Eventide And Third Man Hardware Announces Knife Drop



Eventide, in collaboration with Third Man Hardware announces Knife Drop, a commanding new effects pedal that merges aggressive octave fuzz with earth-shaking analog synth tones. This powerful device features presets developed in collaboration with Jack White himself — resulting in bone-rattling distortion and generous heaps of sonic chaos.

Born from the collaborative vision of two pioneering forces in music technology, Knife Drop opens a new chapter in effects processing. The pedal combines Eventide’s decades of digital audio mastery with Third Man Hardware’s innovative vision, resulting in a product that’s as intuitive as it is deep, as fresh as it is familiar.

“The Third Man crew have amazing products design instincts and we learned so much throughout our collaboration. It didn’t feel like work, it felt like Rock ’n Roll,” – Russell Wedelich, Eventide Audio CTO.

“Collaborating with Eventide on the Knife Drop has been an inspiring and exciting experience that expanded into some amazing sonic possibilities. We’re so excited to get Knife Drop into people’s hands, and to make their own sounds and feel the same excitement we had” – Dan Mancini, Third Man Hardware.

Core Features:

Rich Blend of octave fuzz and analog synth capabilities

Dual octave control with dedicated footswitch

Precise filtering options with pre/post distortion routing

Intuitive preset system with instant recall

Stereo I/O switchable guitar/line level inputs

Flexible expression pedal integration for dynamic control

Intuitive Control

The Synth Mix knob allows players to blend between raw guitar signals and bold synthesized tones, while the Drive section delivers everything from a subtle boost to intense, biting distortion. The expressive filter section includes responsive envelope control, adjustable resonance, and switchable routing, putting total tonal flexibility firmly in the user’s hands.

Knife Drop features an LED ladder for precise preset navigation and a secondary function layer that unveils additional sonic territory. The dual I/O configuration supports both mono and stereo operation, while the switchable input accommodates various signal levels for versatile applications, whether onstage or in the studio.

Knife Drop will be available for purchase in the United States through Third Man Records’ website and internationally through Eventide’s authorized distributors, with an MSRP of $299. Additionally, a limited-edition yellow model will be offered exclusively on Third Man Records’ website for $333.


Eventide Has Sale On Blackhole and MicroPitch

The Eventide sound, in a clean and easy to use interface, will make your first explorations into immersive fun and rewarding. Dolby and DAW companies have rolled out renderers for producers to work in and format; yes, including headphones. Creating an immersive experience does NOT require the expense and bother of multiple speakers. Listeners can experience the width, depth, and height of immersive rendered binaurally to their own headphones and ear buds – an experience that surpasses simple stereo.

Make Eventide Immersive plugins the foundation of your workflow and start creating content for all platforms distributing Immersive creations.

Designed from the ground up for immersive, Dolby Atmos, and surround workflows, Blackhole Immersive expands the signature sound of Eventide’s stereo version across your entire immersive mix. Used as a send or insert, Blackhole Immersive remains respectful yet reactive to your carefully chosen track positioning.

From delicate ambience to massive decays, you create and shape the listener’s immersed experience – what, when, and where they feel it. Warning: taking the controls of this cosmic beast of a reverb is just plain fun. The vast range of the original fit perfectly in your mix, but now it’s everywhere!

Owners of stereo Blackhole or MicroPitch (standalone, H9 Bundle, or Anthology XI/XIII) receive discounted cross grade pricing on Immersive plug-ins.

Binaural examples are mixed in 7.1.2, rendered with Dolby Atmos binaural. Stereo versions are rendered down from 7.1.2, which loses some spatial properties but retains positioning of the full mix otherwise.

Eventide Introduces New Anthology XII Bundle



Eventide introduces the new Anthology XII bundle. It brings Eventide’s 50 years of pioneering audio technology directly to your DAW. A comprehensive and creative toolkit for music producers, mixers, and artists alike, the bundle comes with 33 powerful plug-ins designed to enhance, morph, mangle, pitch shift, reshape and define your sound.

Anthology XII added 10 new plug-ins to the previous Anthology bundle: 3 unique reverbs, 3 distinct modulation effects, 2 classic pitch shifters, a killer distortion, and a next-generation EQ. It contains more than 4300+ presets across the entire 33 plug-in collection.

Anthology XII features Eventide’s revolutionary Structural effects plug-ins, Split EQ and Physion, which utilize transient/tonal splitting technology; the radical sound manipulation of Blackhole and Undulator; authentic emulations of Eventide studio mainstays such as the iconic H910, H949 and H3000 Harmonizer, Instant Phaser, Instant Flanger, and 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.

Eventide is offering Anthology XII, which has a value of $4,200, at more than 80% off through April 30, 2022.

Eventide Introduces SplitEQ



Eventide introduced SplitEQ. It is the first fundamental advance in equalization since George Massenburg’s invention of the parametric EQ 50 years ago. It’s designed to go beyond and to replace your current EQ.

Right now, SplitEQ is on sale at $99. (Previous price $179).

SplitEQ excels at Repairing, Rebalancing, Enhancing, and Widening any audio source. It’s both a surgical tool for fixing particularly nasty problems and a creative tool as it opens up exciting new musical possibilities.

SplitEQ reduces the distance between what you want to do and how you actually do it, and with fewer tradeoffs than other EQs. On a normal EQ, a low-shelf boost on a kick drum will yield muddiness rather than delicious oomph. A low cut on a low male vocal removes plosives but at the expense of low-end richness. SplitEQ gives you the surgical control to address the problematic part of a sound without losing the magic and without the need for additional tools.

At first glance, its a parametric EQ with 8-bands of precise musical filters. What’s new and different is Eventide’s powerful Structural Split engine which divides the incoming audio into separate Transient and Tonal streams that feed the 8 bands. This approach makes common EQ problems easy to solve – even in a complex mix.

What to soften the transients? Use the master Transient Gain slider.

Remove plosives or de-ess? EQ only the Transient.

Reduce snare ring? Put a filter on the Tonal miss.

By applying EQ and panning to Transient and Tonal separately, you can fix many of the problems normally attacked using complex combinations of EQ, compression, transient designers, de-essers, multi-band compression, spatial processors, or dynamic EQ. Simplify and declutter your workflow, get better results, and create new sounds.


Eventide Introduces TriceraChorus Pedal



Eventide introduced the TriceraChorus pedal. It was inspired by the Tri-Stereo Chorus and stompbox choruses of the 1970s and early 1980s. The TriceraChorus pedal pairs rich Bucket Brigade-style chorusing with Eventide’s legendary MicroPitch detuning for a lushness that rivals the jungles the late Cretaceous Period.

TriceraChorus features three hours voices and three unique chorus effects which can be used to create a wide stereo spread with pulsing waves of modulation. The innovative “Swirl” foot switch adds psychedelic flanging, phasing, and Univibe-style tones. It has never been easier to dial in syrupy smooth, deep modulation on guitar, bass, synths, strings, vocals and more.

TriceraChorus has three chorus voices: Left, Center, and Right, which can be detuned to add even more depth. A three-phase LFO modulates the delay times for these voices, producing a dazzling movement across the stereo field. The combination of the three modulated delays creates a huge wash of chorus reminiscent of that big, dreamy ‘80s sound.

Like the mighty three-horned dinosaur, TriceraChorus is a powerhouse of chorus offering three effect types complemented by detuning and Swirl. For a quintessential vintage chorus sound, set TriceraChours to “Chorus” mode. If you need something with more complexity and movement, “Chorale” produces lush, heavenly choruses inspired by classic rackmount Tri-chorus units. For a more warbly, pulsing effect, try “Vibrato”. Add detune for subtle pitch shifting sweetness. Engage the “Swirl” foot switch to get lost in a whirlpool of kaleidoscopic sound.

More Features:

  • Five presets loaded at your feet with dozens more available with Eventide Device Manager (EDM) software
  • Dual-action Active Footswitch is latching or momentary
  •  Real panel Guitar/Line Level switch for matching levels with guitars, synths, FX loop or DAW interface

  • Eventide Device Manager PC or Mac application for software updates, system settings and creating/saving presets.

Eventide Introduced the UltraTap Pedal



Eventide introduced the UltraTap pedal. It was originally announced on a Live Stream Event on April 13, 2021. The UltraTap pedal provides “a multiverse of tone.”

UltraTap is a unique multi-tap effect pedal capable of rhythmic delays, glitchy reverbs, huge pad-like volume swells, and extraordinary modulation. It’s the perfect tool for staccato leads, swelling chords, and other evolving effects – everything from reversed reverbs to the sound of ripping it up in the Grand Canyon!

Think of UltraTap as the mother of all Echoplexes and you won’t be too far off. That’s basically how it operates but with the flexibility to add as many ‘tape heads’ as you want and expressively control their positions and levels.

UltraTap’s controls make possible new and unexpected effects. The controls that you would expect in a multi-tap delay pedal – Number of Taps, Delay and Feedback – are just the basics. Controls for Spread, Slurm, and Chop open up a new world of possibilities.

Features:

  • Control the stereo image of taps to alternate between hard-panned and mono.
  • Five presets loaded at your feet with dozens more available with Eventide Device Manager (EDM) software.

  • MIDI capability over TRS (use with a MIDI to TRS cable or converter box) or USB.
  • Multiple Bypass options: Buffered, Relay, DSP+FX, or Kill dry.
  • Catch-up mode helps dial in your sound when toggling between presets/parameters.
  • Eventide Device Manger PC or Mac application for software updates, system settings, and creating/saving presets.

Eventide Introduced MicroPitch Delay



Eventide introduced MicroPitch Delay. It is the “secret sauce” heard on countless hit records.

Popularized in the H3000 Harmonizer, MicroPitch Delay allows musicians to achieve subtle tone fattening, lush stereo widening, rich detuned delays, thick modulation, and tempo-synced special effects. It also features onboard tone controls with mono or stereo operation, MIDI, preset storing, and most importantly a new compact, easy-to-use, delicious red package.

By utilizing subtle pitch shifts to create a rich stereo spread, MicroPitch Delay makes anything you cook up sonically delectable. This pedal is the key ingredient for serving up flavorful tone: Instantly harness soaring leads that jump out of the mix, add distinct lushness to a compelling clean passage and get your fill of vibey modulation that’s sure to sweeten any pot with the push of a button.

Sample a bite of newly baked up Positive and Negative Envelope modulation sources and you’ll be sure to come back for seconds; and major and minor thirds. MicroPitch Delay adds unparalleled dimension to any source; it’s not just a guitar pedal – Use it to thicken vocals, keyboards, drums, strings, brass, winds and more.
