Hi Robert,

if you provide an IR I could tell you what algo and which params are used.

Cheers

Dear all,

Now for the long version:

While the reverb algorithms are proprietary, the digital circuit design is fairly simple by >today's standards. Ursa Major was a small company and inside is just a lot of 8bit >EPROMS, Latches, Counters etc. all clocked by an 8Mhz ceramic oscillator. No CPU or >proprietary silicon whatsoever.

The official >service manual is incredibly detailed and I have also dumped the contents of all >eeproms. But I'm just a hobbyist and if I want this project to succeed, I'm going to need >help. Which brings me back to my initial questions and this mailing list :)

I'm happy to hear any questions/ideas/etc.!

Best,
Robert
