Wow, really?
I never listened to the quadraverb, but i thought (based on hearsay)
that it was in the "decent reverb" category.
It was in the '80's ;-)
Like everything else they have a couple of useful settings, but you can't
really get away from that digital tinniness. I've been spoilt by Lexicons
since. Generally speaking, I find the LADSPA collections very useable and
pleasing to the ear. Suffice it to say I haven't bothered getting the old
quadraverb repaired. However, I do find it hard to hit the 'right' reverb
setting - and we are talking rooms not instrument sounds here.
So I'll be following the rest of these discussions with interest.
Are there any quadraverb demos on the Internet? (i can
listen to
Freeverb myself)
Not that I'm aware of, sorry.
I want a
virtual forest please ;-)
No worries, just make sure to run it on appropriate hardware for real-
time performance:

point taken :-)
Actually, as I'm running on recycled hardware < 1GHz. I think the way forward
for me might be to set up a dedicated dsp machine. Perhaps I could manage a
leaf or two.
