They did not have permission to make those IRs, but Casey from Bricasti informally said they were fine to use since they are not really close to the actual unit. Static IRs don't capture the modulation and randomization in high end reverb units (Lexicon PCM, Eventide, Bricasti) so you don't get the parts of the algorithm you pay big bucks for. That is incidentally the main difference between the reverb in a sub-$200 Lexi or TC and one costing 10x that! <br>
<br>Plate reverbs can be pretty accurately captured and the IR takes up a lot less space than an EMT 140. The commercial plugins like Altiverb have much better samples than the freebies unfortunately.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I downloaded these IRs when<br>
they were available and am wondering if they're definitely 100% free<br>
and open for any use. I have students that would want to work with<br>
them, but don't want to officially recommend that and pass the .zip on<br>
unless I can be sure there are no copyright issues.<br>
<br>
Does the original poster or anyone else know about these details?<br>
