  • Page 28: Wet/Dry Examples

    3. SETUP 3.4.1. Wet/Dry Examples Series Using Series routing, if the tap position of the dry amp is pre-Preset A and B, this gives you an unprocessed signal in the dry amp, and a signal that is processed by both Presets in the wet amp. Set the Insert Mix to 0% and try using a combination of modulation and reverb in the wet amp, such as Even- Vibe in series with SP2016 Reverb.

  • Page 31: Pre/Post Amplifier

    3. SETUP 3.7. Pre/Post Amplifier If your guitar amp has an effects loop, it is sometimes desirable to put certain effects such as drive or compression before the preamp, and other effects such as delay and reverb after the preamp. This can be referred to as a Pre/Post setup, or the four-cable method (4CM).
  • Page 32: Dual Inserts With A Daw Or Mixing Console

    3. SETUP • Turn Kill Dry on for whichever presets are in the amp’s effects loop. • Check out Dual Routing (Section 6.2.2) for more info. 3.8. Dual Inserts with a DAW or Mixing Console The H90 is well suited to be used as an outboard effects processor for a mixing console or your DAW. Using Dual Routing allows you to use the H90 as two separate signal processing paths, so Path 1 can be your reverb bus, and Path 2 can be your delay bus.

  • Page 43 5. PLAY MODES Performance Parameter Assignment Options Program Tap Tempo 5.2.1.2. Map to External Controllers You may find that you’ll want more than just six footswitches to control the variety of performance parameters offered by a given Program. For instance, you may want to always control the bypass/active states of your Programs and Presets using the H90’s footswitches and control the HotSwitches and algorithm-specific performance parameters from another source.
  • Page 44: Quick Knob Assignments

    5. PLAY MODES This allows you to have your time based effects always be in sync to the H90’s tempo. For example, you can specify a 1/4 note triplet delay time, change the H90’s tempo from 120 BPM to 160 BPM, and you will now have a 1/4 note triplet delay time at 160 BPM.
  • Page 45 5. PLAY MODES  Tip Any combination of Quick Knob assignments can be made to suit your Program or performance needs. You can map all of the Quick Knobs to the Parameters of Preset A or B, or mix things up between both Preset and Program-level parameters.

TriceraChorus pairs rich BBD-style trichorusing with another classic effect of the 1980s: Eventide MicroPitch detuning. This effect can be used to thicken the sound, to add static chorusing, and to spread the stereo field by detuning the left and right signals in opposite directions.

    MicroPitch and Crystals — go-to sounds for inspiration. Crystals Crystals is a classic Eventide effect combining twin reverse pitch shifters, delays, feedback, and reverb. It can create out-of-this-world climbing and cascading pitched delays, unique sounding reverbs, and granular effects for helping instruments stand out in a mix.

  • Page 202 11. ALGORITHM GUIDE introduced the word “glitching” to the pro-audio vocabulary. The H949 was the world’s first de-glitched Harmonizer. Unlike the Diatonic pitch shifters, pitch shifting is in the feedback loop allowing for arpeggiated repeats.  Note For the purists in our audience, you may remember that the H910 and H949 were mono in, stereo out devices.

    Auto Engage is On, you won’t hear the frozen signal when you are not flexing. Polyphony A low-latency, high quality polyphonic pitch shifter capable of so much more. Making use of Eventide’s new SIFT (Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking) technology, this algorithm shifts any chord or note you throw at it with zero tracking errors, all while the preserving the tone of your guitar.
  • Page 217 11. ALGORITHM GUIDE  Tip The Percussive instrument mode is designed to prioritize preserving the transients and tone of the original signal while also having less latency. For applications where you would like to re-tune a guitar or bass (Mix is 100% wet) Percussive mode may work better for small shift intervals.
  • Page 218: Prism Shift

    Open the door to never before heard polyphonic effects. PrismShift leverages sophisticated polyphonic pitch tracking and Eventide’s new low-latency polyphonic pitch shifting engine to generate 3 arpeggiated voices (Low, Mid, High)—all from a single chord. The detected chord intervals are separated, staggered and pitch shifted to create 4 different arpeggio types: rising, falling, rising/falling, and falling/rising The arpeggios span up to 3 octaves, and can use 6 different groups of intervals.
  • Page 219 11. ALGORITHM GUIDE then the high voice will rise, following by a rising mid voice, and then a rising low voice. This creates a simultaneous ascending while descending sort of effect. The choices are: • L-M-H • L-H-M • M-L-H •...

    H8000, its lush sound and popularity encouraged us to feature it as one of the premier Algorithms in Eventide’s Space guitar pedal.
