Eventide Audio has announced an update to the immersive audio versions of two of its plugins: Blackhole Immersive and Micropitch Immersive.
Debuted during the AES NY 2023 Convention, the two plug-ins are designed from the ground up for surround and immersive workflows, including Dolby Atmos®. The plug-ins have now been updated to add mono and stereo support; 7.0.6, 7.1.6, 9.0.4, 9.1.4, 9.0.6, and 9.1.6 loudspeaker configuration support; and full upmixing support for 5.0.2, 5.1.2, 5.0.4, 5.1.4, 7.0.4, and 7.1.4 channel configurations (previously these layouts only supported mono and stereo upmixing).
New presets have been added to both plug-ins, including artist presets from Scott Michael Smith for Blackhole. These releases have also been made more efficient to reduce overall CPU usage.
Blackhole and MicroPitch Immersive are available for purchase at an MSRP of $499 USD each. Owners of the stereo versions save 20% of their purchase. Current users can download the updated versions for free.
The updated plugins will be demonstrated during The NAMM Show 2024 in Anaheim, booth 15700 (North Hall).
