[PD] New version of freeverb~ with alternate output option.

[Fred Jan Kraan]

Hi William,

> Fred Jan, are you the author of Freeverb?

No, it was created by "Jezar" in 2000 and ported by Olaf Mattes to 
Max/MSP and Pd. I only created a deken package and fixed a small issue 
on the way.

As freeverb~ also uses messages to set the 'wetness', abrupt changes as 
with messages will be audiable too. It is conceivable to create an 
object that uses a signal to set the most important controls, but I am 
not sure it would be worth the trouble. Not to mention it could take 
lots of inlets. The [line~] based approach is probably just as good.

A proper ducking object is something that is lacking from Pd. To make it 
working just right is probably more tricky than one would guess at first 
glance.
