[music-dsp] Stereo widening a reverb

[Lubomir I. Ivanov]

The dry signal seems to have its 'side' peaking around -63dBFS.
The wet signal on the other hand, has quite healthy 'side' peaking 
around -16dBFS. I believe this is the result of some interesting L / R 
distribution of the taps from the algorithm.

I don't see why the M / S splitter code (post-reverb) wouldn't work here.

Here is an example of the 'wet' signal flow:

---[ reverb ] -- [ mod ] -- [ tone ] -- [m / s] --[ +] [dry / wet sum]

[mod] - a post reverb modulation (delay based fx such as chorus) can ensure 
that stereo is always acheived, if the reverb
does not deal well with mono inputs.
[tone eq] - can be bass / treble control or a hp / lp chain.
[m / s] - controls the width of the stereo-image (check 'sgain' variable in 
my previous message)
