on a similar topic - i'm wondering about convolution in pd. i like the
sir vst plugin, but i want to avoid vst from now on because its messy
to set up parameters etc. is there a standard convolution object for
pd where you can just load an impulse response (from a wav
preferrably)?

as for reverb, i'm convinced that impulse responses are the way
forward. in fact, convolution can do nearly anything - like filters,
as long as they are linear and time invariant etc etc
