Eventide announced that its Clockworks Legacy,
Reverb, and Octavox plug-ins will be available for
the Windows XP Pro Tools platform in August. In addition, these plug-ins and the H3000 Band Delays will gain support for Digidesign's new ICON and Command 8 control surfaces as free upgrades, also due in August for Mac Pro Tools users.
The Clockworks Legacy plug-in bundle is a collection of digital versions of
Eventide's first five hardware effects processors. The H949 Harmonizer
pitch shifter put a randomizer on the delay to create more natural sounding,
doubling and harmonies. The original was widely utilized by many top
engineers and performers, including a young Jimmy Page, who adopted the
H949, the only piece of digital gear to grace his rig. Other plug-ins
include: the Omnipressor, modeled after the legendary analog processor.
Dubbed the compressor with an attitude, the Omnipressor is capable of
extreme effects such as Dynamic Reversal and accomplishes its unique magic
by compressing the signal above threshold and expanding it below. The
Instant Phaser is the plug-in version of the first phaser effect,
and Instant Flanger is a dedicated flanger which allows the blending of
modulation sources. The H910, Eventide's first Harmonizer effects processor
and the world's first pitch changer, recreates the sound of the
original, down to the micro pitch detune often used for thickening
instruments and vocals.
Eventide's Reverb plug-in is a multi-effect plug-in that incorporates a pair
of delays, pre and post stereo three-band parametric EQ, a
compressor, and a Lo-Fi effect. The Eventide Reverb plug-in uses the highest
quality reverb algorithms from its flagship Orville, including a full
complement of halls, chambers, plates, rooms, and ambience.
Derived from its flagship hardware processor, Orville, the Eventide Octavox
features eight-voices of diatonic pitch shifting, each with level and pan
controls, up to 2.4 seconds of delay, and an eight-octave range. Octavox is
a flexible creation tool which allows users to create anything from stacked
harmonies, multi-voice micro pitch detuning, and wide choirs to musical
rhythmic sequences. Tempo parameters track session tempo and meter so the
delays are always in sync.
