Eventide Fission

Post by arkos »

Yeah yeah I know I'm always posting about the latest and the greatest, I'm a shopaholic sue me :D

Some really interesting things coming out of this, I don't think I've ever had as much fun playing with a phaser self oscillating as with this thing.

I tried a preset called "Blackholish" on a basic detuned Saw and that was pretty much instant Blade Runner pad, pretty nice little plug that can mock up drums too.

Looks interesting, although i'll have to see if this is actually useful for day to day sound design.

I have noticed a distinct lack of excitement when working with any plug-in that looks like a star trek control panel. Give me fake knobs! hehe

I saw Richard Devine made some patches for it, looks like a cool plugin. On sale now for $97 but my wallet already hurting.

Any plugin that takes a mundane detuned saw wave and turns it into a blade runner pad is instabuy in my book :D

Edit; pitch shifting sounds amazing in this thing! Really nice for musically retarded mother fuckers like me :mrgreen:

Looks like a great sound mangling tool, after seeing the Richard Devine presets it looks like a must buy for me, sounds great

Has someone used this since the launch? I'm curious if it works well for tuning percussion without bouncing it? Applying pitch shifters in a signal chain often produces artefacts when played out.

man, it's Eventide.
I bought their flagship H8000Fw about 5 years ago,
only a few months before they started releasing their pedals,
so yeah, I paid full price for it...
But I never regretted that purchase. Ever.
You can't believe how many presets that are in there that will make anything sound like some ambient soundscape, no matter what you run through it.

also, the "black hole" is a legendary Eventide preset,
the preset you're talking about is probably based on that one,
but yeah, it's like an endless reverb, absolutely amazingly breathtakingly beautiful.
Anything you run through that will always sound better, unless you can't deal with that much reverb in your track.

Yeah I've been sucked in with their software kinda wish I had a hardware unit too but they're way to expensive for me atm :shock:

Plus I'm trying to keep the hardware setup basic this time :)

It's great on synths really makes them lush sounding with minimal effort, love it for ambient work as well like taking the attack off piano/guitar sounds. Must admit not used it a lot on drums.
