What is critical is the density of the resonances and antiresonances, and that they are effectively randomly distributed. |
Ok some of that went straight over...
But hear you. I did notice uneven, odd and random behavior of the phases during sweeps that I tried on several verbs.
One some plugs specifically DSP based this is true. Random distribution? Interesting. I would have thought the results would be precise calculations in the case of a room, plate, hall or any other real world space emulation. Not so much in a special effect where one wanted an amount of the un-predicated. Or is this the norm with verb plug-ins? The use of random generators to create pseudo fluctuations to mimic a sense of distribution instead of a more accurate and obviously very complex model that would deliver a more realistic emulation.

Sean, I got the Eos today and got to say WOW!!! Chris and Adam did well in their "shaping" of the algos.
I had an H8000 FW until recently (had to let her go as I closed the studio) and apart from the plethora of great effects on the unit some of the larger mod verbs where it's at for me. The SP2016 is very very different to some of these verbs found on the bigger Eventides.
There are two things that have softened the impact of parting with the H8000 in the last few weeks. They are the PCM70 ver 2.0 that was given to me and your Hall algo in Eos.
Well done Sean!!!
