Use MVerb by Martin Eastwood for reverberation - #3787
Conversation
|
Edit: fixed |
I wonder if the sub-module clone can be repo-specific, so we can have one that only does liboboe for Android and another that does this for all platforms, included in the main clone step. That suggests we also need build documentation changes included here. |
Haven't though about that but, yes, certainly. Edit: |
If it is not in .github they should be designed to build .deb/.dmg/.exe/.ipa/.apk I believe that this is not achieved at the moment. However, you can try and see where they fail. |
|
For my taste, it is a bit too "far" . |
It is nothing that is "needed" but the current reverb sounds horrible, tbh. |
|
Yes. I think the reverb implemented here (this PR) sounds too far. Yes, probably better than what we have at the moment. |
|
Actually, we could also only include the reverb if the submodule was loaded. |
I used one of the presets just to have at least something to start from. I'm not with my usual gear but will be tomorrow. I'll tweak some settings and try with different instruments and hopefully find a useful preset. |
|
Just a thought: We could easily expose the reverb parameters via JSON-RPC and store them in the .ini file |
|
You should be able to test the autobuild scripts on your own repo without raising a PR by pushing to a branch starting with "autobuild" -- I think. |
Yes, that works. But I meant locally as in my machine. I found something which involved containers and didn't work for windows so I guess I'll stick to my github repo. |
|
It should definitely have the presets as configuration option in the Advanced Setup screen too. |
I wasn't too sure about how to handle this. Either make it JSON-RPC exclusive or have power users and nerds edit their INI files, which is dead easy. I didn't want to bloat the UI with a setting nobody actually requested. |
|
I also only have limited UI understanding. I think @ignotus666 knows more. |
I guess this is due to the "predelay" parameter setting. I chose a preset with no pre-delay. |

I'm also a bit puzzled why there's no OFF preset that causes the code to bypass the reverb processing (and maybe have that disable the main dialog controls).
Maybe the settings page isn't quite right for this after all. We've got the UI on the main panel. Perhaps a pop-up chooser for the preset would be better than having to open Settings to change preset.

Moving the preset chooser to the main UI and adding an OFF preset would make sense. Right now I think it can confuse people I the reverb fader just did nothing when OFF was selected (in the settings dialogue).

Only once we remove the reverb to settings this makes sense, I think.

I was thinking "OFF" would disable the slider (the UI does show a slider being disabled, just about). If they'd had the slider not at zero and another preset selected, I really don't think switching it to "OFF" would be confusing in itself -- it's just that the slider should stop being available (and have no effect). So "OFF" needs to stop the slider moving.
Add reverb preset selection to advanced settings dialogue make "Stadium" the default reverb preset Make reverb buffers protected members Add reverb presets
Optionally build without the reverb plugin and hide all related UI elements

- Around line 107-108: Set C++17 in the global CONFIG block so all
reverb-enabled platforms, including Unix, macOS, and iOS, compile with the
required standard; remove the platform-local C++11 or other standard selections
that override it. Preserve the existing reverb configuration and use the global
CONFIG declaration as the single standard selection.
In `@src/client.h`:
- Around line 434-440: Synchronize the four audio settings used by
ProcessAudioDataIntern—iAudioInFader, bReverbOnLeftChan, iReverbLevel, and
iInputBoost—through an audio-thread state handoff instead of unsynchronized
cross-thread access. Update SetReverbPreset() to enqueue preset changes for the
audio thread, and apply them there before AudioReverb::Process() invokes
MVerb::process().
- Line 215: Update SetReverbPreset and the audio-processing path around
CAudioReverb so preset changes are serialized with ProcessAudioDataIntern: queue
the requested preset to the audio thread or apply prepared state only at a block
boundary, ensuring CAudioReverb::setPreset never mutates the shared MVerb
instance concurrently with CAudioReverb::Process.
In `@src/settings.cpp`:
- Line 512: Update the revpreset validation in the settings-loading code using
GetNumericIniSet so it accepts the full CAudioReverb preset index range 0..6,
preferably by reusing the shared preset-count symbol; preserve the existing
default and assignment behavior.

Keep audio-thread state synchronized.
ProcessAudioDataIntern() reads the four plain audio settings on the sound callback. Qt callbacks write them without synchronization, which creates C++ data races. SetReverbPreset() also changes MVerb parameters while AudioReverb::Process() can call MVerb::process(). Use an audio-thread state handoff for the settings and queue reverb preset changes for the audio thread.

Of course, one thing I've totally missed:
As this is a substantial replacement of an existing UI and Client feature, it needs to have appropriate JSON-RPC support. Now that really does open a can of worms. If we're going to have pluggable effects, the JSON-RPC API needs to:

That's why I stated we could alternatively remove the reverb, because it doesn't really belong here in the first place. See #3787 (comment) |
