Product Detail
Unleash the power of Eventide Crystals, an iconic audio effect plugin. It combines twin reverse pitch shifters with reverse delays and reverb. Create otherworldly climbing and cascading pitched delays or unique reverbs. With two reverse granular delays adjustable by length and pitch, it breathes life into synths, guitars, and vocals, making them sound huge and majestic. Ideal for sound design and other - worldly solos. This plugin isn't just one - dimensional. It can produce huge reverbs. Tweak pitches down a full octave for a 'drunk vocal' sound, shift snare pitches down to fit in the mix, or use long delay times with high feedback as an ambient looper. The innovative RIBBON control lets you modulate multiple parameters at once, play it like an instrument, or increase feedback for an explosive effect. Press the FLEX button to shift up one octave. Features include two pitch shifters with a four - octave range, two independently adjustable delays up to 4 seconds each, a reverb with 100 seconds of decay, micro - pitching options, smooth delay grains, real - time control with RIBBON, FLEX octave shift, and MIXLOCK for consistent mix control. System requirements are MacOS 10.9 Mavericks - 12 Monterey, Windows 8 - 11, Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU, and a free iLok account with iLok License Manager. Plugin formats are AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3 (all 64 - bit only), with native Apple Silicon compatibility for all but AAX.
Using Eventide Crystals is easy! First, connect it to your audio setup as per your system requirements. For creating unique pitched delays, play around with the twin reverse pitch shifters and set the length and pitch of the reverse granular delays. If you want to add a 'drunk vocal' effect, simply tweak the pitches down a full octave. To fit snares in the mix, shift their pitches down an octave. For an ambient looping effect, set long delay times (up to 4 seconds per voice) with high feedback. The RIBBON control is great for real - time manipulation. You can play it like an instrument or increase feedback for an intense sound. Just press the FLEX button when you need to shift up one octave. When auditioning presets, use MIXLOCK to keep the mix control constant. Make sure your system meets the requirements, including having a free iLok account and iLok License Manager. As for maintenance, keep your system software up - to - date. This will ensure the plugin runs smoothly and you can enjoy all its features without any glitches.
