Convolution reverb for sound design, not just ambience. Frostpoint is a collection of 113 handmade impulse responses that transform sources into new timbres — drifting resonances, cascading harmonics, vocal formants, and blurred textures. Perfect for creating unique character in synths and pads, or designing atmospheric layers that go far beyond traditional reverb.
Frostpoint is just a plain pack of WAV files — use them however you like, but they’re designed to be used with a convolution reverb plugin; there are many free and paid ones available on the market.
Frostpoint is a pack of IRs that venture into the world of unusual reverb. The sounds are quite unlike any other reverb.
The pack is organised into 5 categories: Crazy, Formant, Natural, Synthetic, and White Noise. Each filename includes the sample's length in seconds for easy browsing.
Crazy: Synth-derived sounds with pitched elements — perfect for experimental sound design.
Formant: 14 synthetic vowel IRs made by filtering and EQing white noise, plus 3 'real' formant IRs from vocal recordings (pitch removed).
Natural: IRs from real-world recordings that add organic character.
Synthetic: Synth-based sounds and sample manipulations.
White Noise: Heavily processed white noise IRs for smoother reverb effects.
Convolution reverbs multiply input audio by the IR. Pitched IRs can create harsh resonances when harmonics align — for example, a C piano note IR with C input audio will multiply harmonics into unpleasant peaks. Frostpoint focuses on noise-based samples to avoid this, making them more manageable, though some Crazy category IRs include pitched elements for more extreme effects.
