The system clocks at the heart of the design drifted and wobbled introducing a degree of randomness in the effect not found in later crystal-based, precise digital devices. The design predates the introduction of the CD and digital audio sample rate standards (e.g. In addition to the glitch, all of the quirkiness of the original H910 has been emulated. Not surprisingly, artists found creative ways to use the glitch and, in fact, years later when the H949 was introduced with advanced de-glitching circuitry, some users were disappointed that the glitch was gone. So, if you are looking to transform, fatten, and mangle your sounds, it is a small investment worth investigating.The original H910’s unique pitch change method introduced random ‘glitches’ into the audio and the word ‘glitch’ into the audio engineer’s vocabulary. Its regular price is $249 USD but it is currently on sale for $79 USD.

In addition to being a whole lot more portable and lighter weight, the plugin is also significantly cheaper. It works with Mac, PC, Ableton, Protools, Cubase, etc and its front panel design is true-to-the-original. Featuring: keyboard mapping, MIDI mapping, an envelope follower, delay grouping and anti-feedback pitch changes, the H910’s original pitch “glitching” effect which creates glitches when pitch is modified, as well as self-oscillation (for pads and creating drones), mix lock (to browse presets with wet/dry mix holding steady) and pretty much universal DAW and computer compatibility.
Using analog modelling, the Eventide H910 plug-in is faithful as can be to the original. Crank up the settings for robotic space-like effects, dial it down for more subtle slapback delays, reverbs, and pitch manipulations. It is ideal for creating doubling effects, to fatten and enrich sounds. With purchase of the Eventide 910 Harmonizer plugin, you also get access to the D ual Harmonizer option, which emulates two Harmonizers being stacked side-by-side. Chock-full of hundreds of presets, including those created by renowned artists, the plugin works like a charm, adding thickness and complexity to drums, harmonies to vocals, and de-tuning to synths. Now, more than 40 years later, Eventide has released a Plugin version of the H910. After a few iterations of the H910, Eventide released the H3000, which was lauded by producers like Brian Eno, who wrote a letter to Eventide in 1992 telling them that the H3000 “is the best designed and most enjoyable piece of equipment I’ve ever owned.” The H3000 is different from the original H910 in that it has a simple jog wheel on the front, as well as a plethora of other notable features like stereo shift, dual shift, layered shift, swept shift, reverse combos and swept reverb. But, like most hardware, it was expensive.
The Harmonizer revolutionized music making in ways that are undeniable: never before were textural details like this possible. The delay time went up to 112.5 milliseconds, and could be executed by a keyboard remote-control to trigger half-step changes. This multi-effect combination of feedback, delay, and pitch correction simultaneously, could be manipulated to change pitch in half-steps. There was nothing quite like it back in the day when it was first released, in 1974. U nique in the ways that it works with sound, the harmonizer combines delay and feedback with glitch-free pitch correction. Eventide made a name for themselves with the H910 Harmonizer – the first ever digital effects processor.
