Thanks for your interest, Lee.
As we proudly announced during the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, AudioEase is our development partner for the MIR as far as the convolution-core is concerned. Other partners are AKG or the Vienna Konzerthaus, for example, and even more names that will be announced later. I think we all agree that AudioEase is one of the most knowledgeable companies when it comes to sampling reverb, and they were as excited as we are to join this high-profile partnership.

That said, I think it is no secret any more that the MIR will be not "just another reverb", but a dedicated mixing frontend for orchestral music, tightly integrated with our sampled instruments. The intuitive concept as well as the amount of data involved will be very different from AltiVerb, and will result in a completly different product, and is by no means "a port" of anything existing already. (Just to give you an idea: During high resolution rendering, the MIR will process about 300 single convolutions of completely proprietary IR-collections.) Convolution is an important technical aspect of the MIR, but only one about quite a few others.
The MIR will be a stand-alone engine, developed for PC-platforms only right now, for the sake of focussing our forces to the main tasks.
I hope this sheds some light on the issue [:)]
Kind regards,
