I have as a goal, going through all of my older libraries and updating them, to be more in-line with my more current programs, in terms of how things run under the hood and how the programs are organized, etc. So this is the next one to get that treatment!
I expect to release the update… hopefully tomorrow. There are a lot of improvements. All the reverbs are using my current internal settings for reverbs (mainly talking about how the dynamics are handled). This alone probably should make a noticeable difference. I’ve moved the programs to a new category, looking to get some of my older programs better organized and have some different libraries grouped together.
I’ve edited the impulses so they don’t have excess length (as they used to), and weeded out a lot of impulses that just weren’t contributing anything (harmonic impulses where it’s just noise floor, no actual impulse). Also reduced sample count for harmonics that actually were above noise floor because there were just too many. These changes resulted in the reverbs being greatly reduced in filesize, which hugely reduced RAM use and in some cases also CPU use.
I simplified the library by removing 1k, 6k, and DIST versions, leaving only one version. I just don’t think the CPU use was that different between the 1k and 6k versions, or at least it isn’t now, with the better CPUs out there. Plus the reduced CPU use from weeding out the excessive impulses makes up for not having the 1k programs anymore. The DIST ones, I just don’t think were really necessary. Probably few people used them.
Last big addition- I made new alt versions for every reverb. Some are only subtly different, others are more noticeable. I think it gives more variety to the library.
