TAP Reverb Editor is the standalone JACK counterpart of the LADSPA
plugin TAP Reverberator, which is part of the TAP-plugins LADSPA
plugin set. This means that the two programs/plugins perform the same
audio processing, but they have some advantages over each other:

* TAP Reverberator is a LADSPA plugin. It has limited capabilities
  with regard to the user interface (besides global plugin parameters,
  only the Reverb Type can be choosed; changing any internal parameter
  is not possible). On the other hand, it can be automated when used
  in powerful host programs such as Ardour.

* TAP Reverb Editor is a separate JACK application. It has its own
  special user interface that allows for changing any internal
  parameter on-the-fly, as well as plotting the impulse response of
  Reverb Types as a visual aid. On the other hand, it cannot be
  automated from other programs; its main use is to allow for
  developing one's own Reverb Types.

Reverb Types created with this program can be easily 'exported' into
the LADSPA version. (Easily means: you have to copy two files and
re-compile TAP-plugins.) For a detailed description of this process,
please refer to the TAP Reverb Editor user manual.

To get satisfactory results with TAP Reverb Editor, you will need to
set your system up to run JACK well. See <http://jackit.sf.net> for
details.

This program relies on The GIMP Toolkit (GTK+) version 2.0. You need
the GTK+-2.0 development libraries correctly installed to be able to
compile.

Please refer to the file INSTALL, for instructions on compiling and
installing this program.
