Overview

Impulsive was a zero-latency dual IR loader plugin developed by 3 Sigma Audio in collaboration with TSE Audio. It was used to load impulse responses (IRs) for guitars and acoustic instruments, especially in conjunction with amp simulators. 

The plugin was designed as a lean, CPU-efficient tool and offered features such as:

• High-pass and low-pass filters
• Phase correction
• Level adjustment
• The ability to mix two IRs

Development and versions

Over the years, 3 Sigma Audio has released several versions of Impulsive and its IR libraries:

• Version 3 introduced a new IR structure with the sound profiles Balanced, Warm, Bright, BrightX, and quadrupled the number of IRs included compared to the first version.
• Version 4 introduced Universal Pickup Support, which allows for perfect sound adjustment to different pickup types (magnetic, piezoelectric, etc.).
• ACE (Acoustic Cabinet Emulation) technology has been further developed and is now standard for all IRs – the explicit labeling has therefore been removed.
