A custom analog-to-digital converter, compounding, filtering and analog feedback combined to give the unit a distinctive sound which this plug-in faithfully re-creates. It used simple digital logic gates and some of the earliest RAM memory chips but was, in large measure, an analog beast. The original H910 was a 100% software-free, analog and digital processor that predated the earliest practical ADC or DSP chips by several years. True End To End Emulation & Dual Harmonizer Technique!Įventide has painstakingly modeled every section of the analog signal chain to recreate the sounds of the original H910. These authentic plugin recreations of the Eventide H910 and H910 Dual feature hundreds of presets and include a number of artist presets. The combination of glitch, randomness and analog signal path, especially when the feedback control was turned up, added an ‘organic’ feel to the sound and that feeling comes through in the plug-in.
This was evident in the way that the display would flicker between pitch ratio readings. The system clocks at the heart of the design drifted and wobbled introducing a degree of randomness in the effect not found in later crystal-based, precise digital devices. The design predates the introduction of the CD and digital audio sample rate standards (e.g. In addition to the glitch, all of the quirkiness of the original H910 has been emulated. Not surprisingly, artists found creative ways to use the glitch and, in fact, years later when the H949 was introduced with advanced de-glitching circuitry, some users were disappointed that the glitch was gone. The original H910’s unique pitch change method introduced random ‘glitches’ into the audio and the word ‘glitch’ into the audio engineer’s vocabulary.
