CONNECTIONS GALORE- The ultimate I/O for your computer
The H8000FW offers four channels of pristine analog I/O combinedwith eight channels of AES/EBU, ADAT, and S/PDIF I/O. New FireWire I/Onow allows direct connection to your Mac or PC so you can directlypatch 24-bit audio to and from the eight inputs and outputs.
The analog inputs feature either guitar-friendly ¼” hi impedanceinput jacks or XLRs. The H8000FW also offers remotely switchable truebypass.
DIGITAL EFFECTS WORKSTATION- Create your own algorithms
With the H8000FW you will run out of ideas before you run out of DSPpower. With our catalog of over 230 effects modules, you can createeffects never before thought of either from the front panel or usingthe supplied development tools for PC or OS X. Whether creating yourown unique signature effect or dialing up one of our studio standardeffects from the plethora of preset-algorithms, you will never run outof creative possibilities.
POST-PRODUCTION AND BROADCAST ESSENTIALS- The complex made simple
The H8000FW is chock full of our best post-production effects,including: CB Radio, Cellular Phone, Long Distance, Random Dialer, OffHook!, Real Dialer, Megaphone, Shortwave Radio, Traffic Report, Radio,Intercom, Public Address, Fries With That?, Office Intercom, SoundTruck, Talking Dashboard, Clock Radio, Bullhorn, Airplane Background,Jet Flybys, TankAttack, Mortar Shells, Stormwatch, TV in Next Room,Boom Box, to name a bunch. ..
Also included are templates for eight precision delays formultichannel video post applications, and tools specifically designedto facilitate 5.1 frame rate conversion and its associated problem ofpitch correction, along with a dedicated channel for time code delay.
5.1 REVERB AND EFFECTS EXTRAORDINAIRE
The H8000FW is packed with 5.1 halls, chambers, rooms, booths,ambient spaces, and plates, as well as a full tool kit of multichanneleffects. Included are eight individually adjustable sets of straightdelays, modulated delays, ribbon delays, reverse delays, panningdelays, diatonic shifters, flangers, EQs, phasers, tremelos, andfilters.
AND NOW MIDI VIRTUAL RACKS- Stacked effects with instant program change
The H8000FW offers twenty MIDI Virtual Rack preset-algorithms,featuring up to five full-blown effect processors ganged together. Each preset offers ten different tweaks which can be programmed,stored, and controlled in real time through MIDI. Up to forty-fivedifferent parameters can be controlled with one MIDI control message.Individually optimized for guitar, vocals, or percussion and designedwith performance in mind. Single effects blocks are also offered asseparated presets so that effect chains can be assembled using VSIG.
OODLES OF SAMPLE/DELAY MEMORY
The H8000FW offers 174 seconds of mono or 87 seconds of stereo,leaving you plenty of time for looping and flying in choruses. It canbe used in conjunction with the arsenal of effects. The H8000 offersfast, precise triggering.
THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT- 8 channels of time compression/expansion
Eventide’s Timesqueeze® algorithm has been proven in the demandingarena of broadcast production. If you need to time compress or expandyour 5.1 audio for an HD broadcast, our new phase-locked 8 channelTimesqueeze is fast, simple, and sounds great.
CONTROL FREAK?
The H8000FW offers everything you need to control its parameters andfunctions from a remote. If you are on stage, the H8000FW offers fullMIDI control or analog control. ¼” inch TRS jacks accept up to twoexternal foot pedals, up to six external foot switches, or acombination. If you are on the mixing stage, or behind the console,Eventide’s EVE/NET™ remote brings all the control and graphics displayof the front panel, along with eight continuous controllers, to thesweet spot of your choice.
ULTRASHIFTER™ THE APEX OF PITCH MANIPULATION
The H8000FW incorporates Eventide’s most advancedformant-maintaining pitch shifter optimized for the human voice. TheUltraShifter’s real-time adaptive resynthesis allows for unmatchedmodification of vocal timbre. So, if you are changing gender or goingfor something completely bizarre, we’ve got you covered. | Digital Interfaces |
