# Roboverb

Robotic reverb, I guess.

![Screenshot](data/screenshot.png)

Roboverb is designed to produce a distinctive, "robotic" or metallic reverb sound, and its parameters are somewhat unique compared to typical reverb plugins. Here's a breakdown:

* **Core Design:**

    * Roboverb is based on a Schroeder digital reverb model.

    * It utilizes a network of 8 Comb Filters and 4 All Pass filters. This filter network is what gives Roboverb its characteristic sound.

* **Key Features and Parameters:**

    * **Filter Switches:**

        * A significant aspect of Roboverb is the presence of switches that allow you to toggle the Comb and All Pass filters on or off. This provides a way to radically alter the reverb's tonal character.

        * These switches are a key part of the "robotic" effect, as they allow for manipulation of the filter chain.

    * **Tuning of Filter Chain:**

        * The "not-so-secret sauce" of Roboverb lies in the specific tuning of its filter chain. This tuning contributes to the plugin's metallic and unique reverb sound.

    * **Emphasis on Simplicity:**

        * The plugin is designed to be relatively straightforward, prioritizing ease of use over a vast array of numerical parameters.

        * Roboverb's design philosophy is to allow for drastic sound changes with a minimal amount of parameter changes.

* **Overall Character:**

    * Roboverb is not intended to emulate natural, realistic reverb. Instead, it aims to produce creative and experimental reverb effects.

    * It is designed for those who want a very unique, and sometimes "creepy" reverb sound.

In essence, Roboverb's parameters revolve around manipulating its internal filter network through on/off switches, rather than traditional reverb controls like decay time or room size. This design choice results in its distinct sonic signature.

#### Building

Roboverb can be built with CMake.

```bash

git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1

cmake -Bbuild -GNinja

cd build

ninja -j4

```
