Eventide Audio has announced the release of the second generation of its universally acclaimed H3000 plugins, delivering a 1:1 recreation in digital form of its legendary H3000 Harmonizer.

H3000 Factory Mk II and H3000 Band Delay Mk II plugins represent ‘the Holy Grail’ of DAW-based effects processing, delivering timeless sound in an inspiring, flexible design.

As one of the most famous hardware effects processors in history, the H3000 has set the gold standard in commercial studios around the world since its original launch in 1988.

“The H3000 Mk II plug-ins are the culmination of years of research into what makes the original H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer® so impactful,” says David Baylies, Project Lead/Software Engineer, Eventide.

“Finally, we feel we’ve captured the magic of the hardware with dialed-in effects, accurate presets, and a full model of the H3000’s analog converters. With H3000 Factory Mk II and H3000 Band Delays Mk II, you get an endless suite of FX to get lost in, just like with the original box. You’ll find Modulators, Delays, nuanced Pitch Shifters, and more – all flavored by the classic sound of the original circuitry. Just as the H3000 was one-of-a-kind, you won’t get this experience from any other plug-in.”

The new H3000 Mk II plug-ins feature:

  • Brand new modeling of the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter sections of the original H3000.
  • Filter recreations accurately replicate the resonance and self-oscillation behavior of the hardware, faithfully capturing its magical sound.
  • Modern graphics that highlight the iconic design of the H3000 Harmonizer, now with a resizable user interface.

Available from the Eventide Audio store and at distributor Plugin Boutique, the H3000 Factory Mk II multi-FX plugin and H3000 Band Delays Mk II are priced $199 USD and $149 USD, respectively. A bundle of both is available at a $100 USD savings. The plugins are free to try with 30-day demos.
