Eventide H3000 AAX Native now available

[nst7]

Just got an email from Audiodeluxe that this is now available.

This is of course based on the legendary hardware H3000 featuring various types of pitch, delay, modulation, and filtering.

It includes a bunch of new presets from famous programmers, as well as 100 presets from the original hardware unit.

I don't know if all the info is up on the Eventide site yet (it's listed in their online store).

Note that this plugin is AAX, VST, and AU. No RTAS, TDM, or AAX-DSP (as far as I can see).

TDM has been available for many years already. This is their "native" series of plugins so naturally no AAX-DSP.

1 at a time and a decent crossgrade cost for A2 folks.
Omnipressor was and remains very nice. Blackhole is nothing like previous TDM reverb or H-4000 reverbs (I was hoping for) (Try Demo first). Haven't tried the room. Also worth noting is if you buy from Eventide, they don't process orders on weekends. (Order Fri. get the license on Mon.)

Grabbed it last night. Sounds amazing! Used it on a lead vocal last night. Nice subtle delay, wide, kind of sounded like EchoFarm that is long gone.

but native, not DSP. How's the latency?

As soon as Eventide has converted all their plugins to the new SDK (=AAXnative), I'm sure (based on their DSP history) they're going to port them over to AAX-DSP as well. They just need the native plugs out first. (and once they do the DSP versions, all native users should benefit from more efficient processing as well...)

I love Eventide for what they do and how they do it. They're a relatively small company but desire to put out great products that really serve us customers.

I have bought every plugin they have ever had to offer. The space station I sold because I didn't understand it.

Running on a mono track I'm showing "dly 4" which is amazing.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I have the now unusable Anthology II TDM and never used the H3000. Time to have a relook.

I believe this is just the mod factory algorithms. Those of us w the actual h3k hardware (especially d/se) will still have a lot of things this wont. I went to get it last night when I read this, it has made me hold back.

Hardware is always be better...no doubt about it. (At least for the next several years.)
