IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

•Before powering up the unit, check that the voltage selector on the back panel is set

correctly.

•Do not remove any covers or panels from the unit when the power is connected.

•No operator access to the internals of the unit is permitted - servicing must be

performed by qualified personnel only.

•The unit must not be operated with a damaged or ungrounded power cord.

•Suitable ventilation must be provided for the unit at all times. In particular, the rear

and side vents must not be obstructed. It is best if there is an inch or more

clearance between the top of the H8000FW and the bottom of the units above

and below.

How to Use This Manual

This manual applies to the Eventide H8000FW. For convenience, this and other members

of the H8000FW family may be referred to as H8000 except where the H8000 differs

from the H8000FW. Most of the information in this manual also applies to H8000 and

H8000A when running software version 5.2 or later.

The first and second chapters of this manual are the most important ones. The first is the

Overview and Quickstart

section. In it you will find essential information regarding the

front panel, the back panel, and the general structure of the H8000FW. After these

preliminaries are out of the way, you’ll start using the H8000FW and learning the basic

methodologies that you will employ whenever you use the H8000FW.

The

Overview and Quickstart

section is not meant to be complete. It’s meant to get

you up and running fast, circumventing thornier issues in favor of speed. If you would

like to know more about a particular topic discussed in this chapter, look to the abundant

references contained therein. They’ll point you to "chunkier" discussions in the remainder

of the manual.

Ideally, we would have you read through the

Overview and Quickstart

section with the

H8000FW in front of you, following the examples. After you finish the

Quickstart

section, we’d have you play with the H8000FW for a while. Once the initial "new box

euphoria" wears off a bit, we’d have you sit down and read the

Operation

section. A true

appreciation and mastery of the H8000FW cannot be obtained without reading the

manual! We’d have you consult the appendices only when you need specific, technical

information. Finally, when you need to find information days, weeks, months, and years

down the road, we’d have you use the comprehensive

Table of Contents

and

Index

In particular, a good understanding of The Comprehensive Input / Output Scheme on page 52

and Program Load, Save, Delete, Etc. on page 118 and beyond are necessary to get the best

from the H8000FW. In order to use MIDI Program Change messages it is necessary to

understand Loading a Program Via a MIDI Program Change Message as described on page 121.

For information about using the H8000FW with a PC or Mac see Using the H8000FW

with a computer.

The Big Picture

The Eventide H8000FW is a programmable, multi-channel, multipurpose, 96kHz-capable,

dual or monolithic digital signal processor (DSP), 24 bit digital audio signal processor with

UltraShifter™capability. That’s a lot of adjectives! It is the successor to a long, proud

line of digital signal processors that stretches back to a time when most audio

manufacturers didn’t know digital audio from Morse code.

The H8000FW is loaded with features that put it in a class by itself. It has 12 AES/EBU

digital inputs and outputs, eight ADAT digital inputs and outputs, two S/P DIF digital

inputs and outputs, and four analog inputs and outputs, as well as 16 channels or FireWire

for connection to a PC or Mac and very comprehensive routing capabilities for

controlling them. The H8000FW houses two independent signal processors, each having

eight inputs and eight outputs (imaginatively dubbed "DSP A" and "DSP B"). The two

processors can be run in parallel, in series, or in any mutant variation thereof. In addition,

the H8000FW can run "monolithic programs" that use the processing resources of both

DSP A and B to run just one large program.

The variety and depth of the programs that the H8000FW possesses are truly amazing,

from lush reverbs, to choruses, to flanges, to delays, to pitch shifters, to dynamics, to

EQs, to filters, to distortions, to synthesizers, to samplers, to ring modulators, and

everything in-between. The H8000FW can do it all. And if that’s not enough, DSP A

boasts nearly three minutes of sample time in addition to the 44 seconds of delay time

found on both DSP A and DSP B!

And for the user who is interested in making his or her own programs (if the huge number

of factory programs aren’t enough!), the H8000FW continues the "modular programming

paradigm" that made the DSP4000 and its offspring famous. Programs are composed of

individual building blocks, or "modules," that allow the user to create original programs.

Inspiration and creativity are given no bounds. . .

As you read this manual, it may be easy to "lose sight of the forest for the trees." Always

bear in mind the following:

•The H8000FW houses two independently running DSPs (digital signal processors).

They are lovingly referred to as "DSP A" and "DSP B." Although they are both

always running, you can only view the parameters for one DSP at a time. Use the

PROCESSOR A/B key to toggle the display between the two DSPs. (Both DSPs

can be combined to run a single, "monolithic" program - see below.)

•Each DSP runs "programs" that are stored in the system. "Programs" are the

algorithms that manipulate your audio. With the exception of "large sampler

programs" and some "long delay" programs, any program can be run on either

DSP. Like two separate effects boxes, the parameters for the program running on

DSP A are totally independent of the parameters for the program running on DSP

B. Like two separate effects boxes, you can connect the outputs of one DSP to

the inputs of the other, or use them completely independently.

•Some processing-intensive programs are designed to run on the resources of both

DSPs. These "monolithic" programs use the input/output routing of DSP A.

While a monolithic program is running, all parameters for DSP B disappear.

•DSP A and DSP B each have eight "virtual" inputs and outputs, which can be

patched to the eight main inputs, each other, or any of their outputs.

See the inserted routing guide for complete routing details.

Never lose sight of the above facts!!! They are the foundation upon which we will build our understanding!!!
