Dattorro plate reverb — input diffusers + figure-eight tank (JAES 1997 topology and taps)
npm install @audio/reverb-dattorroimport dattorro from '@audio/reverb-dattorro'Input diffusion (4 series allpasses) feeding a figure-eight tank of two cross-coupled branches (allpass → delay → one-pole damping → decay → allpass → delay), each branch's output re-entering the other. Structure, delay lengths, and output taps are Dattorro's Table 1/2 ("Effect Design Part 1: Reverberator and Other Filters", JAES 45(9), 1997), reference rate 29761 Hz, scaled to fs. Modulation (chorus on the tank delays) is omitted — a static tank. Mono input sums to a single feed and both output taps blend into one channel; stereo input feeds the tank from (L+R)/2 and reads the two taps independently for width. Strictly stereo, not N-channel: only data[0]/data[1] are read and written.

Mutates data in place and returns it. Fresh tank state is allocated per call — no state carries across calls, reprocess the whole buffer each time.
Use when: plate/studio-reverb character, long shimmering tails.
Not for: short room ambience (use freeverb/schroeder) or a physically-modeled spring "boing" (use spring).
Part of the @audio/reverb family.
