Compressors and reverbs are hard. I plan to take a shot at a compressor
(after I have a gate that works smoothly - for practice), but (classic)
reverbs are a whole area in themselves that I don't really want to get
into. Juhana (who wrote gverb) was working on a new version, but I havn't
heard form him for a while.

I havn't heard any requests for them yet. I remember a DX plugin for
windows called Pi that was really cool. I use a lot of odd stuff, but I
usually use a nord modular as you can knock together wacky effects v.
quickly. I could transcribe some of ny nord patches into C I guess.

Do you not like my RBJ implementation? I know the tripple doesn't work,
but the single sounds v. nice to me. I don't have any high quality
monitoring hardware, so it could be theres some roughness I havn't heard.
If so I can move it to doubles, and add a better pair of headphones to my
xmas list ;) I use some senheisers that are getting on a bit, and my
monitors are well past it.

Easy if you can live with latency, tricky if you can't.

Add a convolver to that list. A LADSPA plugin that talks to the BruteFIR
deamon would be great, but I can't think of a good way to do it.

This was to be my first jack project. I have some good ideas for a self
scalling/limiting looper. I use hardware loopers a *lot*, and I've been
waiting for jack for exactly this reason. I don't think it should be done
in LADSPA as you need quite a ticght binding between the UI and the DSP
code.
For reference my plans for today are:
Delete some of the plugins that are rubbish.
Try to fix tripple parametric
Last bugfix and zipper checking round of uber-delay.
Release
Watch lord of the rings
And over xmas/new year:
Install ALSA and co. on laptop, then
Write gate
Write psycho-acoustic panner
Write plade reverb (with raytraced physical modelling)
Write jack based looper.
Write some more LADSPA GUI's
If anyone wants to add to that list speak up now.
