December 9, 2008 - Altiverb 6.3.0 for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista, all plug-in formats

• 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.

July 31, 2008 - Altiverb 6.2.1 for Windows XP/Vista, VST and RTAS

• [PC] Fixed a problem that occurred on sample rates above 48 kHz (running Altiverb 6.2.0 in a session on 88.2 and 96 kHz could result in distortion, clicks or no audio at all, this has been fixed in this 6.2.1 update).

July 10, 2008 - Altiverb 6.2.0 for Mac OS X & Windows XP/Vista, all plug-in formats

• [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.
