IN THIS manual, ALL MEMBERS OF THE H9000 Family WILL BE REFERRED TO USING THE GENERIC H9000. The BEST WAY TO QUICKLY fiND THE BEST EffECT FOR A GIVEN APPLICATION IS TO MAKE USE OF THE POWERFUL Real-time DATABASE FEATURES ON THE PROGRAM page, AS DESCRIBED IN THE SEPARATE User Manual. TO GET AN OVERVIEW, AS WELL AS A FEEL FOR THE WIDE SELECTION OF EffECTS THE H9000 Offers, A STROLL THROUGH THIS MANUAL IS Recommended. The ALGORITHMS ARE GROUPED BY BANK AND PLACED IN NUMERICAL ORder. Any NUMBERED ALGORITHM CAN BE QUICKLY FOUND BY USING ITS TOP TWO DIGITS (one DIGIT FOR A 3 DIGIT number) AS THE Bank Number. A GIVEN ALGORITHM MAY BE IDENTIfiED BY ITS NAME OR ITS number. Many ALGORITHMS ARE SUPPLIED IN SEVERAL VERSIONS WITH THE SAME NAME AND NUMBER - THEY CAN BE FURTHER DISTINGUISHED BY THE NUMBER OF CHANNELS THEY PROCESS AND THE AUDIO SAMPLE RATES THEY CAN handle. Sometimes, A NUMBER OF ALGORITHMS MAY SHARE THE SAME BASIC STRUCTURE OR algorithm. DiffERENT VERSIONS OF THIS STRUCTURE WILL BE PROvided, WITH THEIR PARAMETER VALUES CAREFULLY TUNED TO PRODUCE A DESIRED EffECT - THESE VARIANTS ARE POPULARLY KNOWN AS tweaks. 3 I/O Each ALGORITHM WILL BE LABELED EITHER 48, MEANING THAT IT CAN ONLY OPERATE UP TO 48kHz sampling, OR 96, MEANING THAT IT CAN OPERATE AT ALL THE H9000’S SUPPORTED SAMPLE Rates. A GIVEN PRESET MAY HAVE FROM 0 TO 8 INPUTS AND FROM 0 TO 8 outputs. A PRESET WITH NO INPUTS IS TYPICALLY AN OSCILLATOR OR OTHER GENERator, WHEREAS A PRESET WITH NO OUTPUTS IS USUALLY A display-only DEvice. Some UTILITY CALCULATORS HAVE NEITHER INPUTS OR OUTPUTS – THESE WILL BLOCK ANY SIGNAL ROUTED THROUGH them. 4 KeY Many PRESETS ARE flAGGED WITH RECOMMENDED SOURCE MATERIAL OR APPLICATION types: • [V] VOCAL • [G] Guitar • [D] Drums • [B] Bass • [H] BrASS • [S] SurrOUND • [P] SpokEN VOICE • [R] Strings • [K] KeYBOARD • [X] Special EffECTS The H9000 OffERS THE FOLLOWING EffECT TYPES - ANY GIVEN PRESET MAY HAVE A COMBINATION OF SOME OR ALL OF them: • {P} Pitch: Eventide INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF THE PITCH SHIFTING EffECT AND IS THE LEADER IN THE field. The PITCH SHIFTERS OffERED INCLUDE Diatonic shifters, WHICH SHIFT BY A MUSICAL INTERVAL WITHIN A SPECIfiED KEY AND Ultrashifter, A formant-corrECTED VOCAL shifter. TherE ARE ALSO ReVERSE AND Custom Scales shifters, AS WELL AS THE MORE FAMILIAR ChrOMATIC VARIETY. • {R} Reverb: A REVERB MAY RANGE FROM AN EMULATION OF A SPRING LINE TO A GRAND canyon. • {D} Delay: Digital DELAYS RANGING FROM A FEW SAMPLES UP TO SEVERAL MINUTES AT 48kHz sampling. • {E} EQ: The EQUALIZATION OffERED BY THE H8000 RANGES FROM SIMPLE “HIGH CUT” TONE CONTROLS TO 32 BAND multi-channel PARAMETRIC equalizers. • {M} Modulation: The WAY A PARAMETER OF THE EffECT MAY BE CONTROLLED OR SWEPT BY A SLOw-running OSCILLATOR OR OTHER SIGNAL SOURce. This ALLOWS A RANGE OF EffECTS INCLUDING auto-panners, TREMOLOS AND VIBRatos, AS WELL AS flANGERS AND PHASERS WHEN MODULATION IS APPLIED TO DELAY OR fiLTER elements. • {Y} Dynamics: A GENERAL TERM DESCRIBING A RANGE OF amplitude-sensitive Effects, COVERING THE fiELD FROM COMPRESSORS TO ENVELOPE FOLLOwers. • {N} Enhancer: Add air, shine, sparkle, thickness, width. Our “SOUND BETTER” BOXes. • {Z} Distortion: IMPART GENTLE TUBE WARMTH OR SHRED THROUGH A DYING POWER SUPPLY. Up TO you. • {U} Utilities: Simple, Effective. 5 H9000 Algorithms Manual, Release 1.2.1[5] • {O} Other: Hybrid AND OTHERWISE HARD TO CATEGORIZE Effects. 6 Chapter 3. KeY Part II Algorithms 7 1 - Simple List OF BANKS AND ALSO BASIC Mute, Thru AND Oscillator PResets. #11 Mute Nothing in, NOTHING out. EffECT TYPE Suggested Use Max Sample Rate In/Out {U} ~ 96kHz 4, 4 #12 Thru The PRESET’S INPUT IS ELECTRONICALLY CONNECTED TO THE output. Octal in, OCTAL out. EffECT TYPE Suggested Use Max Sample Rate In/Out {U} ~ 96kHz 8, 8 #13 Oscillator (440) General-purpose oscillator. On LOADING IT IS SET TO A 440 Hz SINE WAVE FOR tuning. Lfo (fm) ALLOWS ADDITION OF AN OffSET AND modulation. Output WILL CLIPABOVE +12dB. Aliasing WILL BE AUDIBLE ON TRIANGULAR AND SQUARE WAVES AT HIGHER FRequencies. Nothing in, MONO out. EffECT TYPE Suggested Use Max Sample Rate In/Out {U} ~ 96kHz 2, 8 #14 Note Oscillator A FEW HELPFUL conversions. No NEED TO RUN FOR THE calculator. Nothing in, NOTHING out. 9 H9000 Algorithms Manual, Release 1.2.1[5] EffECT TYPE Suggested Use Max Sample Rate In/Out {U} ~ 96kHz 4, 4 10 Chapter 4. 1 - Simple 2 - Artist This BANK INCLUDES SOME OF THE CLASSIC PRESETS WRITTEN BY AND FOR artists, USING Eventide EffECTS units. #210 Amp-u-lation TUBE POWER amp/speakER emulation. This LITTLE GUY CAN REALLY DO THE TRICK OF CLEANING UP HARSH FUZZ OR TO FEED A P.A. SterEO in, STEREO out.
