Eventide FX For iPhone And iPad

US Blackhole Reverb, UltraTap Delay and MicroPitch released for iOS 19/07/19

Eventide has released three new iOS music creation and live performance effects apps from their catalogue of studio hardware and software: Blackhole Reverb, UltraTap Delay, and MicroPitch for iPhone and iPad. All are available now as standalone apps and as AUv3 plugins for use in popular iOS DAWs, ready for download from the App Store.

Richard Factor, Eventide Founder, told us, “Entering into the iOS music creation ecosystem is an exciting new horizon for Eventide! Beginning years ago with our ‘Factor’ series of guitar pedals, our mission has been to put studio-quality performance effects within the grasp of all artists. A decade ago audio production techniques evolved from the exclusive world of the recording studio and expensive consoles to working ‘in the box'. Eventide is now focused on partnering with Apple to help take the next step – moving music creation and audio production from ‘in the box’ to ‘in the hand.’ We also believe that each effect should be a ‘playable’ instrument in its own right and so we’ve developed our innovative ‘Ribbon’ to unleash a new level of instant creative control. Our first three releases for iPhone and iPad - Blackhole Reverb, UltraTap Delay and MicroPitch - offer just that, playable effects and sound design tools for mobile musicians and producers, in every genre, from beginner to professional.”

Here's more details in Eventide's own words...

Blackhole Reverb, a reverb effect as big as the cosmos, is poised to create out-of- this-world ambiance for iPhone and iPad.

Derived from the original hardware versions of Eventide’s flagship studio processors and the popular “Space” pedal, the original Blackhole Reverb was created as "an abnormally large reverb, sucking everything into a bottomless chamber.” Later in the Mac/PC plug-in version, the Ribbon and Hotswitch meta-controls enabled musicians to musically manipulate multiple parameters in real time for enhanced playability. Blackhole Reverb’s remarkable otherworldly sound designs have been used on hundreds of recordings and in sci-fi films. For example, in Prometheus it created the large cavernous soundscapes that evoked eerie, unsettling sensations. Skywalker Sound has used it on numerous film productions and it can be heard throughout Blade Runner 2049’s soundtrack enhancing the film’s disturbing atmosphere.

Blackhole Reverb for iOS breaks the rules by allowing musicians, producers and sound designers for film and game audio to create virtual spaces on their iPhone and iPad that could never exist in reality. At large sizes, Blackhole Reverb’s soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to shine on guitars, strings, vocals and pads. At small sizes, those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section.

UltraTap Delay is an audio effect for rhythmic delays, great for reverbs, huge volume swells and modulation

With origins in the studio classic H3000, UltraTap Delay for iPhone and iPad is a versatile, multi-tap delay effect capable of rhythmic delays, glitchy reverbs, wacky comb-filtering and huge pad-like volume swells by employing extraordinary and innovative modulation techniques. Creative controls like "Slurm" for juicy tap slurring, glitched auto-volume chopping and enormous swell features for breakbeats or atmospheric rises make it the perfect tool for creating drum fills, vocal choruses, swelling guitar chords and other evolving effects. UltraTap for iOS can create everything from reversed reverbs to a massed church choir singing a Gregorian chant in a cathedral! With playable Ribbon and Hotswitch meta-controls, it’s a must-have for sound designers, DJs, EDM, Trap, Hip-Hop producers and musicians for creating, enhancing and performing music.
