03In depth

Sound Design and Modeled Character

Eventide says the plugin models the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter sections of the original H3000. The developer also states that the new filter recreations replicate the resonance and self-oscillation behavior of the hardware.

The effects blocks include delays, amplitude modulators, envelope followers, pitch shifters and filters. Together they cover the pitch-based processing and modulation effects associated with the H3000 in a single plugin.

Workflow, Patching and Control

Up to 18 effects blocks can be combined in the modular interface, so you can build custom chains rather than relying only on fixed presets. A function generator with 19 waveforms can drive modulation, and the Assignable Macro Soft Keys let you map multiple parameters to one control.

Sidechain and Noise inputs are included for routing external signals into the effects. MIDI control is supported, and the interface is resizable with an expandable view for more detailed editing.
