Convolution reverb with pre and post modulation

REEV-R is a convolution reverb with modulation capabilities, it is possible thanks to KlangFalter FFT Convolution library, JUCE stock convolution was consuming 20% CPU usage on debug builds while this one takes less than 1%, this was the only library I found that perfectly fits this plugin.

How it works
REEV supports IR manipulation like stretching, reversing, trimming, attack and decay. Because loading IRs is expensive this plugin uses two reverbs, one active and one idle, and loads the modified impulses on the idle reverb on a separate thread. Once the secondary reverb is ready it warms it with one second of buffered audio so that it achieves the same state as the main reverb, finally both reverbs are cross-faded for a smooth transition before swapping the two.

A note on ShaperBox
This plugin, more so than the others, is feature-by-feature almost a re-implementation of ShaperBox – this was not intentional or planned, there are not many references and I didn’t want to miss some very well thought features so I ended replicating most of them. If you like this plugin consider checking ShaperBox Reverb, it’s probably more studio grade, more polished and the price tag is affordable.

Features

Point types
Like GrossBeat, REEV-R includes 8 point types that can be changed by right clicking a point, the default point type can also be changed in the tools-bar.

Paint mode
Paint mode was remade in version 2, it now works with custom patterns that can be edited like the main audio patterns and rescaled before placing on view.

This mode has to be activated by clicking the Paint button, a list of patterns will show above the editor window.

There are 32 patterns that can be used and edited, these patterns are saved in the settings file and shared by any instances of the plugin.

Envelope Followers
Envelope followers for either Send or Reverb can be activated on the Envelope widget by setting the amount positive or negative.

Self repeating patterns
Patterns are not constrained by start and endpoints, they can have only one point or no points, this mainly allows patterns to be seamlessly rotated to create new rhythm variations.

Multi-point selections
Multiple points can be selected and moved around, the selections can also be scaled and skewed by holding Alt + drag the leftmost or rightmost handles, this allows to quickly make rising or falling wedges as well as compress or expand sets of points.

Audio Trigger
Audio transients can be used to trigger the envelope or restart its cycle, its heavily based on ShaperBox and includes two modes of detection: Simple – based on envelope following and Drums – based on total energy during a small time window. This feature is also heavily based on ShaperBox and also allows to use sidechain as input.

MIDI Trigger
MIDI can be used to trigger the envelope or restart its cycle, it can also be used to change patterns (defaults to channel 10).

Pattern sync
Pattern changes can be synced to the playback beat position, this allows for to make timely transitions in real time in sync with the song position.

Sequencer
Clicking the Seq button toggles the sequencer mode where patterns can be built and randomized with ease.
