The maths involved are probably way over my head, but if there's peon-level work to be done then I'll find some way to help. Thanks for all the advice. It sounds like the future of reverb is convolution. I found something called jack_convolve too. What other linux convolution engines are there? I understand that none are (yet) as good as VST, but are any usable now? - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFzPUze8HF+6xeOIcRAmY0AJsEEZrhym0CseGStn/k8RXULvZtfwCgz2cT T5a5GRUonKEh77Ugf4x+pRc= =9DYX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
