  wet = ports['blend'];
  dry = 1 - wet;
  m = l + r;
  l = dry * l + wet * reverb_l (m);
  r = dry * r + wet * reverb_r (m);

The idea is that early reflections aren't a substantial part of the
Plate sound. Its forte is a smooth, ambient reverb tail. Position of
the reverberated sound source(s) makes little difference to the tail
in physical environments as well as in this algorithm; hence the
convenient mixdown.

'True stereo' is, of course, marketing BS. You may argue that I suffer
from over-exposition to commercial environments; I concur. :)
