Known issues:
If you close a VST song while the Altiverb browser is open (and a category is selected) you may experience a crash. This is after song save though, it should be harmless. The same goes for host application quit, as that closes the song as well.
In some situations the IR Browser window does not open in Digital Performer.
Altiverb v 7.0.1
Dec 12, 2011
MacOS X Intel
Look & Feel
Altiverb 7 looks and feels better. Often used controls all line up on the front, while the more exotic ones are in drawers beneath.
Picture Browser
The IR library is more accessible then ever because of Altiverb's new visual browser: quicker loading, organize-by-size, and single click favorites.
Keyword Searching
A powerful keyword search field makes you find items like 'metallic resonances' 'bed room', 'street slapback' or 'brick studio'
Brightness
An algorithmic synthetic reverb layer that is tightly tailored to the impulse response provides a type of brightness that an EQ could never boost from a real world room.
News
Keep your IR library up to date from within Altiverb. You can go into Altiverb's news tab, see what's new and proceed to download and install without restarting, all from within Altiverb 7.
Similar
The room does work, but it is not quite the perfect one yet? Hit Similar and Altiverb will suggest similar sounding alternatives to the chosen impulse response.
TDM simplified
In Altiverb 7 XL, the TDM chip management can be done from within Altiverb, using one handy pop-up menu. This feature does away with the long list of Altiverbs in the TDM plug-in popup. On top of that Altiverb 7 XL allows the loading of all IR types (down to mono in / mono out) into a stereo to quad instance of Altiverb.
Total Recall Automation
Everything, including the impulse response choice is automatable in Altiverb 7. This means that you do not have to jump through hoops to fully automate Altiverb 7. And while there are still single-click snapshots, you do not need them to automate Altiverb. You can even read which IR is chosen in the automation curve.
Drag and drop
Just drop any audio onto Altiverb 7 to use it as an impulse response: sweep recordings, several type claps or bangs, or any kind of experimental audio like crashing cars or piano chords. The drag and drop IR feature includes new make-up curves that allows the making of decent IRs using a handheld portable radio, or even slates.
Chaos
Dial in a bit of chaotic modulation and not every hit will sound identical in the reverb. As a bonus tonal material will be dispersed which means that slightly out of tune notes will be covered up in the reverb tail.
Interactive EQ curve
To operate the equalizers you can still use the familiar turning knobs. But Altiverb 7 adds an interactive equalizer curve that allows you to set al four bands including the widths of the parametric ones.
And More...
Altiverb supports 64 bits. It has a new reverb gate, and straightforward pre-delay and attack parameters. Times can be set in note values locked to your song's tempo, and you have 10 times as much space in the stage positioner.

Altiverb v 6.3.0
Dec 12, 2008
MacOS X UB
Changes :
Extensive optimization resulted in reduced CPU loads.
Major rewrites have enhanced overall stability of Altiverb.
When run in sessions higher than 48 kHz, when applying delays in early refs and tail errors in assembling the final IR could occur. This is fixed.
Fixed problem in the naming of Altiverb presets.
[PT] flatter cpu load within Pro Tools systems, reducing "CPU held off too long" -messages.
[PT] fixed problem when using automation presets.
[TDM] Improper load of settings removed.
[PT PC] Altiverb TDM instances now map properly to Altiverb Regular counterparts when no XL authorization is found.
[MAS] when "Reset All Parameters" is on, a song load does not delete all settings anymore.
[AU] After "rescan IR folder" Altiverbs interface remains functioning properly.
[PC] compatibility with Sequoia, Samplitude and Sonar improved.
[PC Pyramix] silence at start of non-realtime mixdowns fixed.
[PC Pyramix] surround mapping of output channels is now compatible.
[PC Pyramix] integration with mascore completed.
[VST] fixed mono-mono IR selection problem.
Altiverb v 6.2.0
Jul 12, 2008
MacOS X UB
[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.
