Abstract

A method of producing reverberation effects is disclosed. A filter is implemented for modeling early acoustic reflections in response to an input signal using a first processor, the filter includes a delay buffer of a selected length and having a selected number of taps for tapping samples of corresponding amounts of delay and a summer for summing the tapped samples to generate a filter output signal. A reverberator is implemented for modeling late acoustic reflections using a second processor, the reverberator receiving the filter output and generating a plurality of output signals.
