Ircam Verb 3

Room acoustics & reverberation

Ircam Verb 3 is an algorithmic room acoustics and reverberation processor. It has a modular construction, employing a recursive filtering reverb engine, reproducing and synthesizing the specific acoustical characteristics of any spatial sound environment. Following a decade of intense research by the Acoustic and Cognitive Spaces Team at IRCAM, the Ircam Verb 3 introduce state of the art techniques for room acoustics simulation utilising advanced perceptive models, concealing the complexity behind the actual reverb algorithms and allowing for a flexible and intuitive experience for the user. The Ircam Verb 3 provides eight input and output channels, presenting the option for reverberation processing in multi-channel and surround formats. A built in input/output (I/O) routing matrix provides instant flexibility when setting up the I/O in relation to the physical audio monitoring in the control room.

Ircam Verb 3 is built around our latest 64-bit version 3 framework improving the processing performance dramatically. The graphic rendering in Verb 3 is using a GPU-efficient 2D/3D graphic engine. The engine, introduced first in the Flux:: Pure Analyzer System, is based on the OpenGL standard optimizing the audio-to-visual experience utilizing the GPU on the computer’s built in graphics card.
