Hi,

Convolution was mentioned earlier in this thread. A while ago I experimented 
with BruteFIR, which is a realtime convolution engine, and a few proprietary 
impulse responses, with extremely good results. 
It is every bit as good as the result on Windows or Mac (and it should be).

There are though a few drawbacks with convolution. 
- It consumes hefty amounts of CPU, it does put it to good use though :).
- There are almost no freely available impulse responses.

The biggest problem being the lack of impulses. If there where a library of 
free impulses I could easily envision bruteFIR becoming a 
"killer-application". 

Mmmm, and a GUI for BruteFIR ofcourse.... BruteVerb ;) Mmmm.

/Robert
