Hi,
I've been following some of the threads about IRs, thinking of them as just way to model cabs responses, and then I found Javajunkie's acoustic model and 3 chords rock violin and both of them use IR to model the sound, Java's using the IR of an acoustic guitar. Then my question is : if you can have an IR of a loudspeaker, studio room, cathedral, acoustic guitar ... does this mean that it's possible to use IR to model ANY instrument ? Obviously not, because then you could use them to model an amp also, and Cliff's live would be easier
then where's the limit ? I remember from studyng electronics in school a very long time ago that an FFT can describe any signal thru the harmonics repartition, I guess that IR does the same using the Dirac impulse ?. I suppose that the difficut thing with an amp is that the response depends on the frequency and the signal level and you need to combine everything in a single model. But to model strings, a piano, horns ... would the IR method work ?
I know some of you guys are very knowledgeable about all this stuff. I'm eager to learn (and then I dont need to buy a midi guitar if I want to play piano chords )
Thanks
