H9000 Effects Processor

Multi-Effects Processor with Network Capability

Eventide’s flagship multi-effects processor, the H9000, continues our unbroken tradition of delivering industry-leading signal processing power to the pro audio community. The culmination of nearly fifty years of R&D, the H9000 comes loaded with over 1600 unique algorithms from recreations of beloved classics to Eventide’s latest and greatest effects. The wealth of included effects will offer users many years of exploration and inspiration.

The H9000 is available in two versions, the standard H9000 and the H9000R.

Features

Legendary Sounds, New Paradigms

The H9000 comes loaded with 1600 unique algorithms from the H8000 and the H9 with over 500 presets covering reverb, delay, modulation, pitch shifting, EQs, distortion, and more. Multi-channel algorithms include 5.1 halls, chambers, plates, rooms, booths, and various ambient spaces. Also, the H9000 introduces the concept of FX Chains for connecting any set of four effects with user-defined, flexible routing. FX Chains can be created to act as a channel strip, a guitar pedalboard, a modular synth with effects, etc. The H9000’s FX Chain paradigm is like a custom channel strip taken to the next level, allowing any four algorithms to be combined and routed to taste. FX Chains are invaluable for quickly exploring various combinations of effects to achieve new and inspiring sounds.

New RNBO Support

Eventide has collaborated with Cycling ’74 to offer Max programmers the opportunity to seamlessly export patches from the H9000 multi-effects processor through the RNBO environment. This integration of RNBO support allows H9000 owners to develop and run new effects of their own creation on their H9000.

This exciting feature is now accessible with the release of RNBO v1.2.7-eventide.0 and the Eventide H9000 package v.1.0.3-beta.4. With this update, users can incorporate up to four RNBO algorithms per FX Chain, unlocking a realm of creative possibilities.

Expansion Cards

The H9000 offers optional network audio I/O via 3 expansion card slots with up to 32 channels of bidirectional audio each.
