The Moabi Custom SYX impulse response library captures and is seeking to recreate the sound of a one-of-a-kind moabi hardwood 4x12 cabinet loaded with numerous pre-mixed custom combinations of Celestion speakers.

Impulse response files are provided in Standard and UltraRes .syx file formats, and have been minimum phase transformed using a proprietary algorithm.

CABINET

As opposed to the traditional plywood or particle board used for most guitar and bass speaker cabinets, this library centers around a one-off, custom built 4x12 made from dense, heavy, solid African moabi hardwood with no tolex/covering.

This change from utilitarian and basic construction grade materials to exotic and solid furniture grade/tone-wood materials and finishing takes what is traditionally a piece of road-ready live sound reinforcement equipment and treats it more like an acoustic instrument, resulting in a sound that has a more lively, woody, tight, and resonant response compared to a plywood speaker cabinet (covered in glue and tolex) of nearly identical dimensions.




CUSTOM VOICINGS

Impulse response libraries most often seek to replicate or simulate specific gear configurations on an individual basis. This library deviates from this approach and instead focuses on a results driven sound design goal, where the sum is the focus rather than the parts. Numerous Celestion T1221, T3903, T3904, T4335, and T5901 speakers spanning the 1970's through the 2010's were captured and blended together in various ways -- on top of changing the amount of active speakers in the cabinet at a given time as well as changes in mic technique -- to create the different following nine distinct sound groups:

Extra Large • Large • Medium • Small
Balanced • Cali Style • Contemporary • Down Tuned • Drogonian
