*Porting the YAFR reverb to Max for Live*
This device is a M4L port of the famous "Yafr" (Yet Another Free Reverb) reverberator, designed by Randy Jones "in the syle of David Griesinger", a physicist who is known for many reverberation algorithms behind the Lexicon reverb units.

This example demonstrates how well-established sound processing algorithms can be implemented in Max and that you can get sophisticated and natural-sounding results using only basic Max components.

-> This example is made by Manuel Poletti who ported the reverb example patch found in the $Link Max documentation <https://docs.cycling74.com/max8/vignettes/sound_processing_techniques_topic> built by Randy Jones, who's patch was inspired by the work of David Griesinger on digital reverbs, who built upon research by Manfred Schroeder and Ben Logan in the 1960s on how to electronically emulate the physical $Link plate reverbs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverb_effect#Plate_reverb> introduced in the 1950s by Elektromesstechnik which in turn emulated the actual reverb of a room.
-> When using an existing algorithm it is important to be aware of the license under which it was distributed. In this case, Randy Jones' work was commissioned by Cycling '74 and made available to Max users without restrictions.

If you want to learn more about the design of reverb algorithms, looking for $Link explanations of the Schroeder Reverberator <https://www.google.com/search?q=schroeder+reverberator> could be a good place to start.
