Piotr ‘Habib’ Pyrzanowski has released version 1.3 of keFIR, a zero latency FIR filter VST plug-in based on impulse responses loaded from wave files.
Changes in v1.3
- Extended quality to 32768 taps per channel.
- Added left/right channel bypass buttons.
- Fixed problem with quality parameter display while setting quality using mouse.
keFIR is available for Windows PC (VST) as donationware.

Piotr ‘Habib’ Pyrzanowski has updated keFIR to version 1.2.
Updated in v1.2
- added automatic gain and length detection during IR loading (keFIR will now try to set best possible gain & length for loaded IR)
- knobs are now more “readable”, exact values are displayed (thanks sinkmusic!)
- removed libsndfile dependency (keFIR now has its own wave file loader which supports all uncompressed PCM wave formats, 8/16/24/32 bit integers, 32/64 bit floats)
- less CPU usage

Piotr ‘Habib’ Pyrzanowski has released keFIR, a zero latency, mono FIR filter plug-in effect.
Features
- Based on impulse responses loaded from wave files
- Filter length can be adjusted to maximum of 8K taps
- Mix control for mixing input with output
- Gain control for setting output volume level
- Length control for setting filter length (you can also set the length by clicking right mouse button on impulse response)
Adjusting filter length will linearly affect CPU usage, more taps used require more CPU power. You can optimize it by choosing proper filter length, for example some amp cabinet impulse responses have long tail of ‘almost zero’ coefficients which can be shortened without audible difference, to save some extra CPU cycles.
Note: the Libsndfile file needs to be some place Windows can find it, i.e. c:\windows\system32

- Added in & out VU on/off switches
- Optimized for speed (core processing loop of Eq31 now coded in pure assembly), all parameters can be fully automated and changed in real-time
