4 inputs / 4 analog outputs
spdif
AES / EBU
midi-in/out/thru
2 DSP totally independent, we can route the inputs and outputs that we want
Effects:
It will be simple: we can have everything like effects. Just program them with Vsig (it takes time and patience)
Tap tempo from version 3 (downloadable from the net)
Impressive amount of memory and the ability to add memory cards with PCMCIA
And plenty of things = see the manual (very comprehensive)
In short there is everything except one major flaw: big latency on large algos = -1
UTILIZATION
This is not trivial at all. We must go into the logic eventide sometimes a bit dark but the manual is very good and very clear. Only the manual default: no French = -1
For algos there already more than 900 that are available: there really what to do!
Fully controllable by noon (but it's very boring to properly configure)
SOUND QUALITY
This is where it's huge! We can refine all algos with Vsig, change the settings of the presets, make connections to avoid charging three times the same effect if you change computers. And then BAM in my face = if I had to find a word: perfection!
The reverbs are worthy of the best lexicon, never heard of such delay, the modulations are impressive and relevant, etc. ...
Transparency is not the "master" word to the extent that it can be programmed effects with a strong personality: I made a small chorus that sounds like an analog one (yum). After all depends on what you want, if you search the transparency: there's no better, if you search for digital but that can sound like the analog .... there's no better either!
In short everything is a matter of taste, tuning, programming and patience.
For sound, I do not think we can do better (even the H8000 is not better. Also good but not better!)
OVERALL OPINION
Ultra Complete, large memory, audio quality, fully customizable and pilates through noon. No limit seems to be on the horizon, then what about evil on this product? Bah it's very complex to learn, and once we're at it we realize that we have yet to discover ... Brief for the fans of sleepless nights, or people who want to make any consession qd talking about her, then that's fine.
For those who prefer simplicity, usability and effectiveness, go your way, you will not understand the interest of this jewel.
Finally, under my usage ("multi-effects" for guitar), there is a very big flaw: a lag unbearable! He must think his set so that it does not get along too. Me I want to part with it just for that, but j'ésite because I know I find no such a sound quality (the eclipse, my other grateux has it, is an ordinary toy to the side) .
If we know why we buy so we know what to expect. Therefore presented in context this product is the ultimate perfection = 10 (because impossible to put more)
