Organizing imported impulses in ReMatrix

I love ReMatrix Solo, but I would like to be able to organize the impulses that I import. ReMatrix has all its factory impulse files in a single file with an .rir extension on the system drive. When you import impulses, it puts them all together into a file called user.rir. You can open the file with Notepad, but it's a very long un formatted stream of wing dings with some file names buried in it.

As an example, I've imported most of the Perfect Space impulses. When I want to use one them ReMatrix presents me with a long list of names in no particular order. The factory impulses are organized by type, and I want to do the same with imported impulses.

Yeah I will have to agree with this. The loading of your own IR is almost a joke. I have a lot of mine sorted into different folders nested inside folders and on and on. I have 44k, 48k, 96k, Halls, Rooms, Plates, Churches, and on and on. All in folders. I have to open every folder to put them in the "User" option of ReMatrix. After loading about 20-30 IR, I quit. It wasn't worth the time.
 
ReMatrix does sound good though. But being a "lite" version, I think we got what we got and that's a wrap. : (

Bump...
 
Has anything developed on this?

 
Unfortunately, no. Does anyone know if the full version offers better preset management?
 
What I do for now is a pretty klunky workaround, as described in one of the release eZines. Basically, I have several user.rir files with different types of impulses. I rename the ones I'm not using to user.rix and then REmatrix recognizes only the file I want.
 
However, note that if you try to open a project with REmatrix that references a particular IR file and it can't find the file, you might be greeted with a freeze.

I just contacted overloud via their support form pointing them to this thread. It's a good plugin sadly let down by limited preset management. I'm hoping they can send cakewalk an update.

t'would be so nice...   I think Rematrix Solo is my favorite reverb at the moment.   
 

For user IRs, I continue to rely on MMultiBandConvolution which is often on sale for 50% off. No special import process, the plug-in reads IRs from OS folders.

Yes, rename or delete "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Overloud\REmatrix Solo\userIRs.rir"
An empty file will be created the next time the plug-in is launched.
 
For the curious, the file is a sqlite3 database.

Yeah, I went so for as to download a browser for sqlite databases. I didn't find it helpful, probably due to my own ignorance about the formats of these kinds of databases.

I did the same thing. I have the full version. The factory db has a number of fields that the user db doesn't have, one of which was something like 'bank' which has categories like voices, drums, etc. I was thinking I might be able to 'edit' the user db, but it doesn't look like you have all the fields.
 

I think some of the Melda Production UIs make them look more complicated than they really are.
I did some beta for them and they are pretty solid and sound good, but my go to has been REmatrix since it was added to Sonar.
I would upgrade but it seems high with all the other reverbs I have. lol
 
I haven't had the issue with saving impulses yet, but I'm sure I will sooner than later.

If the full version had the possibility of organizing user presets, I might buy it just for that. Craig Anderton asked the question above, but no one replied. Does anyone know if the full version is different?

I have the full version and it's not appreciably different in terms of preset/impulse management. The presets and impulses are separated by headers, and you can make banks of presets, but it's really just a long list with no good sorting/filtering capabilities.
 
I absolutely love the full version, but the preset system is pretty bad. They really need a way to categorize and sort. I'd love a way to filter by attributes like time and such.

I stand by my first post in this thread. ReMatrix is a really good convolution plug. The UI is great except the adding/managing of my own IR.

I am guessing/speculating the reason Overloud is doing this is to sell IR for the plug.

I own just about everything Overloud has. (If you like old school spring reverb, check out their "SpringAge plug) I really like the company. But that issue with ReMatrix has me not buying the full version until it's resolved.

Hi Sylent,
Not that I can see. There are numbered banks in a list and each contains presets, but I don't see a way to re-order.

Thanks Dean
I was trying to make some degree of sense out of it. lol

The only thing I can think of to do (apart from using another convolution reverb) is to keep impulse files in my own folders separate from Rematrix, and just import them from there whenever I need one. Don't like that very much, to say the least.

If you have lots of IR and ju7st looking for something to inspire you, or to get that room/hall IR that fits the bill, this is a no go for me.
 
Example: I have Melda's Mmultibandconvoltion plug, and that lets you select any IR you have on any drive of your PC, and you can save it as a favorite. That's what I am taking about. How hard would that be?

Does anybody bother with NI Reflektor bundled with Guitar Rig 5?

Hi DA,
Yep, I do. I like it quite a bit. I think it's reputation suffers a bit because it's bundled inside the Guitar Rig interface and N.I. isn't really known for it's effects line. That said, I really like it. Zero latency, pretty easy on the CPU, you can import sounds, and it's got a preset library in the Guitar Rig interface that is much better than Rematrix.
 
All that said, I still like Rematrix just because of the flexibility but if you can get past the Guitar Rig interface I think Reflektor is solid.
