As creators of both legendary hardware pieces and cutting edge software tools, Eventide have brought together five decades’ worth of their expertise into one place. We have the details…
Eventide are, for many, strongly associated with rackmounted studio pitch-shifting boxes, of which the H910 Harmonizer is one of the best known. As a company with half a century of audio engineering behind them, their roots began providing (perhaps not surprisingly) RAM chips and delay lines for telecommunications. They can also be credited with developing such innovations as the DL1745 (the first studio digital delay), and some of the first ever look ahead compressors and modulation effects boxes, all landing before the beginning of the 1980s! Bringing together an illustrious collection of their creations comes the Anthology XII Bundle. Here’s what Eventide have to say about their latest offering:
Anthology XII Bundle- A “Complete Sonic Universe”
Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Eventide has remained at the forefront of recording technology since 1971. In 1975 they revolutionized the audio industry by creating the world’s first commercially available digital audio effects unit, the H910 Harmonizer. Since then, their legendary studio processors, stompboxes and plug-ins have been heard on countless hit records.
Eventide Audio has pioneered audio hardware and software, developing legendary sound processing tools while constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of technology. With the introduction of the new Anthology XII plug-in bundle, Eventide draws on that rich legacy of award-winning and groundbreaking effects to combine 33 essential music production mainstays in one package for DAW users, inspiring creativity and providing problem-solving solutions to ubiquitous sound production problems.
A comprehensive and creative toolkit for music producers, mixers and artists alike, the Anthology XII bundle spans five decades of Eventide innovation, from their latest offerings (the revolutionary Structural Effects plug-ins SplitEQ and Physion, which can modernize workflows through the application of transient/tonal splitting technology) to authentic emulations of Eventide processing mainstays such as the iconic H910, H949 and H3000 Harmonizer, Instant Phaser, Instant Flanger, Omnipressor and the legendary reverbs of the SP2016.
Also included are other one-of-a-kind tools like Tony Visconti’s Tverb, the powerful CrushStation overdrive/distortion command center and the unique Octavox eight-voice diatonic pitch shift Harmonizer, as well as the radical sound manipulation of Blackhole and Undulator.
The meticulously curated flagship Anthology XII invites the exploration of sonic spaces “from rooms to eternity” with the inclusion of seven distinct and versatile reverbs. Sounds can be thickened and layered with signature pitch effects like Crystals and MicroPitch, while singular delay multi-effects like UltraTap and Undulator provide creative depth control. Smooth track sweetening is offered through TriceraChorus and Quadravox, while the distortion multi-effects CrushStation and MangledVerb promise sonic “heft and grit.”
More than 4500 presets, including artist presets, are included across all of Anthology XII’s plug-ins. What’s more, sweepable transition effects can be designed through the addition of the H9 series plug-ins’ RIBBON slider.
