Hey Felix, Good to hear you have some joy with pd.
Regarding reverb, there was a recent thread on the pd list about this titled "reverb in pd" (check the archives) including one from Claude who is one of the pd devs on Puredyne. The [rev1-3~] externals are also included in Puredyne already. Not sure about the canvas colour stuff, sorry.
