Eventide H9000 Expandable 16-Channel Effects Processor | Pro Tools at NAMM 2020

Good news at the NAMM 2020 for users of the omnipotent multi effects processor called Eventide H9000: Eventide offers the Pro Tools | HD Expansion Card, an optional expansion card with which the device H9000, which goes back to the Eventide Harmonizer such as the H9 Max Dark, is completely in AVID Pro Tools | HD can be integrated.

The Eventide H9000 appears on the DAW Pro Tools | HD as an audio interface with 16 or even 32 I/Os depending on the operating mode! Thus, the processor can be fully integrated into the hardware. So there is access to the 1600 effect algorithms of the H9000, which are operated (and automated) like a plug-in in Pro Tools but are calculated on the ARM-DSPs. As it should be for a highly professional device, the choice of synchronization options is high.

this Eventide effects processor designed to deliver efficient, versatile, and customizable audio processing for recording and mixing engineers in broadcast, film and music production, and live stage applications. Its four quad-core ARM DSP processors provide power for up to 16 simultaneous effects instantiated on individual channels or configured as chains with up to four effects per chain. Route 16 channels of audio I/O via USB or up to eight channels via analog, AES/EBU, or ADAT connections.

Store presets in the internal memory or external USB drives. Algorithm parameters can be adjusted from the front-panel controls, a networked computer, or a MIDI controller. It allows stand-alone operation or plug-in use thanks to compatibility with Mac OS X and AAX Native, Audio Units, and VST plug-in formats.
