Yep. It's in the Hall, the Chamber, and the reverb tail portion of the new Room algorithm. There are of course other new things in those algorithms related to frequency management, but Barry's idea made some noticeable improvements.

N.S.



Since you've been talking about allpasses, I'll pass along an observation. Although the traditional view is that allpasses increase reverb density, that's only true up to a point. The number of reflections per second is still limited by the Nyquist theorum (and probably by the auditory cortex as well). With well-chosen allpass values, that limit can be reached quite rapidly. After that point, the significant effects are phase and frequency.
