Nepenthe
Nepenthe is a reverb designed to be smooth, transparent, and easy to use.
Nepenthe's algorithm is based on the concept of velvet noise. Rather than building echoes with a network of delay lines, it uses a predetermined set of randomly-generated echoes. This is a very simple design, which works well with modern CPU optimizations, so Nepenthe runs efficiently.
Nepenthe is open source, and its code is annotated with detailed explanations of the design.

Controls
Time is how long it takes, in seconds, for the reverb to decay by 60dB.
