The original old school devices (like Eventide’s classic H910 Harmonizer) used a simpler resample and crossfade technique that introduced audible artefacts in the pitch-shifted audio.
Modern pitch shifters (like our own Little AlterBoy for example) use sophisticated mathematical algorithms to transform music and vocals as naturally as possible. One of the key elements of the Crystallizer sound is its old school pitch shifting. And now you can have it, too.īecause Soundtoys’ founders actually designed algorithms for the original H3000, you can be sure we didn’t rest until we’d recreated its icy tones flawlessly. You can hear it on hundreds of records – from 80s anthems to ambient compositions, to modern indie rock and chillwave. Once musicians and engineers got their hands on this unique technique and realized how it instantly turned minimal guitar lines into shimmering symphonic textures, there was no going back. The sound is absolutely unmistakable and has been used on countless records to transform simple chords into epic soundscapes. If you listened to the radio in the late 80s, you’ve heard the Crystal Echoes effect from the Eventide H3000 effects processor. Based on the Eventide H3000’s innovative “Reverse Shift” algorithm, Crystallizer brings granular echo slicing, old-school pitch shifting and powerful new features together into one inspiring tool. A mind-warping sound design trip.Ĭrystallizer is an otherworldly creative effect that transforms instruments using a combination of pitch shifting and reversed echo. Just like the original unit, with the Mode selector you can choose 12 different combinations of echo playback heads and reverb (4 Echo only, 7 Echo+Reverb, 1 Reverb only).
WOW/Flutter will also change according to the selected tape, creating different amount of pitch and volume nonlinearities.Ĭhanging the speed of the repetitions (Repeat Rate) will also affect the tape frequency response. Each tape will affect the sound in a subtle but different way, especially at higher feedback (Intensity) settings. The original RT-1L, a more modern replacement, and an older worn out tape. We’ve modelled three different tape types. We’ve also modelled the ballistic response of the delay rate (repeat rate) which can create eerie pitch shifts (due to the Doppler effect), one of the classic tape echo-based sound effects. We have modelled three different tape frequency responses and saturations, along with all the analog imperfections of tape recording/playback. As the original unit, Outer Space features an echo section with three playback heads and a spring reverb tank. Outer Space is a faithful emulation plugin of a famous vintage tape echo made in the early seventies. We have collected for you the top 7 VST plugins Echo according to PluginBoutique.
