27 January 2024 at 7:51 am #768Thanks for letting us know. We see the problem in version 1.7.7. (1.7.6 and earlier are ok.) We’re working on this now.

18 January 2024 at 2:30 pm #765Our apologies. The help pages are no longer available from the app. (They weren’t being used by 99% of users and so we disabled them from the website but haven’t yet removed the selection from the app.)
To help understand the workflow:
– download the demo version and look at the preloaded system.
– on the tutorials page, take a look at the “FIR Designer 3.0 ..” and “FIR Designer M ..” videos.Then if you have further questions, post them here on this forum.

27 December 2023 at 7:31 am #758Hi LangCheng,
Regarding (1), I don’t have any recommendations here. The measurement location is for the user to decide, to suite their application.
Regarding (2), if you’re goal is only phase correction, I suggest using both the manual ‘Phase Adjust’ tab and the ‘Auto Phase’ tabs. For an example, watch the ‘FIR Designer 3.0 Complete Overview’ video.
Phase correction down to 300 Hz can require a fairly long filter. Ignore 256 taps @ 48 kHz and start with at least 512 taps. To better understand the effect of length, read our white-paper at the following link. (Specifically, see Section 5.)
Regarding (3), the ‘FIR Filter Delay’ relates to time=0 reference when designing the FIR filter. For most FIR filter designs, it corresponds to the peak location of the FIR filter coefficients. Since you are phase correcting, you will likely need to set the delay greater than 0. How much depends on your filter design.
Again, watch the ‘FIR Designer 3 Overview’ video and read the white-paper. (Specifically, see Section 7.)

15 December 2023 at 7:17 am #756The “Save IIR Coefficients” function only saves the filters that are enabled, so my guess it that you only have one filter “On”.
Note that the save “FIR+Summary” on the export tab, export sub-tab does save all filters with a ENABLED or DISABLED annotation.

13 December 2023 at 8:25 pm #750We already replied to your questions at
10 December 2023 at 8:15 pm #748I understand IIR(biquad) filter changes gain and phase
all pass filter doesnt change amplutude, but phase changed.That’s correct.
FIR(Finite impulse Response)filter, amplitude changes, but phase does not change.
with higher tap, create long delay.That is not correct. A FIR filter can also change phase. (The FIR filter type you are describing is a “linear phase” filter which is subset of what FIR filters can do.) Take a look at the following guide; especially section 7.
I imported csv file into Symetrix, it looks like bunch of PEQ collection(IIR filter)
If the FIR filter response looks like a collection of PEQ’s, that is probably because you have used some PEQ’s on the “FIR Magnitude Adjust” tab, to make the FIR filter. The responses of all five “FIR..” tabs are combined to make the FIR filter. Please take a look at the two tutorials I mentioned in my first message (above).
Here is an example of a .._summary.txt file. It lists the filters from the “IIR Filters” tab, and basic information about the FIR filter file (which is saved separately).

21 November 2023 at 7:29 am #742I just heard back from Lab Gruppen. The version of IPX Controller that supports LPIF import has been delayed but should be ready soon. (I don’t have an ETA.)

I’m checking with Lab Gruppen and will reply again once we know more.

17 November 2023 at 7:20 pm #739Hi there
Can the software create FIR filters for BSS Blu 100? Are there any instructions how to load the filter into a Blu 100? Or does it work like the crown amps?Which license do I need. This is currently for a one time adjustment in a studio.
ThanksPer the page
BSS loads a FIR filter as a CSV file. From any of our products, select “CSV file (column, decimal)” as the export format.
Open a BSS device in Audio Architect, drag a FIR filter block onto the workspace, load the CSV file into the block and wire the FIR block input and output to the device IO blocks.
As to which product, it depends exactly what you’re going to do. FIR Creator or FIR Creator EX should be adequate.
This page gives one example of how to generate a FIR filter a whole cabinet.
Also I’d suggest downloading a demo of FIR Creator EX and taking a look at the preloaded example project.

8 November 2023 at 7:52 pm #732I doubt you can load 12 & 24 kHz filters at all. If it could load these sample rates, keep in mind there’s a maximum tap length available for FIR so the 12 kHz filter – upsampled to 48 kHz – may get truncated, which could dramatically change the filter response.
The Lake FIR 3-way and FIR XP modules are the only modules I’m aware of that use those lower sample rates.

8 November 2023 at 6:48 pm #729I don’t know. You’ll have to try it. The sample rate is included in the GKF file that we export for Dynacord, so IRIS-Net should be able to tell you if the sample rate is not supported.
Take a look at EV and Dyncord on
From the 2nd link: “Note: IRIS-Net appears to load both 48 kHz and 96 kHz FIR filter files, and convert them appropriately to the sample rate of the processor.”
If there’s information missing, let us know and we’ll add it.

7 November 2023 at 1:37 pm #727What DSP is this? The file looks like a format we can implement to export from our products.
Here’s a workflow to get to the FIR data.
1. Copy the c0= ….. c383=”-1.497382E-07″ stuff to a text editor and use find/replace to remove all the ”
2. Copy the c0= ….. c383=-1.497382E-07 from the text editor into an empty worksheet in Excel
3. In Excel, select “Data” “Text to Columns” and use a space ” ” delimiter to break the single cell into 384 cells in a row.
4. Copy the 384 cells
5. On a vacant cell in Excel, right-click and select “Paste Special” “Transpose”. You’ll now have a column starting with c0=1.729377E-10 in the top cell.
6. Select the 384 cells (in the column) and select “Data” “Text to Columns” with an equals sign = as a delimiter. Now you have two columns; one starting with c0 and one with 1.73e-10.
7. Select all the number cells, right-click and select “Format” “Scientific” with 6 decimal places.
8. Copy the 384 cells back to a text editor and save as a TXT file. The results follow below.
9. Start “FIR Designer” and don’t load anything on the Import tab. On the Target tab and File sub-tab, press Load to load the TXT file. Uncheck Magnitude only and Phase only. Press “Find Peak”.
10. In “FIR Designer”, on the Target tab and Curve sub-tab, uncheck “Use”.
Now you have the filter loaded as a target and you can use the rest of the FIR Designer workflow to make a new FIR filter that either matches the loaded filter, or is slightly different to the loaded filter.
