    Ebony (EMT console with emt 140 recreation) was suppose to come out earlier but finally it will be coming on the 3rd of July (and probably the update for Ivory should see the light of day before, with a multiband compressor added to the updated eq).
    The latest comments from @giancarlo on AA forum on it :
    "
    I confirm ebony will be the biggest thing of the year
    Basically we split now
    - Early reflections
    - Late reflections
    - Harmonics and very low frequency

    So we have for the first time predelay between early and late reflections but differently from other developers we have harmonic distortion, very relevant for plates.

    Cpu load:
    - Vnxt 140 4 seconds is 54% on the test cpu using 3 harmonics
    - Ebony reverb goes from 11% to 17% depending on the quality settings (last value is for 5 harmonics)
    - Ebony is refreshing samples 4 times faster then nebula 140. It means high quality
    - Original reverb is in good condition, less resonating and metallic. A dream
    - You can get very distorted reverb if you want... Or clean ones
    "

    and :
    "
    Said that, ebony will feature a lot of very rare equipment which could be connected with this reverb.
    This time we are raising the bar quite a lot
    Not confirmed, but we'll build also an expander from one of those compressor.
    You cannot simply ignore this release
    "

    From the screenshot/video from his instagram page (which is here : https://www.instagram.com/giancarloacustica/), I'm guessing it will be the whole deal : pres, eqs, filters, compressors (and apparently expanders) and reverb :wow: :). I don't know which comps will be emulated (wispers say Neumanns).

    A few more details (neumann confirmed btw)

    Details
    - 140 reverb. Till 5th harmonics. Separate early and late reflections
    Separate harmonics control = only acustica does it
    Separate early/reflections and predelay on late reflections only = never achieved in any other acustica acqua or nebula library
    - Rare 111 and 411 module equalizers (2 consoles)
    - 277 rackmount compressor, featuring also expander ratios! First time in acustica land, not possible till now.
    - 112 console compressor, featuring also 487 attack times
    - 487 rackmount compressor (n.man)
    - Ultrarare e 82 broadcasting console and compressor.

    - Very powerful routing, with dry/wet lines

    = Mindblowing. Easily the Acustica product of the year

    This mix uses Ebony on the snare....... I find I can dial Ebony in faster than any verb I've ever use and it sounds fantastic.
