      It has been very quiet over here lately. Just wondering are there any algorithms planned in the near future for the H9?

      Can someone from Eventide maybe offer a glimpse of what is yet to come for the H9?

      We have a newletter scheduled to go out at the start of the next week that will have a sneak preview of the new H9 algorithm.

         Well, that’s got it narrowed it down to one of the 4 basic food groups.  wink

        This sounds like another candidate for signal flow graphics / adjustments on “page 2”.

        Now I wonder where FEEDBACK (if available) re-enters that signal chain …?

        OK great news! A combination of delay, pitch and drive/fuzz was exactly my wish for a new H9 algo. I love these combined algos like SpaceTime. Makes te H9 even more versatile. Thanks Eventide!!!

      I received this teaser in the mail but it so vague that I have no clue what they are talking about. It briefly mentiones a new H9 algorithm at 1:58 but you won’t get any wiser by watching this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOW3oGnlbcg&feature=youtu.be

      It’s pretty fruity! Sounds like a nifty pinch factor-like alg. Liked seeing some H9000 news too 🙂 too bad it doesn’t work with EVE/NET. I’ll have to make some room!

        The giraffe has given birth and the new Star Wars trailer is out…indecision…not that I’m keeping score or anything. wink (This is not a criticism, but this forum has the most unusual Smiley’s I’ve ever seen.

        Hi guys,

        Unfortunately we've had scheduling conflicts resulting in a delay on PitchFuzz, so we need to push back release about a month.  It's looking like the end of April.

      Hi Guys, pitchfuzz web logo dissapeared since a week more or less, so i knew something wrong was happening..
      By the way, in this awaiting inpass, you could try to improve fuzz, seems it’s the worst and less appetizing bite from peach ;-).

        Based on what? where did you hear it?

        I don’t mind that it is posponed. I trust the Eventide staff to do the best they can. If that takes a little bit more time it’s only a better result in the end.

      I prefer things well done, yessss, so i agree with you. And because of it, if someone has seen and, more important, heard YouTube NAAM demos with Alan Chaput, and looks at reviewer’s face…. Seems not too much impresive fuzz sound. It’s my personal opinion based on a few minutes listening to peachfuzz demos, it seems that the fuzz part is an one trick pony with an only kind of fuzz, it would be great to have a wide range of fuzz shapes and tones, from benders and maestros to Muffs.
      All that said, H9 It’s a great and quality tool, and Eventide an innovative company. But for that reason, everybody has to tells them ways and ideas to improve something, maybe, not too top notch.
      Anyway… I hope it will be a new great algorithm as soon as possible.

        I will say that the fuzz sound has changed since that NAMM video.  My colleague, Pete, agreed that it wasn't quite right, and he spent some time trying out some different approaches.  I've heard at least one of my colleagues say that it's now their favorite distortion in the H9…  People are so particular about distortion sounds that I can't guarantee you'll agree with him, but in any case the algorithm has evolved a bit since you last heard it.

      Thank you, I am so happy that i am not a complaining guy, and even more happy that Eventide try the best to improve for making the best effects in the world.
      You are the best, boys.

      I am a newbie to Eventide but my H9 Max is overwhelmingly awesome! I am excited to hear this new algo when it does come out, and appreciate what fine craftsmanship you guys put into your products.

    • #146078

      I recently became the owner of the H9 MAX and I was convinced (not even checked) that the device has a serial double delay. Filter Pong does not have separate adjustment of feedback, so not really suitable. Please fix this misunderstanding!

         ALL the other delay algos have separate feedback controls. Maybe theycan do what you want? They are all parallel, as far as I know, though.

        If you really want series, you CAN do it manually, with an extra patch cord. Check it out:

        https://www.eventideaudio.com/community/forum/stompboxes/timefactor-dual-delay-series

         

        As far as the “misunderstanding”… am I reading right that you didn’t actually check it out.. you just thought maybe the delays were serial? The technical details of the H9 are pretty avaliable, and I, for one, never thought there would be serial delays… so i kind of think you are the only one who can correct that misunderstanding 🙂

         

        Cheers!

      Is it me or are the levels way too high?  My wet signal from the H9 is way hotter than the dry signal for pretty much all patches..

    • #146737

      Yeah -*far too high. Nice effect (not for me) but seems to be additionally a crazy-ass boost pedal …

    • #146751

      They are quite loud. Increasing the gain also increases the output. It’s tricky to manage for unity gain.

      All in all I like the update though. Trying to find songs to use them!

      Any chance the folks over at H9 HQ could whip up a “ClassicsFactor” algorithm? Include some pedalboard staples… blue box number 2 chorus, orange box phaser, grey box flanger etc…

      As much as I love my H9, sometimes it’s hard or impossible to get those old school sounds, even sitting next to the originals! I would love to be able to leave the originals at home.

      Thanks!

        I see about an 18-20 dB spread of Output levels in the factory presets.  To me, that implies a variety of sources, preset programmers, & system setups.  I suppose that Eventide could have tried to compress that range, with a single test system.  Even that isn’t going to translate perfectly for the myriad of end-user configurations out there.

        So what do you do (especially in an algo with hi-gain possibilities, with some automatic leveling features)?  ‘Normalize’ everything to 0 dB?  That has the same potential for TS issues. Use the Input & Output meters in H9 Control.  Tweak the presets to behave well in your own signal chain.  Presets were never intended to be ‘plug ‘n’ play’ for everyone. Otherwise, they’d be burned into ROM, and not adjustable & savable to RAM.

        I’ve got a few of those in preset form, if you’re interested.  I don’t often set out to ‘clone’ the classics, using the H9.  But I did cop my Script Phase 90 & original 117 at one point.

        For the CE (which I don’t own), I started with very similar parameter values, then ‘translated’ across many, many algorithms.  That was more of an A-B test on how the embedded chorusing features compared to one another.  Subtle, yet distinctive.

      So many complaints about the high output of the (Pitch) Fuzz! I wonder if Eventide is going to update the algo.

      As far as new algos are concerned; really wonder what they will come up with next. I hope a four head tape delay like the Binson Echorec, or maybe a new kind of Ring Modulator or a Bitcrusher.

      It would be kind of horrifying if they changed an actual algorithm . Everyone who uses it for anything would suddenly have presets that are too quiet!

      Now- updating the PRESETS is another story altogether. The PitchFuzz presets ARE generally unusable as they sit… but I make my own preset in every algo anyway, so it is not really anything. I would be unhappy if they changed the underlying gain staging now, after I have things how I like them.

      Probably more useful would be giving us a little more advanced methods of organizing presets. Like a “Hide All Factory Presets” button? Or maybe folders?

        It’s very easy and quick to adjust your level. So that should’t be a reason for not updating the algo.

        If that were true, why suggest it needs updating to fix the levels??

         

        But seriously.. anything that changes a patch I am already using on stage would be an unwelcome update, imo. 

        Updating presets? Sure. I don’t have them on my pedal anyway. Let me file away all the PitchFuzz presets that I am not using because they are too loud? I want that. My H9 control app is cluttered with presets I don’t use.

        But changing the underlying algo, so I have to go in and re-do my presets if I update the pedal? That should never be done. This is a stomp-box.. I need it to be predictable on stage… not unpredictably different after an update. And anyway- the PitchFuzz algo is fine. Its just that the presets aren’t gain-matched very well.

      Thanks for that DMM.  I couldn’t get to compiling ‘Classic’ presets last night.  Here’s a direct link to a 50-Preset List; five from each ModFactor algorithm.  Those Phaser presets may be more convoluted than ‘classic’.
