Frostpoint

Requirements

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.

Features

• 113 .wav impulse responses.
• Creative and unusual effects.
• 17 formant IRs that can give any sound a vocal quality.
• All files organised for easy access.
• Great tool for making pads.
• Frostpoint is just .wav files, you will need a convolution reverb plugin to import them too.

Details

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.
