Alesis Midiverb / Midifex / Midiverb II emulator for Schwung

README from GitHub, GPL-3.0

schwung-midiverb

Schwung audio-FX module that emulates the Alesis Midiverb, Midifex, and Midiverb II rack reverbs (1986, 13-bit DASP DSP at 23.4 kHz).

DSP based on thement/midiverb_emulator (GPL-3.0).

You must supply the ROMs

The effects are the units' own DSP programs, and they are not ours to distribute: no ROMs and no effect algorithms are included. The module runs each unit's program ROM on a cycle-accurate interpreter of its DASP DSP. Upload your own dumps on the module's page in Schwung Manager (or copy them into the module's roms/ folder):

UnitFileSize
Midiverbmidiverb.rom16384 bytes
Midifexmidifex.rom16384 bytes
Midiverb IImidiverb2.rom32768 bytes

Any subset works. A unit without its ROM is marked (no ROM) in the Unit menu and passes audio through unchanged.

Versions before 0.3.0 bundled decompiled copies of the effect programs. They were removed in 0.3.0.

Programs

  • Midiverb: 64 programs
  • Midifex: 64 programs
