Eventide Ultra-Harmonizer DSP4000: Select Factory Presets

A demo of some of the presets on the Eventide Ultra-Harmonizer DSP4000. Classic Eventide presets include "Black Hole", "GloriousFlngCanyon", "E-noseFlngCanyon", "E-noseChorusCanyon", "Echospace of God" and many more. The DSP4000 was released in 1994 and it includes all these presets. There is also an H3000 emulation bank on the DSP4000.

Jodie foster was able to contact an alien civilization with this device

No wonder it's expensive.

[@Eventual420]

I have always found it difficult to demo the Eventide units because of the massive potential, but you have done nicely. Thank you! 🙏😊 Much enjoyed.

Thank you for the comment!

The unbeatable Eventide....timeless....Love mine too.... Great video ;)

[@i-78east93]

Thanks!

[@samuelj.rivard]

i wonder which preset call the aliens?

[@yvess3010]

:D

[@TheDanceluver37]

Was watching the movie Contact. Saw Jodie Foster’s character using it and had to check it out. A very amazing machine.

[@progrockfan90]

Many thanks, this is a good overview of the DPS:400. More please.

[@i-78east93]

Thanks! Still have all my gear packed up but will return with more demos once I get going again.

[@matteobusatto9758]

Balm for my ears. Thank you so much, I would like to have one of those so much

[@RockmannMusic]

Sounds gorgeous but used market buyers just be aware. The DSP series [4000, 7000, 7500, Orville] are unrepairable. Eventide dropped any support and is not offering spare parts of any kind or even a downloadable back up of the rom. The data holding cells in the Mach CMOS ICs in these devices wearing off over time and will render these models unusable, unfortunately. Big gamble & No need [IMO] to pay £2000+ asking price for any of the DSP Series

[@descendancedenoefilsdadam1028]

A tech can repair them like any devices and as long there is non working units sold for few there is still parts for other working units.

[@sheilasmith8844]

I bought a unit in mint condition that needed the new CMOS IC replaced and had zero trouble finding several of them. Took about 15 mins of searching on line, ordered two of them, up and running just fine.

[@RockmannMusic]

@@sheilasmith8844 Finding NOS Mach IC's is not a problem. It's a problem if the defective IC is the one that holds a part of the OS. Eventide does not provide any support

[@pandable8657]

eventide forever

[@pandable8657]

I own one of these but i always appreciate more demos. crazy psychedelia is what I use it for personally

[@i-78east93]

@@pandable8657 Thanks Pandable, yeah these are amazing machines, so musical and powerful.

[@pandable8657]

@@i-78east93 have you compared this with newer offerings from Eventide? Do you know what the differences are? I've never played with an Orville, an Eclipse, or anything like that; and I don't know how they stack up against my 4000.

[@i-78east93]

@@pandable8657 No unfortunately I haven't. Would be great to get to compare the 4000 side by side with one of the newer boxes. My understanding of the differences is that the amount of DSP power (and AD/DA converter quality) goes up with every generation. Orville and the H8000 are multi-channel boxes (8 channels I believe). The Eclipse is more limited than the harmonizers in the sense that it doesn't support VSig (I have never used VSig myself, but it opens up the possibility of buying e.g. some highly acclaimed 3rd party program sets). If I was to get another harmonizer, it would probably be the 7600 as it is the last successor of the 4000, but just like the 4000, the 7600 is not that easy to find 2nd hand. I know that many people think that nowadays everything can be replaced with plugins, but to me the 4000 is a special box to have as it was Eventide's flagship product after a long period success with the H3000 and it is the origin of these legendary presets.

[@MPHORROCKS]

I bought their Anthology XI collection and some of the new H9 vsts and they're pretty amazing. Obviously not quite the rich depth of the hardware, but still pretty wonderful. The H9 algorithms (BlackHole, Crystals) are so easy to use.

[@vladimirverline8251]

old school the best real good

[@javierjanaid]

Thanks for that!!

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Awesome demonstration

[@mytbeats]

what an amazing unit

[@tokeklinke8482]

MORE VIDEOS PLEASE :)

[@JMLRecording]

very helpful thanks!

[@Baskerian]

It sounds so good I bought one las week. :)

[@i-78east93]

Nice, congrats!

[@atarirob]

Hi there do you still own this unit? If so, have you had any experience with using Vsig over Windows 10? I've found one for a decent price but really want to know if Vsig works still with these older units. I really appreciate it, thanks :)

[@i-78east93]

Hi! Yes I do, but I've never used Vsig, so unfortunately I won't be able to help with that. :(

[@atarirob]

@@i-78east93 Ah that's okay! Thank you very much for getting back to me. Great video by the way, I must have watched it 10 or so times drooling over it hahaha

[@lilyjordy1203]

Sounds so good !!

[@imaginaryfloods]

Ta num filme chamado Contato. 👽

[@Megawindo]

Yes, it seems that it's very useful for contacting aliens...at least according to Jodie Foster's attempts 😁

[@gutekzpoligonu]

Can You tell me what kind of presets are in bank 15 and 16?

[@i-78east93]

Bank 15: "Mastering Suite" (just a few compressors), Bank 16: "Mixdown Suite" (various EQ+shifter+reverb+delay effects). ROM version 2.112.

[@alexanderpanarin1033]

Does dsp4000 have micropitchshift?

[@i-78east93]

yes

[@Jupiter8Boy64]

FX volumes are too low to judge

[@LifeOnHoth]

Clearly you don't know how the dry signal sound like. Not trying to be mean or anything, but you are kinda wrong.

[@John_Michael2000]

Ok Im getting the impression that this has nothing to do with singing. I need a fantastic sounding harmonizer to create realistic backup singers

[@sheilasmith8844]

This can do it. The Harmonizer section is fantastic. This demo just shows the cool verbs. This is probably the best device you will find for creating your back up vocals.
