75% off “H3000 Band Delays” by Eventide

A Studio Legend in Plugin Form!

The Eventide “H3000 Band Delays” plugin offers eight filters that are fully parametric with configurable low/band/all/high pass or shelving choices and a bandwidth control that offers high resonance. The filter frequencies can even be played via MIDI notes with several useful modes.

The delays offer full tempo support and feature an intuitive Beat Grid for creating incredible pulsing rhythms. Even the original Parameter Modulation features of the H3000 are included as well allowing you to create the uniquely dynamic programs that made the original so popular.

As with all Eventide plug-ins, the convenient Snapshots allow for instant program loading of up to 32 different presets within a single session. All of this, with the sought-after sound of the H3000, brings you a great-sounding plug-in that’s as easy to use as the original that inspired it.

Eventide Band Delays features:

• Eight voices of tempo-based filtered delays up to 2.4 seconds each.
• Beat Grid lets you easily place delays in time with the music.
• Tempo features allow all eight delays to lock to the session tempo.
• Filter parameters include Band Pass, High Pass, Low Pass, All Pass and Shelving types with Q factors from 0.5-999.
• Filter frequencies can be “played” with a MIDI keyboard.
• Full MIDI implementation offers MIDI controller support for Parameter Modulation.
• Parameter Modulation with a host of Function Generator abilities for incredibly dynamic sound shaping.
• Master “Global” controls affect all similar parameters.
• Soft Keys let you customize the preset parameters.
• Intuitive graphical interface lets you see delay times, center frequencies, and bandwidth simultaneously.
• Integrated mixer section offers level, pan, and phase control for each voice.
• Familiar interface is easy to use.

Using Eventide H3000 Band Delays

• I/O Formats – Eventide Band Delays is available for use on both mono & stereo sources. When processing a mono audio source, the channel will be converted to a stereo output channel & provide you with a stereo effect.
  
• Using the Controls – The control set offered by Band Delays consists mainly of faders and number boxes, however the Beat Grid offers a simple graphical interface for setting delay times. These controls have been designed to work in the most intuitive way, allowing you to quickly and easily adjust parameters or type in values.

Signal Flow Diagram & Plug-in Panel Overview

For the most part, Band Delays incorporates all of the original controls found in the H3000’s Band Delays algorithm, plus some new ones. The panel is broken down into three main sections:

• H3000 Front Panel  – this is the top portion of the plug-in panel that resembles the original product’s front panel.
• Preset Parameters  – this is the center section that includes the Global parameters and tempo settings.
• Expert and Function Parameters – this is the lower tabbed section of the plug- in. Click on one of the Program, Expert or Function tabs to bring those parameters to the forefront.

Program Page Details

The Program page, accessible via the lower portion of the plug-in panel, offers two graphical displays that help you visualize the large number of parameters and their settings.

The Band Display is a display-only representation of the filter settings while the Beat Grid actually lets you drag-and-drop the delay times onto a quantized grid. There is also a “channel strip” of controls for each voice, making it more convenient to set each voice’s parameters without having to switch to the Expert page.

• Channel Strip Parameters – Across the top of the Program page is a “channel strip” containing one voice’s set of controls. This acts as a convenient way to adjust any parameters for one voice at a time without having to switch to the Expert page.

Beat Grid Elements

There are a few elements to the Beat Grid that you should understand.

• Bars and Beats – Bars, beats and the subdivisions are displayed as a large grid. The number of Bars and Beats displayed will be largely dependent upon the Tempo and the chosen Meter.
• Delay Markers – Each delay is represented as a color-coded X in the Beat Grid. They are organized into rows labeled F1 through F8 (“F” for Filter).
• Feedback Delay Pointer – The Feedback Delay is represented by a downward-pointing triangle. Use the same methods for adjusting this control as you do with the Delay Markers.

Band Display Elements

The Band Display provides a visual representation of up to eight filtered delays. The colored lines reference a delay voice number as color-coded on the Beat Grid.

Expert Page Details

The Expert page is where you’ll find the edit parameters specific to the eight filtered delay voices. These parameters are organized into rows labeled F1 through F8 and are described in this section.

• Voice On/Off – The Voice On/Obuttons allow you to quickly mute a voice by turning it o. When the voice is on, the button glows green and will be unlit when turned o.
• Phase Inv – The Phase Invert buttons are very useful for special effects, especially when several voices are phase inverted and panned hard left and right.
  
• Frequency – These eight parameters are the center frequencies for each of the filters.
• Note Name – Like the Frequency parameter, Note Name adjusts the center frequency for each of the filters.
  
• Q Factor – These parameters control the individual Q factor, or bandwidth, for each of the eight filters.
• Filter Type – This selects one of four filter types used for each of the eight voices.
• Delay Time – These parameters set the delay times for each of the eight filtered voices.
• Output Level – Each filtered voice’s output level is controlled by this parameter.
• Pan – All eight filters can be placed anywhere in the stereo eld using the Pan parameters.
• MIDI Note Mode – This parameter determines how the individual filtered voices will respond to incoming MIDI notes.
