I had the hardware for both units and use them extensively so 100% familiar with how they sound.

And I'm not doing it based off of my ears. I know the algorithm, have the exact coefficients, and there was no guesswork except for the potentiometer curves and parts of the room algorithm that I'm still working out, which is a completely separate component of the reverb.

But when I put it up for sale, I'll make sure to go into detail about all that so people who buy it know what they're getting.

Can you sell it, or would you have to do some renaming in order to get around trademark/etc ?

Consider reaching out to Audiority - I know they have some virtual recreations of Space Station hardware.

Luckily the trademark is public domain!

Are the ROMs, though? (Not trying to be combative; I've had to deal with this a lot when developing emulation-based plugins.)

Can you tell me more about the experience you've had?

Are you also going to go into detail about the use of AI to generate the code?

[_o1yi]

Why would I? When you buy a car part, they don't print on the box they used AutoCAD in order to build it. When you rent a movie they don't talk about using DaVinci Resolve to edit it, right? People use AI now to build software. I don't think that's going to change any time soon.

I was watching a video where Sean Costello the creator of Valhalla Reverbs was talking about the original Schroeder algorithm design for the first digital reverberator. Schroeder had to schedule time on an IBM time-sharing system days in advance. Then he'd have to write out the code in machine language. Then he had to drive 30 minutes to where the only DAC he had access to was in order to test out his algorithm. Repeat. We don't do that shit anymore.

How is this different?

I don't try to hide my AI tracks. I'll gladly tell anybody that AI helped me do it because it did such a fantastic job. I mean, that's literally what this post is about!

My plug-in sounds way better than the UM-282 which was hand-coded before AI was getting popular. That's all that matters!

Honestly I think you should re-examine your own position. I see you've written plugin software in the past and I'm sure you spent a long time on DSP algorithms and learning and understanding.

Well I did the same thing with web-based software for the last 25 years. The world doesn't give two shits man. The world is going to do what the world is going to do.

You're free to have your own opinion

Sell it?

Wat?
