TfxReverb is a reverb effect AudioUnit Extension plugin. It uses algorithm to generate digital reverb sound. TfxReverb is designed for simple and easy operation. When auto size mode is enabled, number of parameters can be controlled by a single dial to adjust size of the reverb sound, which can be synced to tempo. It features delay lines which are inspired by BBD (bucket brigade device). The delay line uses fixed length buffer and an artificial clock to sample input signal in variable sampling rate.
