[sdiy] reverb in csound

If you're aiming for a classic Lexicon type reverb sound, then some gentle 
modulation of the delays helps.  It also helps break up some of the nasty 
metallic ringing modes you can otherwise get in the tail of the reverb.  The 
trick is to apply just enough modulation to achieve the lushness that you 
want, but without any obvious chorusing or seasick pitch warble!

Yo,
I've been working with reverb programs in csound. The current attempt is a 
plate reverb. It turns out 3d animation isn't the only place where there is 
an uncanny valley. Let me explain.

In the early part of the dev I had 4 allpass filters in series and was 
playing with the settings. The results were fun and very synth-effect-y. But 
then I got the whole program working and it sounds crappy. Farther from a 
useful effect than the first one. I have reached the uncanny valley of 
reverbs, between obvious twangy effect and good sounding reverb there is a 
spot where it is kinda crap.

Since my goal is to develop a 'reverb' effect that is more effect and less 
reverb, I think it is time to get my head straight and go in a new 
direction.
