Isn't that like the Ursa Major Stargate 323 Reverb? Greybox audio released code for this about a year ago: https://github.com/greyboxaudio/SG-323
How can you say it's a 100% faithful recreation if you've never programmed DSP before?
Maybe the OP has the hardware and can compare the sound both subjectively and objectively? Does it have to be 100% exact copy to be called the same? (Individual electronic components are never the same btw)
I used to do that exact job 10 years ago (without AI, obviously). I figure that career would be very different now. There was something exciting about sleuthing out how those old machines worked: we used a black box approach, sending in test samples, recording the output, and comparing against the digital algorithm’s output. Trial and error, slowly building a sense of what sort of filter or harmonics could bend a wav…

As a hobby I suppose. There's a very real chance there won't be enough paid work available for that
You’re ignoring Jevons paradox. Everyone, both people and companies, will be making exponentially more software with these tools. Software that both needs to get created, debugged and updated to realize the intention of it. That’s what our time will be spent on as programmers.
People are already struggling to find work from oversupply of talent and not enough demand

Standard AI response. Similar to " production-ready", "according to industry standards" or "common practices" to justify and action or indicating it is done, without even compiling or running code, let alone understand the output. An AI can't hear, and even worse, relate this. Ask it to create a diode ladder filter, and it will boost it created a "physically correct analog representation" while output ting clean and…
I tried this for laughs with Gemini 3 Pro. It spit out the same ZDF implementation that is on countless GitHub repos, originating from the 2nd Pirkle FX book (2019).
awesome, in 2025 I made a few apps for my small business that I have spent hours trawling the web looking for, and I have little coding skills. Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a different world, reading the scepticism on here about AI. I'm sure there enterprise cases where it doesn't make sense, but for the your everyday business owner it's amazing what can be done. maybe it's a failure of imagination but I can…
No you're absolutely right. One of the things I'm starting to see and I wrote another Hacker News post about this is that more people are starting to come out talking about all the mistakes AI is making even as it gets better. Then You've got people like Karpathy talking about how drastic the landscape is shifting I've been doing this for 25 years and I can tell you that the AI is a better coder than me, but I know h…

Thanks for mentioning this project, I have been looking for a good reverb plugin for Linux for a while now and this sounds great.

For context, I'm working on a proper SPICE component-level Diode Ladder. I tried this for laughs with Gemini 3 Pro. It spit out the same ZDF implementation that is on countless GitHub repos, originating from the 2nd Pirkle FX book (2019).
Since there is a Ursa Major project on github, made by an owner, who reimplemented this also based on observation, made into a plugin, I wonder how much was regurgitated by the AI agent.

Wait you used Claude Code to recreate patents and schematics? Are the schematics for this easily available somewhere? Was Claude just able to one-shot this?
I use Claude more as a learning tool in this context. It's kind of funny actually got the idea because I heard that in China they're basically replacing teachers with AI, where we're trying to get AI out of our school systems in the United States. So I went into it with that mindset instead of trying to have Claude do the whole thing to teach me how to do it so I understand it and I'm still learning, trying to recrea…
What is the point of asking it to teach you something to "understand it" if Claude can just do it for you? This is the real question everyone should be asking beyond just employment (employment will definitely change in the coming months, no doubt). I would pivot away from programming personally.
