PerfectSpace Convolution plugin - no presets?

A convolution reverb needs an impulse to work that become its preset. You need to load one first.

If you look at the plugin just below the 5 buttons there is a icon of a folder that is where you click to load an impulse. You shouldn't need to find the folder where the files are stored. It should be there already.

I use Perfect Spaces big brother so I am working from memory but I think the load dialog is within the GUI of Perfect Space rather than the main window frame.

You'll find the IR files are stored within the Perfect Space folder that was installed in your VST effects folder? Browse to that and load one up.

I like Perfect Space... It inspired me to buy Pristine Space... and now that is my go to reverb for just about everything.

Good Luck,

best regards,

Thanks Scott.
A rollover tool tip would have been useful

It's a prime example of an unintuitive plug-in because the amount of people who think the presets are missing are numbered like the stars in the sky.

If people who use plug-ins regularly ask the same repeated question about this plug-in then you need to make it more intuitive in my opinion. I think it could easily be achieved with this plug-in.

You do have a point Sky but the title says something about a preconceived idea. In looking for presets here one is bound to not find any such thing for this sort of plugin. It helps knowing what to look for and it wouldn't hurt for CW to make it a little easier to see where and what one needs to click on to get started with PS. None the less if one knows about a convolution reverb then it becomes a lot simpler to find the files that make it work. Or at least to look for them. Also if you look a bit at it and Dim Pro you will see a very similar file loading icon. In this CW is a little consistent.   

I think oranges should be smooth like apples on the exterior.

How about a "load here" button.  :-D

Skyline..thanks for this post. I posted recently about missing Studioverb 2 ... I thought I was missing presets in the Perfect Space as well so I was bummed about having no real reverb plug.
Had I missed this post, I would have never opened it again!  Cheers!

Count me as one of them... I'm frustrated that Studioverb 2 doesn't work in sonar 64bit and never could get Perfect Space to work for the same reason... no presets!  Just figured it out a couple hours ago (nothing in the help file!) and after posting problems with Rapture 64bit in the instrument forum just came over here to take a look and bingo!  someone struggling with the same issue I struggled with earlier this evening! 


And really appreciate the links also...now in my bookmarks!


this forum's fantastic!

Most of those I worked with do come with presets. Examples are Waves IR, Logics Space Designer, WizooVerb and said LiquidSonics Reverberate.

I understand that simple ones that don't allow much tweaking but just compute the IR don't need presets as they would more or less just double the IR loading dialog. But I think a plugin like Perfect Space deserves that bit of work to bring the user into the ballpark quick and not least to showcase the possibilities.
I don't subscribe to the " you know this is a convolution plugin, so don't expect presets". And I disagree with

A convolution reverb needs an impulse to work that become its preset.

Loading an impulse into a modern convolution plugin is more akin to changing the algorithm (in an algorithmic digital reverb) than to loading a preset. There are plenty more parameters to tweak in addition to the underlying IR.
Which is why Perfect Space has a preset system in the first place. It's just a matter of service to the customer to fill it up with some reasonable factory settings.

I know....  it's a 4 month old post, but I found it because I couldn't find the damn presents either!    It's not even that I am looking for it to have presets per-say.   But being a relative Newb....  if I open any most any other FX plug in (regaurdless reverb or otherwise) that was included in sonar,  you don't open files to audition sounds & learn that plug in....  you click through "presets"  & tweak each one to test it's capabilities...  Take another reverb for example:  Hall, Chamber, Drum room. etc.   then you start from those & find what you like.   I was happy to find this post as I had basically written perfect space off asI couldn't seem to get it to "do" a damn thing.   I figured if anything maybe I inadvertently moved the files so now it didn't work right.   Glad to see it's just programed wierd (different than the others).
