Multiband Reverb – Progress Update 1

The first phase of development for my multiband reverb plugin has focused on establishing the core foundation. I’ve successfully implemented a basic JUCE plugin architecture with fundamental IR (Impulse Response) processing capabilities. Currently, the plugin can import a single impulse response file and process audio through it with basic wet/dry mix control.

Key achievements in this phase:

• Set up JUCE development environment and plugin framework
• Implemented basic file loading for IR samples
• Created initial DSP chain for convolution processing
• Added fundamental wet/dry parameter control
• Established minimal but functional GUI for testing

While this is a modest start compared to the final vision of multiband processing, it represents a crucial technical foundation. Getting clean convolution working with proper sample rate handling and basic parameter control is essential before expanding to multiple frequency bands.

Next steps will focus on implementing the multiband splitting algorithm and extending the current single-band processing to handle multiple frequency ranges independently. I’ll be expanding the GUI to accommodate these new features while maintaining a focus on CPU efficiency throughout the development process.

The project is proceeding according to the core technical plan, with the groundwork now laid for the more complex features to come. Looking forward to sharing more progress as the multiband capabilities take shape.
