Eventide H3000. The Cult Classic.

Here is a demo of my favourite piece of gear.
This was actually done on a H3500, which is a H3000 with the optional sampling board.
Best to listen in between the speakers, or on headphones, to hear the large stereo image that the H3000 produces.

[@tcfween]

Running that fart sample through it gives new meaning to polishing a turd. Great video.

[@Siggy_Sour]

wow this thing shaped so much music today and still does i think because it started alot of these tricks

[@brucelmnop2043]

Boy does this bring back memories !

[@mheberling5939]

This thing improves all sounds.

[@acepaul407]

You have to be somewhat careful when you use the H3000 in the studio back in the old days. You can spend hours and hours just experimenting with it, which may not sound like a bad idea, but when you are paying $300/hr for studio time, it gets really expensive, really quick.

[@LtdBoomer]

thats what the plugin version is for.....;))

[@machinelanguage5108]

Haha I'll bet!

[@svarthelikoptern]

Cmon Eventide, we need this as a complete updated plugin. I love Factory but this is another level.

[@Emiel1983Schoonoord]

It has been updated!

[@nantschev]

The update is great

[@Emcfree2084]

Don’t listen to them, it’s not the update the marketing made out. Many of the classic and unique algorithms missing.

[@BobbyMBoMor-z6s]

@@Emcfree2084 Plug in sounds NOTHING like the hardware.

[@Emcfree2084]

@@BobbyMBoMor-z6s I sold my hardware unit for this plugin and massively regret it and annoyed at Eventide for the blatantly misleading marketing. No way I would have sold if I had known its not even close.

[@NATmusic27]

I'm out of words... I came here after researching how they did the sounds effects in Closer by NIN

[@Biosynth]

Really good vid. Good sound/Fx associations. Keep up

[@varunthankachan7096]

This is something flume would use

[@KeithPhelps]

That band pan sounds real “fly like an eagle*

[@rodrigobelinchon2982]

I hear this, and hear Queen !

[@ZAYAZOfficial]

At 4:10. I’ve been looking for this effect for years. I am assuming this is what Fatboy Slim used on The Rockerfeller Skank. ?

[@thebrightsideok]

Wow, I never realised how much it sounded like Rockerfeller Skank, I love that part of the track. I did that by manually slowing down the speed in real time using the big wheel. It’s possible they used a H3000, or maybe there’s other samplers at the time that could do this trick. I think he used Akai’s back then?

[@ZAYAZOfficial]

@@thebrightsideok you’re awesome bro! Thanks for the info and the heads up ❤️🤘

Thank you !!! Is a super inspiring video of how using modulation EFX...

[@jeffreycollins7297]

I'd bet the stutter effect of this is where Richard James got his stutter from for his music. He just didn't wanna tell any of you.

[@robertsmithshair4199]

Think he did some of that with a Yamaha Ak series sampler

[@snapascrew]

And it was at 6:16 that we found out this video was not made by a female

[@tombola2004]

Thanks, this is great

[@orbithesun1]

@6:15 is that the famous "brown-sound" everyone has been searching for or is it the sound of brown stained skid-marked underwear? 🤣

[@gitarman666]

I have an original H3000 upgraded to “kitchen sink” out of Burbank California, no idea how to hook it up it’s all XLR back there! Any help? My interface is an Apollo twin duo so not too many inputs or outputs but it is input expandable via the optic port

[@thebrightsideok]

The Apollo duo has xlr inputs at the back.

[@gitarman666]

thebrightsideok yes but only 2 combo Jack’s so that leaves me no 1/4” HiZ guitar input for guitar. so for a stereo external Eventide wouldn’t I be using both XLR ins on the Apollo?

[@thebrightsideok]

I think the Apollo has 2 rear XLR’s and the Hi-z input on the front. You should be able to switch between them? You definitely want to go stereo out from the H3000, the stereo image is a big feature. Ideally you also want to go stereo in too, (also XLR). There are several stereo algorithms, so left and right input works better. Even a small mixer would do the job.

[@hansikrusche5151]

Is the Chorus Wash Dual Preset from 2:10 achievable with the eventide h3000 vst plugin???

[@thebrightsideok]

That preset uses the “Mod Factory” algorithm, which isn’t included in the plugin unfortunately.

[@hansikrusche5151]

@@thebrightsideok thanks. is it possible to achieve the same result by tweaking and setting the vst plugin?

[@thebrightsideok]

@@hansikrusche5151 . You might get close with experimenting, but it would be hard to get it the same. On the H3000 hardware, each preset has a different set of parameters to tweak, which is unlike other effect units. In the H3000 manual, here is a brief description of what is going on with this preset: “Long delays with thickener that cut their feedback with next input signal, cleaning up the wash of delays.”

[@hansikrusche5151]

@@thebrightsideok hm seems that the eventide h3000 plugin doesn't have "set and forget" presets. that's disgusting

[@fixfaxerify]

Apart from the timeshifted beat, which ones are only possible using the sampler board/H3500?

[@thebrightsideok]

The sampling board was only used with time stretching the drum loop and the fart. The sampler itself is pretty basic editing wise. It only really does pitch shifting and time stretching. But it does sound great.

[@javiceres]

@@thebrightsideok The sampling board, allows for the delay programs to have more delay time available? As does the extra RAM in the PCM 80? Cheers!

[@thebrightsideok]

@@javiceres Yes, exactly. So it allows for some crazy long delay times, but I’m not really sure about the practical usage. Maybe as looper or something like that.

[@javiceres]

@@thebrightsideok I see, yeah. I must say I love having 2 or 4 seconds available. Specially when the feedback colors the delayed material.

[@martinkaiser5263]

Hi ! Do you make these patches yourself or are they factory presets? I have a h3000 plugin for DAW. Would you mind share those patches with me ?

[@thebrightsideok]

Hi Martin, yes these are factory presets which have been edited to suit the sound used. I also have the H3000 plugin, unfortunately it only has a few of the original algorithms from the hardware, so recreating most of these presets is impossible.

[@fixfaxerify]

This is how I want my farts to sound.

[@lifescansdarkly]

Incredible demo, thank you!

[@LostInPresets]

I thought the mystery sound at the end was a dry signal of your wife telling you to stop playing with your toys and get to the washing up ;)

how do the plugins compare? I love my 2016 Verb////awesome!

[@thebrightsideok]

I have all the Eventide plugins, they are great. Not as good as the hardware though, which has loads more character, especially the older Eventide stuff.

[@curtismills]

thebrightsideok hello why does this peace of gear cost so much ? Is it strictly for a professional studio ?

[@thebrightsideok]

It is a high end and very complex machine which would have cost a lot to develope and produce, which is why it is so expensive. When new, they were almost 5 times the price than they currently sell for. Though they were designed for professional studios, many people now have them in their home studios (like me!)

[@matrixsynth]

Nice! What did you use for the source samples?

[@thebrightsideok]

Thanks! Sound are from: OB-6, Sub 37, MS20 mini and Animoog. A few samples were used too.

[@thebrightsideok]

Awesome, thank you!

[@fundementalroast7002]

Nice, I wonder how much of this can be achieved on the Eventide Eclipse?

[@thebrightsideok]

The Eclipse actually has more DSP power, so can do most of this and more. But nothing beats the H3000 for mojo, due to the pre amps, converters and analog filtering.

[@fundementalroast7002]

@@thebrightsideok That's, what I could hear, 'mojo'. Probably the best example of the power of analogue filters on KZbin. I actually have an eclipse but have never heard it sound like this. Truly wonderful.

[@thebrightsideok]

There’s an ex-Eventide programmer called Italo who makes presets for the Eclipse. They are pretty expensive, but will take your Eclipse to another level. You can listen to some samples here: www.italodeangelis.com/it/eventide_and_other_stuff/eventide_eclipse.asp

[@fundementalroast7002]

@@thebrightsideok thanks for the suggestion :) I have heard his stuff. They are excellent examples of Eclipse programming but I have found the sound sources he uses too samey for me to justify a purchase. The examples used in this current video are of a wide variety. I would consider saving up for this machine because the demo shows a real depth in pallet not just guitar strums. If you know of any other Eclipse demos please do share as I would love to check them out.

[@italoop7850]

"Guitar strums"! Really? You may consider things more under a musical point of view, which is what people use these machines for... anyway. Musical statements are something with more value than noises for a test. But anyway... what would you like to hear the Eclipse processing? What kind of sources? I could help there...

Ye gads! That last effect stream was a portal to hell you opened! Sounds incredibly evil! ...like demons laughing at one point, would have worked well in the soundtrack for the Doom game! :D Which presets did you pass it through?

[@thebrightsideok]

Ha, yes I did hear an evil laugh too. It was sampled, then pitched both up and down, then run through “Crystal Echoes”, which can make anything sound interesting.

[@johanneshlien]

[@gitarman666]

In your dreams cowboy the Deltalab stuff is light years behind these units, the sounds your hearing are just a minuscule example, the smart harmonizing alone is worth the price of admission I recorded with them since the 80s and still see them racked in every studio that I have been fortunate enough to track in
