Five-level indicators provide visual cues as to the actual level of the incoming signal. The knob acts as a conventional volume control. This is used to set the optimum operating level for the system. When the Line control is IN the unit is actively processing audio when it is OUT the unit is bypassed and passes audio directly from input to output. These are recreated in the plugin, with the level of each controlled by the Main Level and Delay Level knobs. The original H949 hardware unit featured two outputs – the Main Output, which passed the affected signal, and a Delay Only Output, which passed a delayed (but otherwise non-affected) signal. Also, be sure to audition the two pitch algorithms provided for the variety of sources you may feed into it. Spend some time with the controls, and you will find a wide range of sound effects can be created using the few front panel controls. With a tape recorder, it also made time expansion and compression possible for the first time ever.Īll of the original features and sound are recreated here. It not only offered 3 octaves of pitch change but also featured Micro and Random pitch, Delay only, Flange, and unique Reverse modes. The Eventide Clockworks H949, which debuted shortly after the H910, was the world’s first ”de-glitched” Harmonizer® product – and may even have been the world’s first multi-effect audio product.
This helps us keep you informed of any important software updates, and any special offers that may only be available to registered users. We’ll get into more depth on the product soon but, before you forget, please take a few minutes to register online. This package includes a stunning recreation of the H949 Harmonizer®, as well as a Dual H949 version, which recreates the popular technique of running two H949 units in parallel to create lush doubling and other interesting effects. For over 40 years, innovative products like these have made Eventide an industry leader, and we are extremely proud that they continue to be in demand today.
The productrecreated in this plug-in was among the first introduced by Eventide, and among the world’s first commercially available professional recording products. The combination of glitch, randomness, and analog signal path, especially when the feedback control was turned up, added an ‘organic’ feel to the sound and that feeling comes through in the plug-in.Thank you for your purchase of the Eventide H949 Harmonizer® plug-in. This was evident in the way that the display would flicker between pitch ratio readings. The system clocks at the heart of the design drifted and wobbled introducing a degree of randomness in the effect not found in later crystal-based, precise digital devices. The design predates the introduction of the CD and digital audio sample rate standards (e.g. In addition to the glitch, all of the quirkiness of the original H910 has been emulated. Not surprisingly, artists found creative ways to use the glitch, and, in fact, years later when the H949 was introduced with advanced de-glitching circuitry, some users were disappointed that the glitch was gone. The original H910’s unique pitch change method introduced random ‘glitches’ into the audio and the word ‘glitch’ into the audio engineer’s vocabulary. Stereo (cross-unit) Feedback can cause the incoming signal to shift up and then down continuously.Easily fattens and thickens instruments when assigning opposite pitch ratios.Recreates two H910 units running in parallel to create doubling effects and other unique sounds.Mix Lock allows for scrolling through presets or settings while keeping the dry/wet mix constant.Individually control delay outputs and dry/wet mix.Self-oscillation - create colorful, unique sound effects and drones.Delay rhythms and melodies to create everything from slap-back echoes to feedback chaos.Modify pitch by musical intervals (diatonic) to harmonize vocals or solo instruments.Optional “glitching” of original H910 hardware to create unpredictable sounds as it alters pitch.Anti-Feedback modulates the pitch around unity for a subtle or wild effect.Perform perfect pitch changes, controlled manually via MIDI or with Anti-Feedback.True analog modeling of highly nonlinear electronics for faithful reproduction of the original H910’s juicyness and grit.OUT2 Delay Group adds inspiring attributes to your sound.The built-in envelope follower makes exploring these possibilities easy. Envelope Follower - Engineers and producers discovered that sending a control voltage to the hardware H910 could be used to slightly (or massively) vary the pitch, creating entirely new sounds.With the H910 plug-in you can easily use MIDI to control pitch and harmonization in real-time. Keyboard and MIDI mapping - The original H910 featured a keyboard remote control which was used live by several artists including Elton John.
