Feature Request : Replace Reverbs

[positionhigh]

Drop the existing reverbs, specially the useless spring reverb and go for one, usable reverb.

I am coming from the Teensy platform so i don't know if this is doable but i suggest to try to add this one:
https://github.com/hexeguitar/t40fx/tree/main/Hx_PlateReverb

If not possible, it is probably better to remove the existing (unusable) reverbs and use their CPU usage for something else.

I second that. Other people investigating this:

• FDN algorithm, source not released yet https://www.reddit.com/r/MVaveFM1/comments/1x02re2/enough_verb/
• hall reverb https://www.reddit.com/r/MVaveFM1/comments/1x00i7m/presenting_ghoulbox_a_free_dungeon_synth_firmware/

Thanks for the pointers. I won't remove the existing reverbs: saved projects and sounds must keep sounding the same after an update, so ROOM and SPRING stay. A smoother, less metallic reverb is a fair request, and several of you have asked for it. I see it coming as an effect plugin once engines and effects can be installed from a catalog (#159), rather than built into the firmware.

Yes, please always keep at least a basic reverb on there! I enjoy noodling with just the FM-1 and a pair of headphones, and dry sounds are quite tiring to listen to.

yeah dont remove spring its awesome

yeah dont remove spring its awesome

sorry, my point wasn't to take away something someone else funds useful. I only suggested it because the same effect can be created in the delay, and the 'spring' reverb sounds nothing like a spring reverb at all. I only suggested removing the spring verb in case firmware size couldn't handle both a good quality verb AND that hokey 'spring verb'. lol i'm glad they both could stay.

i put it on cr78 drum machine and it sounded good tbh lol

+1 Having other reverbs would be much appreciated.

I.e. Airwindows has quite a few interesting and very efficient ones. (Okay maybe not Galactic2 but let's say Ultralight2...)

[etyrnal]

one amazing with size, length and decay would be better than two awful reverbs.

Thanks everyone, and @etyrnal, point taken! A new reverb type, HALL, is coming in 1.4.

[kurogedelic]

HALL is in Felucca 1.4: https://github.com/hugelton/Felucca/releases/tag/v1.4

FX > REVERB, TYPE HALL: a smooth, dense stereo reverb, up to about 4.5 s, at about ROOM's CPU cost. It's the default on a fresh start now; saved projects keep their TYPE. ROOM and SPRING are still there, so nothing you made changes.

Thanks @positionhigh, and everyone who chimed in here! I'll close this one, let me know how it sounds.

[jsmonzani]

Oh wow, thank you for adding it! It sounds so much better and will greatly help!
I'm happy that you've went for a better default reverb that is also CPU efficient.

Once v.2 hits with modular FX, we will have the opportunity to try out different ones but in the meantime, this is a great improvement. 👍

[positionhigh]

Huge improvement - Thank you !
