Ouwe rot
Eventide H949 Clockworks FX processor met defecte pitch
De klassieker, Pitchshifter doet het niet en voor de handige Harrie. De delay en de flanger doen het goed, klinkt als een dijk.
Voor de rest werkt de unit goed en is inclusief originele manual en schema's en netsnoer.
Evt. opsturen geen probleem !
225E
Specs:
H949 Harmonizer® - Harmonizer with finely controllable pitch change capability, used for "doubling" vocals, and "deglitch" option for greatly reducing objectionable artifacts in harmonized audio.
We are talking seriously cosmic delay / pitch-shift / time-reversal / time-compression / flanging / chorus / space-effects machine here. This baby was way ahead of its time, using 16-bit digital processing and a 400ms delay time with 15kHz bandwidth, the Orville of its day, costing big bucks back then in a mostly analogue era long before sampling and even computers became common outside laboratories.
Nice Touches
Besides manual control (*real* dials and switches) there are facilities for voltage control of pitch-shifting from a CV
monosynth, special keyboard or even a microcomputer (we're talking Commodore PET 2001 era!) via IEEE488 (great grand-daddy of IEEE1394 aka FireWire).[UPDATE: I just found out that this unit has the optional ALG-3
de-glitch board (or "lupine board"), as indicated by the badge on the rear panel. The de-glitch option was not included on most H949's but greatly improves the harmonizing function and is a valuable plus :-]Other nice touches include LED
s which change colour depending on the mode of operation. Working in parallel with the chorus/pitch-change/flange modes (multi-fx in 1977!), there are two sets of switches to independently delay the Main Output and Delay Output (separate XLR outputs) by 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200ms. These amounts can be combined by pushing the required switches to give a maximum delay time of 393.75ms (which pulses at 152bpm), but sadly there is no way to continuously vary the delay time, and pressing a switch causes a noticeable click. Each output has its own Feedback level - use with care or be swamped by invading aliens! Feedback
Sadly, having nothing in my spartan studio with XLR outputs on to hook up to it yet, I was wondering how to check out that the unit was operational. I figured out that I could patch the delay and main outputs to each channel of my DAT
machine's XLR inputs, and then buy a jack-to-XLR lead to plug in my keyboard. But then I discovered the FEEDBACK controls......wow! This is awesome. I just switched the thing on and a whole Forbidden Planet soundtrack unfolded before my headphoned ears... This machine is amazing even with no input to process! I've played with delays and flangers before, but this is alive, mutating, unpredictable, a creative tool in its own right.
