http://logic-pro-expert.com/logic-pro-blog/2014/09/15/eventide-release-ultrareverb.html
 
Eventide just released their new UltraReverb plugin at a special introductory price of $79 (ends October 17th).
 
Key Features:

• 9 High End Hardware-Based Reverb Algorithms in a Single Native Plug-in
• Halls, Chambers, Rooms, Plates, and Ambience based on Eventide’s flagship hardware processor, the H8000 UltraHarmonizer
• Create acoustically natural or other-worldly environments
• Packed with over 300 killer for mixing, mastering, post production, and sound design
• Includes Artist Presets designed by top engineers and recording professionals
• Stereo Delays (pre or post reverb) with Tempo sync to lock delays in time with your session
• Compressor (pre or post reverb) with key input
• Pre-EQ, Post-EQ, Reverb EQ, and Delay EQ – Four independent, three band parametric equalizers
• Reverb Tail Randomization based on the legendary H949 Harmonizer Random setting
• Modulation Rate and Depth controls
• LoFi control for subtle grit or all out mangling
• Native format for AU, VST, or AAX64. Mac/Windows
• No Physical iLok Key required

It's decent but even at $64.00 I passed, wasn't blown away by it.
If someone needed a verb it'd be a good purchase I suppose. Various features that can be tweaked to get some interesting sounds; good for different applications, sound design.
There's a demo you can try.

...I may be cured of vst gas.

Can I have some of whatever it is your taking?

Well to be honest I've been on a Amp modeler binge. I had a HD500 and DT50 for 4 years, but I'm not playing live anymore so I thought I would try a few things out. Since May I have bought and sold an 11rack, Digitech RP360XP and a Zoom G5. I currently have a Fender Mustang IV ordered. So I have moved on to guitar rig gas. For recording I'm happy with Amplitube and S-Gear, but I like to have something I could play live with if the need comes up.

Eventide makes good stuff...but IMHO their GUIs suck. Plus even at the "release" price...too much.

Yeah, how come they didn't let us have this one for free, at least at first?  That's what they did with the UltraChannel, anyway.  Now everyone thinks their other stuff is overpriced. 
 
But seriously, I agree with Carl.  It's a cool plugin but nothing that wows me.  We are definitely spoiled for reverb plugs these days, and with Valhalla's new updates, the competition at the low end of the price scale is fierce.
 
Cheers,

I've got Valhalla's reverbs and CSR (which is becoming a little underated IMHO). I would like to add Reverberate at some point for a nice convolution verb, but I'm in no hurry.

Hey Eddie,
What Valhalla updates are you talking about? I haven't heard about it and haven't received anything by email. Thanks!

 
Big updates to Vintage Verb and Room are coming any day now.  All reports from beta testers have been extremely positive ... as if Valhalla reverbs weren't already a great value!
 
Cheers,
Eddie

Here we go.

Well I just looked at his blog and it seems whole new algorithms are being added. Can't wait to hear them. I also noted FreqEcho is being updated to 64-bit - I wonder if it will still be free?

Yep, too many reverbs already. Have another concern in reference to Rain's earlier post about Ultra Channel failure.
 
Ultra Channel bit the big one on me again. Got it up and running eventually with rebooting, but did the same thing. Froze Sonar solid and didn't let you bypass the error message to resume the session. Only brighter side was the first crash was looking for an Ilok dongle. This crash was different and said that a required service needed to use the plug was not installed. They are getting better. Reinstall the plugin, reinstall the ilok manager was the solution again in the error message, which didn't fix the last crash last time.
 
The new reverb may be the best in the world, but if it goes down like Ultra Channel with the same Ilok that is not an Ilok protection mess, will have to pass.

You can download FreqEcho 64bit free right now. It's been out for awhile...sorry I thought you guys knew or I would have posted the info. (cclarry has dropped the ball Hahaha) The new VVV has several new algorithms 15 total. The smooth plate is getting a lot of praise on KVR. Some guy has made 50 presets for download in the link I posted.
 
I checked and my FreqEcho may be a beta version. E-mail Valhalla support and he will send you the downloads.

I think I'll wait for the official release, not too keen on running beta versions!

Yeah, it's weird.
 
The Ultrachannel update installed for me without a problem. Still worked.
 
Then on two occasions, the dam thing went south, messing everything up in its path. As much as I'm happy for those who have no problem with Ilok, has been only a source of frustration and unpredictable failure here.
 
Don't have the knowledge to figure out why, when everyone else almost is not experiencing any issue. Use Iobit AWC cleaner and Registry First Aid. They may be knocking out some registry key that takes the constipated Ilok empire down.
 
Mention of Valhalla reverbs. No Ilok, no Ilok which is Ilok without dongle, no call response activation. Just $50 fee for entry into almost reverb Nirvana.
 
Never had a single issue with Valhalla, and excited about the pending upgrades.

I have far too many reverb and delay plug-ins, even after thinning the heard during the present rebuild. But odd though it may sound, I use them. Each one has some trick that I found a use for it seems. So I am getting this one too. Eventide makes amazing hardware, I still have an Instant Phaser and Instant Flanger in the rack because they haven't released plug-in emulations of them that I can use.

I tried the demo. It sounded good to me, but I'm happy with my Valhalla stuff and my new MMultibandconvolution. I hate to actually spend money...I would have to keep the ilok thing if I do. The Ultrachannel is nice, but it's redundant. I probably won't keep it forever.
