Plugins


Spectral-aware Reverb Processing

GitHub


Graphverb

Graphverb is a JUCE-based audio plugin that performs dynamic, spectral-aware reverb processing using graph analysis and K-Means clustering.

The process begins with spectral analysis using STFT, followed by constructing a spectral graph where each bin is a node and clustering it via a k-means variant. Each cluster is processed through an energy-scaled reverb, and the weighted wet signals are mixed with the dry signal for output.

Physical Drum Simulation

GitHub


PDrum

PDrum is a physical drum simulation that simulates the response of a vibrating membrane and a modal resonator to mimic the effects of a drumhead and drum shell.

The simulation is based on the wave equation and uses a finite difference method to solve the equation in real-time.

If the download link does not provide an installer, you will have to manually move the VST3 or AU plugin to the correct location.

macOS

  • If using a VST3, place the .vst3 file into: Macintosh HD:/Users/[Username]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
  • If using an AU, place the .component file into: Macintosh HD:/Users/[Username]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

Windows

  • You'll first have to find the folder or location that your DAW uses to load VST3 plugins. Use this article here for DAW-specific instructions on how to open this folder: Sweetwater: "How do I add a VST plugin into a Windows DAW?"
  • Once you have the location that your DAW uses for VST3 plugins, just copy the .vst3 file into that directory.

Linux

  • Similar to Windows, first you'll have to find the folder or location your DAW uses for VST3 plugins.
  • Once you have the location that your DAW uses for VST3 plugins, just copy the .vst3 file into that directory.
