In reply to Wasyl.

Without any mention of this open source project on the Temecula website or project documentation, how can you be sure that the MDV-II uses this specific code? The repository you linked to is only three months old, so I’m skeptical of your claim.

There have been quite a few Midiverb emulations over the years and the underlying tech is like 30 or 40 years old now, there’s nothing really new here. The repository you linked even mentions that the code is based on someone else’s code, which itself is based on the Alesis product. This is emulation of emulation of emulation.

Be happy for a free plugin and make some music.

It would be fair to honor Thement – the original dev:

https://github.com/thement/midiverb_emulator

His code has recently been lifted by a growing number of companies.

MidiVerbs and Boss pedals were my reverbs for a long time. They always delivered, so I’m happy to see the low sampling rate retained here. Using a low-res reverb on a synth to enhance a more capable, modern one is often a good textural option. Think of it as a specialty module.

That’s the stuff I want to see more of!
Great plugin – great GUI emulation.

Great plugin. It was one of my favourites as hardware based processor not because it soured so good but because it sounded so different 😉
Insta download for me 🙂
