Eventide H949 Harmonizer

Building on the legacy of the H910 pitch shifter, the H949 was Eventide-s first de-glitched pitch-shifter. Produced from 1977 - 1984, it introduced MicroPitch which used a proprietary single sideband modulation technique for precise control of small pitch shifts. The H949 also offered unique flange, reverse and randomized pitch effects.

Here-s how it was described when first introduced:

...a combination digital delay line, pitch changer and all-around special effects unit. The TIME REVERSAL feature is entirely new. When used as a variable-speed tape recorder, the Harmonizer® is capable of shortening or lengthening a piece of program material to fit a given time slot without altering the pitch.

Popularized by Jimmy Page (as the only piece of digital gear to grace his rig) and cherished by Suzanne Ciani the H949-s full feature set is recreated in this plug-in. From basic engineering and sound sculpting tasks to demonic space robot creations; H949 is built to inspire.

Multiple Uses
Create perfect harmonies, custom musical intervals, or outlandish effects. Fatten snares, de-tune synths, spread guitars and create lush vocals that glue your mix. Spice up your guitar solos with delayed reverse sweeps, morph a solo vocalist into a group of backup singers, or send synths down flanged-out dub-holes to another sonic dimension.

De-glitched Pitch Change
The H949 algorithm uses a proprietary auto-correlation algorithm to make intelligent splicing decisions. The user can -dumb-down- the algorithm by choosing a simple cross-fade algorithm which results in characteristic glitching.

Twist the Knobs
Old school -UI- - just twist some knobs to dial in the sound you-re going for.

Double Down
This native plug-in version also includes the H949 Dual, which recreates the popular technique of running two units in parallel. Lush doubling, stereo widening and simultaneous shifting of pitch up and down.
