Hello all,

This is my first post on the board, I have been working on a patch tonight which I would like to get a bit of feedback/ help on.

I'm trying to create a Schroeder-style reverb for a university project, I'm reasonably new to pd and have been relying heavily on youtube tutorials and the pd help files.
I have left some notes within the canvas of some of the issues I am having.

I was pretty apprehensive about posting my first patch on a forum so full of experts, but let's see how it goes. Any help would be massively appreciated, thank you guys.

G.

p.s, apologies in advance for the messiness

ok, look...i downloaded your patch, but here's the thing:

it would take me 20 minutes to clean everything up and make it work without explaining what i did, but to fix it up and explain all that stuff to you, would take an hour or more.

you're going to have to break it all up into little jobs and ask one question at a time. I don't think you can just hand us a laundry list of troubles and expect us to go through them for you.

you make it easy for us to help you, and we will.

I appreciate you taking a look at the patch for me, thank you. I'm new to this and I think I rushed a little bit with my questions.

I've been doing a bit of work o the patch and i've made some improvements. I'm getting stuck on creating a wet/dry mix in one place rather than changing individual levels. I'm also pretty sure theres something wrong with what i've done with the high frequency crossover and damping. I have attempted changing pretty much all of the values with the two parameters but i can't seem to get either an effective high frequency cut off, or a convincing damping effect on the reverb. It seems very washy at the moment. I'd really appreciate some help regarding these issues.

I'll attach the latest version of the patch below

Thanks!

as far as high freq cutoff goes, it looks like it's just the way that reverb is designed.

what you can do though, use a lop~ BEFORE the signal goes into the reverb in the first place. That will give you a much stronger tone shaping.

This is great, i've been messing around with the low pass filters, it didn't occur to me to use it in conjunction with the reverb
I'm going to take a look at that w/d patch now, i'm sure I won't have any issue implementing that.
Thank you for your help! I expect I will be back with more questions this afternoon

Okay, I seem to have finished, only issue is the dampening slider. I tried to use a lop~ object to get better tone shaping but I couldn't seem to get it working. When the reverb is all the way up, it does offer a little dampening but i'd still like it to be more dramatic.
Critique on the patch is welcome

Thanks!
