About the IR Player
The IR Player block processes up to two IRs, has less features than the Cab block and therefore requires less CPU. It can also process Tone Match block data that has been exported as an IR. This makes it the first choice to run an impulse response of a device such an acoustic guitar or a preamp.
You can also use it for room ambience, because the IR Player supports FullRes IRs.
Read this:
"The IR Player block does not attempt to normalize the volume as it is a generic convolution player and doesn't know whether the IR is a cabinet IR or some other type of IR (i.e., reverb, violin, etc.)." [1]
Parameters
The IR Player supports two IRs with individual LEVEL and PAN controls for each IR.
A MIX control is also provided so the block can be used as a convolution reverb.
The MODE parameter selects between Parallel and Series. When in series, the individual level and pan controls are defeated and removed from the UI. The volume is consistent if MODE is set to Parallel and only one IR is being used.
Choices for IR LENGTH are Off, 256, 512, 1024 and Max. Setting IR LENGTH to OFF defeats the IR. Read more about IR resolution.
Global blocks
The IR Player doesn't support Global blocks.
