-plugIn for the PC-platform for the modification of the stereo-width of a signal. The adjustment can be made for low, mid and high frequencies seperately. The separation of the frequency-bands is achieved by means of linear-phase FIR-filters. This is, because the sum of the three filtered (not yet modified) signals should sum up exactly to the original signal. From the use of FIR-technology results a quite high CPU-usage, because convolutions have to be implemented - sorry for that. The adjustment of the stereo image itself is based on amplifying/attenuating the difference of the respective channel with the mono-sum. This also implies, that the plugIn can’t be used to create pseudo-stereo signals from mono-signals, as this difference is exactly zero in this case. It’s just a Stereo-Enhancer, not a Stereo-Creator.

Convoluted is a convolver. It mixes the L and R channels in an interesting way.
Convolver is an open source, high performance Windows application for applying FIR filters to multichannel digital audio

Impulsive is a pink noise generator sent through a ten-band filter bank to a simple envelope gate. Playing any MIDI note will generate the burst, which can be, for example, saved to a .WAV file and loaded into the SIR reverb unit.
Effects including thickening, mild
chorus, frequency-dependent, panning, echos and reverb can be created this way.
