Phil O'Keefe Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It's coming out / shipping in a couple of weeks. Check out the feature list here: http://www.harmonycentral.com/news/not-just-a-delay---an-echosystem Thoughts? (It looks like a monster to me!) Can't wait to hear one!

Members travisbrowning Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 It looks awesome! An engineering masterpiece! But I have to say it looks like I would spend more time fiddling with it, than playing. There is something to be said about simplicity. That being said Empress makes some of the best sounding stuff out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I like the apparent versatility - assuming of course that all of those options sound good, which based on their previous products is a pretty safe assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 looks like it would a college degree to operate. Setting aside the fact that I'm an audio engineer, not really... just select the mode you want, then adjust the time, mix and output knobs just like on any other delay. Feedback and tone seem pretty self-explanatory to me too... although I do have to admit that I have no idea what Thing 1 and Thing 2 do, except maybe cause mayhem like these two Things do... In actual fact, I suspect the function of those two knobs is dependent on which mode is selected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Trick Fall Posted April 26, 2017 Members Share Posted April 26, 2017 Seems pretty cool and having left and right inputs is a smart move. I'd be as like to use this on a synth as a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Is there a cheapo that does the big Eventide guitar sound? Can you please define what you mean by "big Eventide guitar sound"? I assume you mean the H3000 pitch shifting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, being able to process the left and right channels independently (with different effects) is a really powerful feature. And I agree - this would be useful for processing more than just guitars - and that definitely includes synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted April 26, 2017 Members Share Posted April 26, 2017 From the 80s or so. I'm not sure what unit it is; a big 2 or 3 space unit though. Ill go look for an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted April 26, 2017 Members Share Posted April 26, 2017 Something basic like this sound (H-9 ironically) ; little darker maybe. @ 22 sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Something basic like this sound (H-9 ironically) ; little darker maybe. @ 22 sec. Pete gives you the details on the parameter settings in the upper-right hand corner, and they tell you what the effect is too - it's a combination of spring reverb and tremolo, and most of the units Eventide has made from the 80s on are capable of producing that effect, or something very similar. If that's the sound you're after, you can easily get into the ballpark with any decent spring reverb pedal and a good tremolo. You wouldn't need an Eventide necessarily.

I used to wonder why that sound had no repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Ha! I used to wonder why that sound had no repeats. Actually, it does have repeats... they're just not audible as discrete, individual events. Reverb and delay are very similar... indoors, both are produced by sound waves bouncing off of the various room surfaces. In fact, in a decent sized room, when a sound occurs, the first thing you will hear is a delay as the sound travels to the room surfaces, bounces off, and returns to your ears. That's why most good reverb plugins will have a "pre-delay" parameter of some sort. Those delays turn into reverb. The difference is in the number of "bounces" and how closely they are spaced together. Delays are discrete and audible as individual "repeats", while reverb has so many bounces, spaced so close together, that our ears no longer hear them as discrete events, but as a "wash" of sound.
