In use
Setting up the VST version of the H3000
Factory on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine
with the iLok 2 dongle (the iLok 1 won’t
work) went pretty smoothly. A few Next,
Next, Finish clicks and I was up and running in my host. Installing and registering
the iLok 2 went pretty smoothly, too.
As someone who’s owned an Eventide
unit for well over a decade, I can state that
the H3000 Factory provides the signature
Eventide sound. Even better, for those who
like to dive deep into editing, the plug-in
interface is far and away more intuitive than
the VSig editor for the hardware units.
Because the H3000 is modular in design,
it will undoubtedly take some time to get
your head wrapped around its power and
flexibility. Couple the routing power with
one of the things Eventide does best, which
is pitch shifting, and you’ve got one heck of
an effects powerhouse. However, here’s
one for the wish list: To make experimentation with the cable routing easier, Eventide
could indicate one color for the cable connection that is possible and another color
when it’s not possible, instead of just putting
a red ring around an input when the mouse
cursor is hovering over it.
Because the H3000 is a multi-effects
processor, its uses run the gamut. Putting
it through its paces left a smile on my
face, just as my hardware unit has done
for me for years. Thickening a vocal take,
providing rhythmic variety to a boring
drum loop, or even warping your audio
into something strange and wonderful,
the H3000 Factory does it well and in its
own style. While not all the presets are
necessarily “musically useful” or something that would float your boat, it just
proves it’s more than a one-trick pony.
If there is one disappointing fact, it
would be that the H3000 Factory is not a
complete emulation of the H3000 hardware. It carries a small portion of the 24
algorithms from the highest-end H3000
Series. Sadly, the reverb modules, which
to me are another reason to own an
Eventide, are missing in action. Still, what
is provided, with the pitch shifter and
delays, is still what makes an Eventide an
“Eventide.”
Conclusion
Aside from the fact that the H3000
Factory plug-in is not the equivalent of a
full-blown hardware H3000, this
Eventide offering is still the real deal
through and through. If you’ve craved
those insanely wild effects, those naturally dense vocal doublers, or just love the
Eventide sound as I have for years, the
H3000 Factory is a worthy addition to
your collection of useful effects.
