    Mas Osx - Digital Performer 4

    Digital Performer 4 or higher is required to run Altiverb on a Mac G4 400MHz or faster. Holding option resets controls to default values while control gives finer resolution. Altiverb has no latency at 48kHz sample rates. CPU usage depends on hardware, plug-ins, and impulse response length. Using high buffer sizes, mono impulse responses, and high latency mode reduces strain on the CPU. A 6s stereo reverb takes 36% CPU on an 867MHz Mac with 1024 sample buffer.

    MAS OS X- Digital Performer 4.

    0 and up
    System Requirements
    Macintosh G4, 400 Mhz or better, running MacOS 10.2 or higher
    G4 upgrade cards are not supported.
    Digital Performer 4 or higher.

    Modifier Keys
    Holding down the Option (alt) key while operating a control gives more (finer) resolution.
    Holding down the Control (CTRL) key when clicking a control resets it to the default value.

    Latency
    In Digital Performer the latency selector will show a no latency mode in projects with sample
    rates of 48 kHz and lower. In this mode there is no signal delay between the input and
    output of Altiverb.

    Performance Optimization
    The CPU usage is influenced by a number of factors: the speed of the Mac processor, the
    inserted plug-ins channel configuration, the hardware buffer size found in the 'Configure
    hardware' dialog, and the length of the selected impulse response.

    Use high buffer sizes


    The higher the hardware buffer size, the less strain Altiverb puts on the G4 processor.
    Try it out with a few different settings. We recommend using 1024 or 2048 samples
    for best Altiverb performance. Note also that the options for exactly what sizes can be
    chosen depends on the audio hardware you use.

    Use Mono input impulse Responses when possible


    A mono input impulse response often sounds very comparable to a true stereo input
    one, while putting considerably less strain on the processor. When you insert
    Altiverb on a stereo input channel you can select either one via the IR popup menu:
    Use high latency mode when possible
    In high latency mode the dry audio passed through Altiverb will also be delayed.
    This means that when Altiverb is on a master channel, you are able to use high
    latency mode without synchronization problems. However if you use a high latency
    Altiverb on a single track, that track will run out of sync with the other tracks. In this
    case you can choose to delay the other tracks by the same amount as Altiverb (the
    exact latency of Altiverb is always displayed in the info page of the picture display), or
    you can shift the audio on the Altiverb track earlier by the amount of the latency, so
    all tracks will stay aligned.

    Performance examples
    Computer: 867 Mhz Dual Processor
    Hardware buffersize: 1024 samples

    At 48 kHz a 6 second reverb tail on a Stereo to stereo Large concert hall (Concertgebouw)
    takes about 36 % of your processing power in no latency mode.

    At 48 kHz, a 2.7 second reverb tail on a Stereo to 4 channel medium sized hall (Philips Hall)
    takes about 50 % of your processing power in no latency mode.
