Good analytic noise recent about reverbs, Lexicon, Valhalla, etc. Many may have this other one already, but if not, worth the time to search for an active link. Don't know if it is available anymore. Have seen references that the non shareware version is available for about $180. You can try this out to start the search:

Free Origami HOF. Convolution based though the freeware version does't let you import external IR files. There's miles of damage to be done with the free version however. Killer stuff especially if you are into dark reverbs.
 
Hi point is the inclusion of Elastique to bend the pitch of the IR file. Communicated some time ago with the respected dev of Reverberate, requesting a similar time stretch. He included a subsequent time stretch but said that the licensing was prohibitive to go the wide spectrum Elastique route.
 
Tradeoff in the free HOF version is that you get the benefits of Elastique as a teaser but can't import IR's.
 
Think that the full version of HOF is included in the Yellow Tools Independence package however much that costs.  Yellow tools is cool and would be worth getting just for the full version Origami reverb.

(editing the forum is a bummer. Have no idea what I just posted between the crash and automatic upload half way into the thought...)

Yellow Tools is now Magix .

I have Independence...but don't recall seeing this reverb,
but, honestly, I haven't looked for it.

A while back, I tried Yellow Tools and something went wrong. I don't remember what; all I can say is I deleted it thinking it wasn't doing me any good to have it installed. In fact, I seem to remember a lot of crashing. Something like that. It's possible that was before Magix bought them, too.
 
I don't this doesn't shed any light on anything, but there you are: my experience with Yellow Tools.
 
Why 'Yellow?' Is there a significance to that?

Magix improved the install, activation and fixed bugs.

I loved the HOF origami reverb. But I moved to a new computer and couldn't find the authorization file. I liked it a lot for drums. Thanks for posting this.

Wow, you must have the full version somewhere.
 
Was searching for the link to the freebie and found Strikingly's post on Google from long ago. Took me right to one of the last remaining links. Requires setting up an account. The demo is both 32 and 64 bit, major limitation that you can't import external IR files.

Playing with the pitch of the IR files creates massive deep reverbs. Speeding up the pitch creates interesting overtones. This is a must have for a freebie.

darn my Alzheimers. Looks like the link Striking posted is the one I found also. Was looking at some of the paid products on the pages, but it's unclear as to whether they are selling just the IR libraries and not including the program with it.

Looking at some of the IR libraries, it does look like you can get Origami by buying a cheap IR set. This as an example:
 
http://www.soundsondemand.com/detail.asp/emt_240_gold_foil_plate/en/216
 
If this is real, makes it a no brainer for 19 euros.

The free version comes with a lot of Presets...from Several 240's to a Ton of Lexicons...
and it sounds decent.  If you get the full version with one of the IR's....I agree...
No brainer.  Not a very "Intuitive" interface...but it will do the job for sure...

Sent in an email to Sounds on Demand asking for more info, mainly if the IR sets come with the full version, and what type copyright protection is used.
 
It's a bit confusing because there are references on the web that you can load your own impulses in the full version, but there is a blurb in the SOD description for one of their bundles saying Audio import was not supported, possibly meaning IR's. If this is the case, the set could be locked into just the IR's you buy with some LE edition of Origami.
 
Will report what I find out if they respond.

Got a reply that answered a couple concerns.
 
The HOF series of Origami cannot load external IR files. All the variants come with just what they are supplied with.
 
One gets Origami Pro with the full Independence bundle which can load any IR files, which might be worth getting everything at 59 euros:

Been awhile since I played with Independence Free but remember some of the troubles getting data directories set up. The sounds were quite good however.
 
Would be helpful to hear from others about their experience with the full version and if they still require the dongle.

 edit.  saw on the site that online activation is now the authorization method, no more dongle
