Reverb plugin

[MYMLA]

Hi guys,

Please remove if in the wrong catagory

I’ve been working on this reverb effect plugin for a while now and I thought I’d finally share a video of something i’ve built using Csound/Cabbage.

So far I’ve just been running synth sounds through it but I’m going to test it on more soon.

The plugin blends between four distinct reverb environments, each with its own character and accompanying atmospheric sound bed. The sound beds are dynamically gated by the input signal, so they become part of the effect and become imbued into the input sound rather than just playing continuously in the background. This creates some very immersive textures.

The four environments are:

Mountain

Forest

Shore

Sea

The position of the little robot controls the blend between them allowing me to smoothly interpolate from one environment to the next and create a wide range of atmospheric reverb textures.

This allows intermediate settings to combine the elements of two neighbouring environments, creating a wide range of spatial, tonal and atmospheric reverb characteristics.

Still needs some tweaking to get the filtering right and the plugin still needs a name but so far I like where it’s going.

I’d love some feedback on what you guys think of the sound or if there’s any other sounds you want to hear through it. Once I have tweaked a few things I’ll share a copy for people to test

Hi @MYMLA, it’s been a while This is beautiful. I haven’t had a chance to play through it myself as I’m currently on vacation, but I loved what you did in the video. It helps that you seem so musical—the phrases are really lovely. You create some really lovely moments. That little robot, I want to feed it my guitar to see what it comes up with! Thank you for sharing. Please post more as you continue to tweak and play with it. Little Robot Reverb seems like a nice name for it Then we can dial in Lots of Little Robot Reverb, or Less Little Robot Reverb Can’t beat a bit of alliteration

Hi @mymla, I’d be more than happy to test it for you! Sounds great, I’ve been working on a lfo / midi cc generator, so it will be really interesting to see what happens when I feed either the audio and/or the midi cc into it.

Thanks for the cool message.

I’m going to attach a version for you to try. I’d love to hear what sounds you get from it!

So far I’ve tried a few things but nothing seems to bring out magic from it like a bright synth sound. Haven’t tried guitar though so i’m interested in seeing how that sounds!

“Little Robot Reverb” I love that!

Lots of Little Robot Reverb, Less Little Robot Reverb You might be on to something

Cool!

I’m going to attach a copy so you can try it!

As promised here is a copy.

Just unzip and put in your usual vst place for your daw to find or run from the csd in cabbage

Either run from the vst in your daw or run from the csd

Hi MYMLA,

Thanks for sharing. You didn’t have to share the source code, feel free to delete it here if you want to.

I have already played with it and I like it!!

I’ll try to do a video where I combine it with my plugin.

What I think would be helpful is some minor tweaks in the UI. The plugin has three different parts that can be set, right? So, we’ve got a reverb, we’ve got a ambience generator (sfx) and a master panel. Spread those across the bottom. Now the reverb and ambience generator seem to be the same, for there is no white-space between them.I didn’t know what I was changing when I tested the plugin. I think it also would help if you add a text label above or below it. It cleans up the UI as well. I have included a quick mock-up.

Love the graphics by the way!

To top that off maybe replace the knobs with redesigned filmstrip buttons in the form of radio buttons or something robot like

Anyway thanks again for sharing and if I have the video I’ll send you a link.
