v1.1.0 - Perfect State Management
AltiverbSurroundWrapper v1.1.0 Release Notes
🎉 Major Improvement: Perfect State Management!
This release solves the "not all knobs saved" issue completely with a revolutionary hybrid state management system.
✨ New Features
- Hybrid State Management: Saves BOTH VST2 chunks AND individual parameters simultaneously for maximum reliability
- Perfect Session Recall: All Altiverb controls, presets, and settings now save/load flawlessly in Studio One projects
- Early Plugin Loading: Altiverb loads immediately in constructor for instant state management readiness
- Enhanced Compatibility: Improved VST2 hosting and 5.1 channel management
🔧 Technical Improvements
- Dual Approach: Combines chunk-based saving (for presets) with parameter-based backup (for individual controls)
- Robust Restoration: Chunks restore first, then parameters ensure all missing controls are recovered
- Timing Optimization: Proper delays and suspend/resume cycles during state restoration
- Clean Production Build: All debug logging removed for optimal performance
🚀 Performance
- File size: 5.2MB (optimized from previous versions)
- Memory efficient state management
- No performance impact during normal operation
💡 How It Works
- Saving: Plugin automatically saves both Altiverb's internal state (chunks) AND individual parameter values
- Loading: When opening a project, chunks load first for presets, then parameters restore any missing knob positions
- Result: Every single control maintains its exact position across sessions!
🔄 Migration
- Automatic: Projects saved with v1.0.x will automatically upgrade to the new system
- Backward Compatible: Full compatibility with existing Studio One sessions
- No Action Required: Simply replace the old VST3 file with this version
⭐ User Experience

- ✅ Program/preset selections preserved
- ✅ Custom parameter adjustments retained
- ✅ EQ settings, decay times, and modulation exactly as set
- ✅ Zero configuration needed - works immediately
