Eventide and other stuff > The Eventide DSP4000/DSP4500/GTR4000 / FULLY COMPATIBLE & FUNCTIONAL ON DSP7000/7500/ORVILLE/H7600/H8000FW
In 1994 a major change in effects design was presented to the public on a hardware product. Eventide created an open modular platform based on audio, control, math, modulation and U.I. modules that could be used to build the very inner aspects of any specific effects. Finally you could build your own stereo chorus using modulation delays, Lfos, mixers for feedback paths, audio and modulation phases offsets and what not. Reverb? Choose your reverb density based on different amounts of internal delay lines & times, add filters before/after it, insert early reflections and diffusor modules, route their signals in series/parallel as you like, build your own U.I. to control the whole design... even use text in any language and sign your own work. All of this, using Windows based VSIGFILE Algorithm Graphical Editor, something we had never seen before on a hardware device and still unmatched by any competing product, after 22+ yrs.
The 4000 Series Ultra-Harmonizers® are based on this clever design. Meet the DSP4000, GTR4000 and DSP4500 units, a milestone set of powerful processors evolved into monster power on the later DSP7000, DSP7500, ORVILLE, H7600 and H8000FW. A whole modular world for the creative mind with discerning ear. An effects design paradise. A great learning tool too.
Your Eventide 4000 series processor is still a VERY appreciated device in any classy studio or home recording room.
"MultiTap Delays Madness Collection"
I started my travel thru this spectacular dream platform back then, on the DSP4000 and after 2 decades I still feel the attachment to the original machine that got all my attention back then, no matter the fact I had moved in time, on to monster dual DSPs ORVILLE and H8000FW. I felt I owed the 4000 series and their users an offering of what I have learned in the years, programming these artful devices.
I decided to focus on the art of Multitap Delays as these are an extremely powerful environment in which many different effects can be created, with strong textural qualities and vibes.
Great modulated delays, flanged, chorused, hypercombed multi-voice echoes, chorus to-die-for, flanging from outer space, complex and diffused early reflections for reverbs design, ambience and spectacular reverbs with vintage tonal and textural qualities. One structure for many tweaks... great sounds for all tasks.
This set of 70 brand new presets, never available before, will give your 4000 a whole new life you wouldn't have imagined before, adding tools I have developed in time on the later Eventide series.
Now they are available on the 4000 platform too, presenting my personal homage to the machine that "started it all" and to its aficionados, world-wide.
Your 4000 should be running on OS V2.158 or higher but it's very possible these presets will also run on older system versions. I will have you testing your unit with a sample preset before you decide to go for this powerful collection of new sounds.
