If we already have these latest betas that are now the GA release, do we need to login and re-download and install?

I would recommend using the latest release versions, as these will be more up to date as compared to the various betas.

For example, I fixed a bug right before releasing VVV 1.5.0. It turns out I was reusing one of the filters twice in the reverb structure. This was a simple copy & paste error, but fixing the bug makes 3 of the reverb modes (Smooth Room, Smooth Random, Nonlin) sound MUCH lusher, with wider stereo and longer decays. I don't think that the bug fix made it into any of the betas - just the release versions.

If you received the update mails near the end of December 2014 with the latest plugin versions, then you should be good to go. Future updates will go straight into the user accounts, versus being distributed by mass email.

Glad to have this account system !! Thanks Sean.

By the way, any news concerning a future product from Valhalla DSP ?

Krakatau · Post by **Krakatau** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 9:50 am

I would easily expect from Sean some uncharted ways from him of using delay networks , like pitch transposers/harmonisers or comb filters and alike (Ohmygod, MFM2, Dronebox, Kaleïdoscope)

Hermetech Mastering · Fri Mar 27, 2015 10:18 am

Something like the original Eventide Harmoniser is sorely lacking in VST space.

Much better system Sean, thanks.

Still would like an email update notification, so I know to come get it. It's not practical to visit every developer's site whose stuff I have, daily, or weekly, or whatever, to see if by any chance any of them have updated anything I use. Doesn't need to actually include the file(s), just let me know it's up, then I can get it at my convenience.

@Dwozzle : yeah could be great to have a kind of newsletter to notifiy user about update
or new product.

I still would like to see a Valhalla Vecho delay/"V"intage echo plugin from Sean. Make the GUI simple to to use like his reverb plugins, with different modes that model vintage and modern echo/delay units and include a pitch/crystal/reverse/shimmer function/mode. Then the people on the fence about wanting the EchoGuy plugin will just buy this. Or the Strymon Timeline or TC Alter Ego hardware/pedal type delays.

Or like Krakatau said, get into the uncharted plugins area, and do a FBDN reso/comb/filter pitch/harmonising thing, much like the newer hardware pedals from Digitech and Electro Harmonix, Like Digitech's 12 polyphonic string effect, Droptune, Lux anti-chorus doubler, or Electro Harmonix's attempt at physical model instrument emulation like their Hammond organ C9/B9 pedals or the Ravi Sitarish pedal etc. Bet he could do a bad ass Leslie sim too, but it's got to have a cab/speaker model in the chain.

I often just use the FreqEcho plugin for simple delay without using the FreqShifter.

I've put some info on the User Accounts system into the FAQ:

https://valhalladsp.com/faq/#UserAccounts

If you purchased licenses 2nd hand, they won't be in the user accounts system by default. The user accounts are based on licenses purchased through Valhalla DSP, either through the older PayPal system, or through the current web solution (which went live December 22nd 2014).

For people that have a combination of 2nd hand licenses and licenses purchased directly through Valhalla DSP, just send me an email with your identifying information (name, email address associated with your account, what licenses were purchased 2nd hand, any other information that helps me to track down the transfers) and I will add your licenses to your user account. If you only purchased 2nd hand licenses, you need to create a user account yourself, and send me an email when this is done with the above identifying information.

Not exactly the case but my first purchase (valhallashimmer) was made indirectly by the head of Dbu (Johnathan Gibson) at the last quarter of 2010

I just sent a message through your contact board for more detail

Nice mention of VintageVerb in this interview with Greg Kurstin, about the making of the latest Adele record:

Also: Last time they asked, on Gear----z, what the best reverb plugin was, VVV (Valhalla Vintage Verb) won by a large margin. Indeed, the poll ended up getting deleted, probably because it made VVV’s competitors jealous, but there’s an archived copy: https://archive.is/H7B7c

Personally, I would like to get a download of the final 1.5.0 beta (I have the post-beta final 1.5 release); the “Smooth Room”, “Smooth Random”, and “nonlinear” algorithms had a different character because of a copy and paste bug Sean made in the beta.

Also, a question: Is “Sanctuary” the only mono-input algorithm in VVV?

I think all the sticky polls got deleted, but there is a new category on GS for "Top Ten," so the results might show up there.

This wasn't a GOOD character. It would have resulted in too short of decays for these modes, as well as ugly colorations. I basically used the same filter twice in the reverb loop, which is a no-no.

Also, a question: Is “Sanctuary” the only mono-input algorithm in VVV?

Yep. The rest are stereo-in, stereo-out.
