Current public version

Impulse Anvil 1.0.123 — Windows 64-bit VST3

Audio files you can load

Impulse Anvil accepts:

  • .wav
  • .aif
  • .aiff
  • .flac

Use Load or drag compatible files directly onto A or B.

Factory IRs

Factory IRs ship with the plugin and appear in the IR Library as Bundled Factory.

A fresh manual Load can start from that bundled library.

Your own IR folders

The IR Browser can index the built-in/user locations plus multiple machine-local custom folders.

  • User IRs
  • Baked IRs
  • Expansions
  • registered custom IR folders
  • compatible older Factory/User locations when present

When you manually browse to an IR folder and load a file successfully, Anvil remembers that folder for the next manual Load.

Register custom libraries

Open the IR Browser and use + ADD FOLDER to register another machine-local IR location.

Use - REMOVE FOLDER to remove a registered location from Anvil's index. Nothing is deleted from disk, and custom folder locations are not stored inside DAW projects or presets.

Baked IRs

The normal Bake destination is:

Documents\FreQtik\Impulse Anvil\Baked IRs

User data

Impulse Anvil may keep settings, presets, theme files and compatibility data under:

C:\ProgramData\FreQtik\ImpulseAnvil\

Bake format

Bake creates a 32-bit floating-point WAV.

macOS AU / VST3 testing build

Impulse Anvil v1.0.123 is available as macOS AU and VST3 testing builds. The plug-in follows the same demo/full-license model as Windows; a valid Impulse Anvil license unlocks the complete functionality.

Distribution status: the macOS testing build is not distributed with an Apple Developer ID signature and has not been notarized by Apple. macOS Gatekeeper may require explicit manual approval. Windows 10/11 VST3 remains the primary supported commercial release.
