Freeware - NuSpace Audio Riviera Hyper-Room Reverb VST

https://nuspaceaudio.com/2017/02/07/riviera-fast-hybrid-reverb-plugin-for-modeling-high-dimensional-spaces/


Riviera is a hybrid algorithmic-convolution reverb plugin for modeling specular acoustic reflections in N-dimensional orthotopes. e.g. string, plate, room, tesseract, and up (vooms or volume+room for short). Normally, direct computation in these spaces is expensive but some clever maths [see tutorial (parts 1, 2, 3, 4)] reduced the asymptotic costs to the point of practical use (e.g. a Reverb plugin). Parameterizing these spaces and then combining them with some fast time-varying frequency dampening resulted in some interesting sounding impulse responses (IRs).
