What is a viola IR?

Viola impulse responses are small audio files used to simulate the resonance of vibrations through the soundboard of an acoustic viola.

It is necessary to use a third-party device or software in order to transform the source audio signal. In this regard, several solutions are available to you, from DAW to stomboxes (IR loader, effects processor, plugins, DI boxes and more). The Impulse Response file has to be upload into the device system. Then, you will apply it to your source audio signal.

The download of a ‘zip archive’ will be automatically initiated. It contains different viola IR files. Each file was captured from the same viola but with different microphone placements. This implies changes in sound capture. We recommend testing the different files to select the one that best suits your needs.

Yes, you can! The viola and the violin are two musical instruments whose frequency ranges overlap. Similarly, it is possible to use a violin IR file for a viola audio signal.
