I had somebody report that it crashed Reaper on Windows 10, but somebody else running Reaper on Windows 10 is able to use it.

Michael Willis Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Now that the plate plugin has stabilized, I'm working on my other goal for v3: A stand-alone early reflections plugin. I've been wanting to do this ever since seeing Glenn Fricker's showcase in which he turned the late reverb level down to zero. The new plugin uses the same the early reflections algorithm as Dragonfly Room and Hall, but doesn't include a late reverb algorithm. You will notice the "Reflection Type" menu, which wasn't available in the Hall or Room plugins. While digging around in Freeverb3's early reflections algorithm, I found that it contained several lists of numbers representing gain levels and delay times for different reflection patterns, but the Freeverb3 plugins only used one of those settings. I decided to expose some of the other ones, and indeed they result in quite different sounds. I made up names only vaguely related to how they sound, try them all! The one called "Concert Venue" is the one used in the Freeverb3 plugins as well as Dragonfly Room and Hall. The color scheme is supposed to represent some of the pastel colors of early morning... I'm still trying to decide if I like it, but it will probably grow on me like the other plugins did.

Thanks for sharing these. The best.
Michael Willis Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 A release candidate for v3 is now available. I moved it out of beta as an indication that I'm not going to change the plugin parameters, which means that the two new plugins will remain backward compatible in future releases. I still can't promise anything for the people who experienced crashes, but please let me know how it goes if you try this one. Also the new manuals are drafted. They're not as involved as the manuals for Hall and Plate, since these new plugins are a lot more simple, but anybody inclined please take a few minutes and proofread them: Dragonfly Plate ManualDragonfly Early Reflections Manual 1
Michael Willis Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Dragonfly Reverb Version 3.0.0 has been officially released! After several people encouraged me, the website now includes links for donations... and swag! 4 1 1
Michael Willis Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Important update: Please download the new Dragonfly Reverb 3.2.3. This fixes a bug which could cause bad behavior immediately upon loading the plugin, including a blast of noise that some people experienced. Edited December 7, 2020 by Michael Willis Updated link to 3.2.3, since 3.2.2 was broken. 3
