Eventide
makes super-phat, rackmount effects units for serious sound design and sound
processing. These puppies make great studio tools, but hold up to the test for live
performing as well. Choose from the three following rackmount options: the Orville, the Eclipse
and the DSP7000 Harmonizer. Then go proceed to sonically destroy all barriers between
you and your ultimate sound.
Eventide’s Orville Effects Processor
The Orville gives you 24-bit/96kHz processing with eight times
the DSP of the legendary DSP4000. You can process up to two sets of dual stereo
signals, while its UltraShifter lets you produce natural-sounding vocal harmonies in realtime
in up to a full four-octave range. Hundreds of new
presets, plus DSP4000 presets are included with the Orville, and it is also
compatible with plug-ins on the DSP4000/4500 cards. Four-channel
reverbs give you 360-degree, surround-sound ambience. You also get reverbs, pitch
shifters, distortion, dynamics, EQ, phasing, flanging, and other music and
production effects — all selectable from the front-panel.
The onboard object-oriented algorithm construction kit makes it easy to create new programs
with its virtual
patchbay which includes over 150 distinct effects modules. This interface
can be used with Eventide’s VSIGFILE, a PC/Windows-based freeware editing
tool for developing presets. Communicating with Orville via
the rear-panel MIDI or direct COM ports, VSIGFILE offers an object-oriented GUI. (VSIGFILE requires
Windows 3.1 or higher — including Windows NT — and at least a 486 machine, 8MB RAM,
or a Power Mac running a suitable Windows emulator.
The Orville’s Timesqueeze algorithm ensures realtime, high-quality pitch
shifting, and time compression and expansion. Up to four digital ins and outs can be
used in a configuration of AES/EBU and/or S/PDIF. The analog ins on this box can
also be used with any combo of up to four XLR or mono jacks.
Eventide’s DSP 7000 Harmonizer
The DSP7000 is like an old classic Harmonizer that’s been updated for the modern world to deliver super-charged
processing power and with an easy-to-use interface. The DSP7000 gives you 24-bit conversion at 96kHz and
award-winning effects like reverbs, chorus, delays, EQ, flanging, noise gate,
phasing, pitch shift, UltraShifter and multiband compression. You also get tap tempo,
mastering tools, diatonic shift and dynamic processing with this device.
This ultra powerful effects box comes with 500 factory presets, 150 internal user presets
(expandable via PCMCIA) and analog and digital I/O — each with
separate gain controls and metering for each domain. Bring your audio signal in and out of
the DSP7000 through its two balanced XLR ins, two phono ins and XLR balanced
analog outs.
The DSP7000 also provides you with a bank of MIDI
clock presets, sample and hold filters, FM panners and effects that will lock to your
incoming MIDI clock, so you don’t have to spend any time doing the math to
get your effects loops to match up to your tracks.
Eventide’s Eclipse Multi-Effects Processor
Eventide’s Eclipse gives you up to ten times the processing power of the
original H3000, bringing you the classic pitch change,
reverb, and special effects program presets, plus a dual-processor architecture
that is configurable into series, parallel, stereo or dual mono.
The Eclipse converts at 24-bit/96kHz and it’s signal-to-noise ratio is
better than 104dB. This rackmount unit offers compact Flash Type I and II preset memory
storage, plus you can tap into a full numeric keypad and customizable hot keys to
recall your frequently used parameters. Supports digital S/PDIF and AES/EBU I/O,
analog balanced and unbalanced I/O and ADAT lightpipe.

Eventide for Sound Design
“I personally use the Eventide effects processors, like the Orville, which I
feel offer the widest range of audio processing tools for audio
manipulation,” says songwriter, remixer, sound designer and composer for
Nike commercials, film, games, and software apps like Absynth, Richard Devine.
