Reverb
Altiverb is a sampled acoustics processor that offers realistic one-, two- and four-channel sampled acoustics of real halls, cathedrals, bathrooms — and virtually any acoustic environment. Included in the release are dozens of presets ranging from the Amsterdam Concertgebouw to the back of a Ford Transit van, all of these can browsed online and downloaded from www.audioease.com/IR .
Altiverb provides mono-to-mono, mono-to-stereo, stereo-to-stereo, mono-to-quad, and stereo-to-quad effects, making it ideal for surround reverb and ambience applications. All processing is done in real time.
An Altiverb preset is called an 'impulse response', which is created by firing a starter pistol or by playing a sine wave sweep from a speaker in an auditorium, church, or other acoustic space. The ...

- [PT] Pro Tools 7.4.2, OS X 10.5.3 and Intel Mac compatible.
The RTAS version has been fixed to work with optimal performance in Mac OS X 10.5.3 and Pro Tools 7.4.2. Earlier there was the need to exclude some processor cores from RTAS processing, the playback engine can now be set to the number of processor cores available.
- [PT TDM] The TDM version has a fix to make reloading a session with several Altiverbs active reliable. Data traffic to and from the DSPs could be hampered during load of a session, especially with an Expansion Chassis (ethernet or Magma) is connected. The fix makes the traffic reliable, albeit on a chassis somewhat slower.
- [PT ]The RTAS version has been made better compatible for exchanges between PC and Mac, and between HD and LE systems. A session with a TDM version inserted will now open an RTAS instance automatically when transported to an LE system.
- [PT MAC] Stopped CFM support for Pro Tools
- [PC] compatibility with Sonar improved
- [PC] compatibility with pyramix improved, Altiverb 6 XL surround options too
- Removed several smaller problems
- Added possibility to turn off auto update checking
Important note for VST users using automation in VST sessions, as well as all Pyramix users:
Due to necessary improvements in the handling of VST automation data we have been unable to maintain automation in sessions made with Altiverb VST version 6.1.2 or before. Typically: gain knobs left at 0 dB in 6.1.2 or lower appear as +13.2 dB in Altiverb VST 6.2.0. This only goes for automation data. regular saved settings appear fine. Pyramix useres will see this in the loading of regular settings from sessions as well.
This release fixes:
[AU] Logic remembers settings now
[mac] updated de-installer
[VST] CPU spikes in automation presets are gone
[VST] conforms vst sdk 2.4
removed double trigger preset sound
Requirements
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
[VST] Tails properly cleared when resuming playback from stopped state (Wavelab, Sequoia, Samplitude, and others).
[VST] Compatible with Cubase 4.
[VST] Remembers correctly its saved IR.
[VST] Fixed problem with certain V-STack/audio interface combinations.
[PT] some improvements to RTAS buffer system.
