Eventide has made its Blackhole reverb plug-in NKS-ready – reconfigured to support Native Instruments’ Native Kontrol Standard extended plug-in format for use with Maschine and Komplete Kontrol keyboards and software.
As reflected in its updated GUI, Blackhole is part of Eventide’s H9 Plug-In Series designed with live performance in mind. The Ribbon control can be mapped to any combination of parameters giving a performer a single control over a world of effects. Integration with the NKS platform makes the Ribbon an integral part of the performer’s instrument.
Where most reverbs are constrained by the physics of the real world, Blackhole creates virtual spaces that could never exist in reality. It can turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section. Capable of creating epic soundscapes, space-warping special effects and drones, Blackhole can cover spaces as small as a room and as large as space itself.
Key features:
- Easy to use interface and more than 50 presets, including some by Eventide artists: Richard Devine, Vernon Reid, Flood and Alan Moulder, Jonsi and Alex (Sigur Rós), and John Agnello.
- Unique Gravity control reverses the arrow of time by inverting the reverb’s decay.
- Ribbon and Hotswitch allow simultaneous change of any combination of parameters.
‘We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Eventide, a brand famous for their high-quality, creative FX, on the NKS platform and deeply integrated into our Maschine and Komplete Kontrol eco-systems,’ says Native Instruments’ Ray Chemo.
‘It will be exciting to discover ways in which Blackhole will be used in both live performance and in music production by a community of artists who have yet to discover the universe of effects that we’re known for,’ says Eventide Software Developer Tom Longabaugh.
The now-NKS-ready Blackhole is available as an AAX/AU/VST plug-in for Mac OS-X 10.7+ and Windows 7+ – at a promo price of US$69 until 31 May 2018 (MSRP US$199).
