Big Surf Spring Reverb, and MORE !

Hi Gang,
It's snowing here in N.Y.C., what a great time to build that Spring Reverb (no pun intended !)!
Typically these spring reverb emulators employ over one hundred allpass filters to attempt this effect.
Huge, unwieldy and complex !
So I came up with another way.
This is my lab demonstrator, a prototype, nowhere near complete, but it works great !
Dead Simple as always, I've developed a REAL room size control, NOT the usual 'mix' control labeled as 'room size'.
My room size design mathematically emulates any 3 dimensional space from 1 cubic foot (a VERY small room) to Grand Central station. And the difference is amazing !
(And yes, a 1 gallon paint can DOES reverberate!)
Switch in my Spring Reverb module and hear what happens next !
I've included several presets to get you started, from a very nice basic reverb to an oil drum, girl's room, Grand Central station, and of course, several spring reverb presets to get you under way !
Like I said, this is a prototype, VERY simple, a 4 banger (cell) primary delay, a TUNEABLE secondary allpass filter, and my custom designed 4 element TUNEABLE spring emulator, not 100 + elements !
If you've ever dealt with real spring reverbs, you know they can get out of control if they're overfed, so be careful with the levels !
Also, if you switch between certain program sources, you'll get that classic 'kick the reverb cabinet' sound !
JJAAAANNNGGG !
The included .dll has been tested in Magix Samplitude X and works fine.
I'm going back into lurking mode, this is a gift to those who have treated me kindly, enjoy !
