Thanks to both Beat and Gilles. 

I have loaded them successfully. The catch: these aren't impulses (that I knew), and they're *not* presets (that I didn't know). So they don't show up in Settings drop down. If you save a "New Preset" default file as a tracer (to discover the right path), and then drop Beat's files into that same folder, they still won't show up as a Setting. Settings, I have learned (the hard way, as I learn all things), are aupreset files. That's what shows up in the drop menu to the left of the Copy / Paste boxes. 

BUT, if (as Gilles said) you open LOAD, which is just above the graphical window, to the right of Factory Presets, a-ha! There is found the work of our magnanimous friend, Mr. Kaufmann. 

And "New Preset" will be there too.

The confusing part is, "New Preset" also appears in the aupreset drop down menu after it is saved, leading the user to think BK's work should be there too. I dragged BK's files into that folder, but they're not aupresets. So the Settings drop menu won't show them, even if they're in the folder. 

I look forward to learning from this work as I have learned from all your contributions here, Beat. The examples you put on your site of Close, Mid, and Far were immediately helpful. Thanks again. 

Heya plowman,

Glad you have can make it and i have can help you a bit ^.^

And thanks again Beat ^.^

Hi to all

Thanks for your praising words about the depth presets [:$].

Two additions:

1. For getting even closer distances: Reduce the value of "Decorr" down to 0...1%...2%

2. I will be able to publish 3 whole "Orchestra Sets" of "Suite-Effect-Presets" soon... [:)]

All the Best

Beat

Hi Beat,

I look forward to those as your presets are quite useful! Thaks for sharing them :).

Fantastic, Beat. Drop us a line here or on a new thread when you do. Also, when your tutorials come out in English, that would be good to know. 

If time and interest allow, I'd value your musical description of "Decorr." I think it stands for "de-correlation." Err... good to know, but it doesn't help me much. I didn't know it could bring the instrument closer. A musical explanation would be helpful as to how you use it when your designing your virtual space.

Hi plowman

Yes you are correct. DECORR stands for...

My explanation is between a musical and a technical one. OK?

The more you increase the Decorrelation the more you get an extensive reverb - specially with its fade out.

That's what I recognize when I'm listening to several "decorr-results".

Perhaps the VSL Suite Convolution Reverb does this with a sort of a built in stereo chorus effect  which is influencing the IR??

Don't know really.

Further, on the one hand it seems not to be a linear effect but on the other hand the parameter shifter is linear.

So the most difference you get between 0% and around 10%

Decorr = 0% (normal Reverb without any special richness)

Decorr = 1% (suddenly much more richness with the reverb)

Decorr = 2% (even more ...)

Now, a main parameter for adjusting the virtual distance:

The more wet a  signal the farther away it seems to be.

So: More DECORR enhance the feeling of more distance... which explains my upper proposal:

For even closer distances with my "3depth-presets" : Reduce the value of DECORR to 0%...2%

Beat, I did a fresh install to Windows 7 (I was using Vista previously) and realized that I didn't copy over the presets before I formatted the drive. After clicking on the link to get the presets again, it appears to be invalid. Do you still have these available for download? I found them quite useful and already had used them in some work.

Hi Austin

You got a mail from me. See you there...

Kind Regards

Beat

sorry to also bother.... but same with me: also lost the presets and now i desperately tried to download them... have you moved them or are they no longer available in general?

thanks a lot for you effort...

Sorry, but I had to make a change within the starting thread. It explains the circumstances,

Please have a look there...

Thanks

All the best

Beat
