Eventide has announced firmware v2.2 for its flagship H9000 Harmonizer.
Among the most powerful hardware effects processors ever produced, the H9000 Harmonizer has been featured on countless recordings, and can be found in world-class recording studios, live venues and postproduction facilities around the world.
The latest features 96kHz support across all 1,600-plus algorithms, new algorithms designed specifically for vocals, RNBO support, and new effects from the H90 Harmonizer.
VocalShift is a highly accurate vocal Harmonizer – from the team that coined the term. This algorithm features two independent voices with pitch and formant shifting, key and scale quantization, detune, delay,and pan controls. VocalTune is designed for precise vocal correction and hard tune effects, for polishing a vocal track in the studio or making a singer shine in real-time in a live performance.
VocalShiftMidi is versatile three-voice Harmonizer controlled via Midi for vocal harmonies, chord stacks, pitch correction and creating pads and textures. The H9000 also features several algorithms from the H90 Harmonizer pedal, including Prism Shift, PolySynth, Sticky Tape and Aggravate
Eventide's H9000 now integrates RNBO support, a library and toolchain that can take Max-like patches and export them as portable code, enabling Max programmers to move patches directly to the processor. This new feature allows users to create and run custom effects and incorporate up to four RNBO algorithms per FX Chain, vastly expanding creative production possibilities.
‘The comprehensive updates offered here – particularly around the new vocal algorithms – are a direct result of feedback from Eventide’s customers,’ says Product Manager, Tyler Skoglund. ‘We are thrilled to see this classic processor evolve to meet the needs of modern producers, engineers, and content creators of all stripes.’
