I do have a few quibbles with the H9000, however: the unit has a fairly long boot-up time at the start of a session. By 1977, Jimmy Page had an H910 in his equipment rack while touring with Led Zeppelin, and I suspect a few superstar guitarists may even have eventually H9000 in their stage racks, just as many gigging guitarists are using Eventide’s H9 stompbox pedal. No doubt, some rock groups will be using an H9000 live, in their mixing boards. (Conversely, for those on the clock in recording studios or post-production suites beware: you can run-up a lot of studio time flipping through the H9000’s 2000 or so presets and algorithms, a calculation that no doubt goes into the decision of a facility acquiring such a unit.)

The H9000 is the proverbial Swiss Army Knife or audio effects units, with uses during both recording and mixing work, and given that it’s 5.1 surround sound capable, it will be showing up in plenty of television and movie post-production suites, despite its $6,999 price tag. It took a bit of experimentation to dial-in the time lag on Cakewalk’s Sonar DAW (digital audio workstation)’s External Insert plugin, but once I did, the H9000 interfaces with the DAW almost as effortlessly as a software plug-in. Software synthesizers such the venerable Korg M1 and Zero-G’s Nostalgia, which recreates the old E-Mu Emulator and Fairlight synths from the 1980s sound yuuuuge the H9000 can breathe new life into tried and tested old gear. Prior to mixdown of course, plenty of additional H9000 effects can be added to tracks, such as a gated reverb on the snare, distortion to the guitars, etc. Thus, at mixdown, the H9000 can be used for a stereo reverb on all the tracks, a digital delay and/or digitally modeled plate reverb on the lead vocal, distortion and/or a doubling effect on the lead guitar. The Fireface UFX+ allows for eight stereo inputs and outputs via ADAT, and the H9000 will process four separate chains of effects.

FX Chains are invaluable for quickly exploring various combinations of effects to achieve new and inspiring sounds.” While it’s possible to get usable results shortly after setting up the unit, plan on spending a fair amount reading the unit’s instruction manual to get the most out of it. The H9000’s FX Chain paradigm is like a custom channel strip on steroids allowing any four complex algorithms to be combined and routed to taste. As the H9000’s page on the Eventide Website notes, “FX Chains can be created to act as a channel strip, a guitar ‘pedal board,’ a modular synth with effects, etc. These allow for the creation of multiple effects chains, with each chain containing up to four effects “algorithms,” with each algorithm itself containing multiple effects.

(Eventide had a recreation of Hal’s famous camera lens from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey alongside the unit at some of their tradeshow demos, so as with the original H910, I assume this choice of name was not a coincidence, and as with Hal, I can’t yet figure out how to use the H9000 to open the pod bay doors.) Inside its standard-sized double rack-space box are four quad-core ARM processors and 16 DSP engines. Many iterations later, the new H9000 can really f**k with the fabric of time.
