Cabinetron

The Ultimate Impulse Response Loader & Guitar Cabinet Simulator

Delving into the realms of exploration, refinement, intricate mixing, precise EQing, nuanced tone matching, and seamless exporting - Cabinetron stands as a comprehensive toolkit. Beyond its role as an IR (impulse response) loader, Cabinetron emerges as the solution, connecting every dot in the intricate process between your amplifier and the resonance that reaches your ears. With its meticulous cataloging capabilities, it not only organizes but elevates your audio journey, ensuring a harmonious bridge that transcends the ordinary, making every step from your amp to your ears a refined and immersive experience.

Mission One: Sound Quality

While you might have a treasure trove of impulse responses, it's crucial not to squander them on an IR loader that falls short on sound quality.

Believe it or not, every IR loader sounds distinct, even if they share the same algorithm. The key factor here is the rounding errors in convolution DSP codes. The top priority is sound quality. Just like the specialized Adaptive Filter Topologies for the Kirchhoff-EQ, they've crafted a noise-shaping algorithm exclusively for IR convolution in Cabinetron. This ensures that each of your impulse responses not only gets played but resonates authentically, truly 'pushing the air' for a superior sound experience.

Optional Non-linear Enhancement

Convolution nails 99% of a guitar cabinet's simulation, capturing its linear essence. But what about that crucial 1% of nonlinearity?

Cabinetron doesn't just load IRs transparently; it delves into modeling the non-linear dance of the voice coil within the magnet. This amplifies nonlinearity, giving your IRs an authentic cabinet feel and your tone a captivating '3D' depth.

Your call - tweak the parameter or leave it be.

Features

• Browsing - With Cabinetron's integrated IR File Browser, effortlessly manage your IR catalog. No more navigating through a massive collection aimlessly. The specialized file system offers a one-step solution for searching, tagging, favoriting, and organizing multi-paths - boosting efficiency and keeping your focus on the music.

• 400+ IR Presets - Cabinetron offers you over 400 IR presets designed delicately for various genres and styles. They hope that no matter if you are an IR expert, or just stepped into the world of IR’s, will get some flashes of inspiration from their IR presets.

• Editing - Tweak before seeking more IRs with Cabinetron's versatile IR editor. Unleash your creativity in crafting unique guitar tones. Whether comparing or mixing up to 8 iconic cabinet sounds, Cabinetron is your sole tool for making it happen.

• Spectrum Smoothing Technology - Cabinetron enables you to 'smooth' your IR by refining its spectrum. By eliminating 'fuzzy' components, resonant frequencies and phase chaos are notably reduced. You have the option to smooth the IR down to an 'outline' of its frequency response, allowing you to craft your distinctive sound.

• 31 EQ Curve Mutations - Cabinetron is stored with 31 well-crafted guitar EQ curves that give you the ability to adapt your IR to various music styles. With the Mutation knob, you can apply the variations to any of your IR’s, which means you can get 31 different IR’s out of the original one.

• ‘FRED’ Miking Technique Simulation - Experience the real-world 'FRED' miking technique in a simulated form for your IRs with Cabinetron. Easily 'FRED' your tone using a single knob, adjusting the ratio of signals from two microphones set at a 45-degree angle to bring nuanced variations to your recordings.

• Virtual Microphone Positioning - "Not bad. How about we move the mic 1 inch further from the cabinet?" "It's not a real mic. It doesn't move..." In Cabinetron, the IR does move! Adjust the virtual microphone's horizontal 'position' and vertical 'distance' for an added dimension to play with your IRs.

• Speaker Impedance Simulation EQ - In Cabinetron, tackle speaker impedance issues with a 3-band EQ. Adjusting this model based on physical cabinet circuits offsets frequency drifts, giving you the power to enhance your low end with a simple knob twist.

• Auto Phase Alignment - Mixing multiple IRs, especially from different manufacturers, often introduces bothersome phase issues due to varying latencies. Let Cabinetron handle it effortlessly with a single click, automatically aligning them for you.

• Mixing - Mixing the characteristics of different cabinets can be challenging with just sliders. Cabinetron's Dimension Mixer makes it a breeze. Adjust the ratio of each IR by freely dragging your mouse inside the virtual space between them.

• EQing - Playing around with guitar EQ is never easy, but now you have a better tool. Cabinetron features core functionalities of Three-Body Tech’s highly acclaimed equalizer - Kirchhoff-EQ, to turn the tone in your mind into reality.

• Tone Matching - Cabinetron goes beyond the ordinary with a unique feature – Tone Matching. Capture your dream tone by aligning with a 'Reference' spectrum from a track or choosing from over 100 classic presets. Unleash sonic surprises effortlessly.

• Exporting - Cabinetron doesn't stop within its interface; it extends your creations beyond your computer. Everything, from editing to processing, can be exported as a single IR file. This personalized IR, crafted by you, can then be loaded into any other software/hardware IR loader supporting the .wav format.

• More Features - Auto Gain - Automatically balance volume of IR’s, Extreme optimization - Ultra low CPU workload, Double precision & special FFT noise-shaping - Transparent sound quality, Stereo In - Supporting stereo input & Doubler - One-click double tracking simulation

One more thing: Missing IR File Solution

What's more frustrating than losing your project? Losing track of inserted audio files. With Cabinetron, say goodbye to the worry of missing IRs. It saves all loaded IR content and file paths with your project, alerting you to any modifications or changes in file locations. When IR files are missing or edited externally, Cabinetron provides options to continue with the saved content, save as new files, or replace them with available IRs.
