convoLV2

convoLV2 is an LV2 plugin used to convolve audio signals with zero latency.

It can be used for convolution reverb although due to it having no controls its main use-case is cabinet-emulation and generic signal processing where latency matters.

The plugin comes in three variants:

Mono: 1 channel in, 1 channel out. Mono IR file
Mono To Stereo: 1 channel in, 2 channel out. Stereo IR file. (L, R)
True Stereo: 2 in, 2 out. 4 channel IR file (L -> L, R -> R, L -> R, R -> L)
