mcfx is a suite of multichannel VST plug-ins for MacOS, Windows and Linux
(mcfx_convolver, mcfx_delay, mcfx_filter, mcfx_gain_delay, mcfx_meter)
these plug-ins are very handy if you want to process multiple channels in one go for example
* multiple loudspeaker setups, Ambisonics (see ambiX)
* Microphone array post productions (eg. Eigenmike®)
….
currently high channel counts per track are only possible with the DAWs Reaper (Win, OSX) and Ardour (Linux, OSX)
– channel count is configurable with compile time flag
– cross plattform VST for MacOSX, Windows and Linux
– uses the JUCE framework (www.juce.com)
– ready to use binaries for MacOSX (≥ 10.7, 32/64 bit, Apple Silicon) and Windows (32/64 bit)

Additionally you can download some example first order B-format reverb presets for mcfx_convolver:
mcfx_convolver_presets_v0.1.zip
Here is a help file explaining the .conf files.
Note that you have to use ambix_converter after the convolver and choose the preset .amb -> ambix in case you want to use those impulse responses in combination with ambix_decoder or ambix_binaural.
changelog:
==============
– 0.5.11 (2020-05-20) – mcfx_convolver – Mac OS version added a +6dB gain to the filtered output, this is fixed now (Windows version was correct) -> this might influence old projects under OSX since mcfx_convolver will output 6dB less than older versions!

– 0.5.9 (2020-02-05) – mcfx_convolver – fix dropouts/artifacts for hosts that send incomplete block sizes (eg. Adobe, Steinberg), fix reloading of stored presets, add filter length and latency debug messages, fix gui crash in Adobe hosts
– 0.5.8 (2020-01-31) – mcfx_convolver – option to store preset within the project -> allows to exchange a DAW (eg. Reaper) project without need to provide the preset files extra, allow to export stored preset as .zip file for recovering it from the project
