@scumvullage recently said he’d got bsaylor partconv~ to work… but it consuming all cpu.

> Hi there, I’ve been patching with Pd for a while, and successfully porting most of what I do onto the Organelle. However, I’ve recently run into a problem when trying to get the ‘bsaylor~’ library working. From my (limited) understanding, the source code is freely available, but the externals have only been compiled for 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux. Hence, when trying to run, say, ‘partconv~’, I get some error message along the lines of “ELFCLASS64 incompatible with ELFCLASS32” when I …

generally convolution reverbs are pretty cpu intensive.  
not sure if there are any that take enough shortcuts to be done on smaller devices.

that said… bela faq says:  
Can it do convolution reverb?  
“A few years ago a student in our lab implemented a convolution reverb on a standard, unoptimized Beaglebone Black, with impulse responses as long as 12 seconds. So yes, the processing power is there.”  
and the Organelle has the same kind of processing power, so perhaps the right algo can make it happen 🙂
