Incorporates Eventide's newest pitch-shifting technology, the UltraShifter. Produces natural-sounding vocal harmonies in real time in a full 4-octave range. Unmatched modification of vocal timbre. Hundreds of new presets plus many of the best from the DSP4000 Ultra-Harmonizer® line. Also compatible with 99% of those available on DSP4000/4500 plug-in cards. 4-channel reverbs for 360û surround-sound ambience and an abundant array of reverbs, pitch shifters, distortion, dynamics, EQ, phasing, flanging, and other music and production effects -- all front-panel selectable using either the Eventide knob or keypad. All programs are grouped into banks. Create new programs with the onboard object-oriented algorithm construction kit -- a "virtual patchbay" that includes over 150 distinct effects modules, all editable using the large LCD window on Orville's front panel. Algorithm construction kit interface can be used with Eventide's VSIGFILE, a PC/Windows-based* freeware editing tool-of-choice for the hard-core preset developer. Communicating with Orville via the rear-panel MIDI or direct COM ports, VSIGFILE offers an object-oriented GUI. Up to 3 minutes sample time. Fast, precise triggering lets you execute tricky drum fixes and vocal fly-ins faster and easier, and permits accurate, realtime triggering from another signal source. Timesqueeze® algorithm ensures realtime, high-quality pitch change and time-compression/expansion on playback. Record your material into the sampler and apply this feature when you need to "timesqueeze" a 35-second piece of audio into 30 seconds or stretch it to fit a music cue. Sampler can be programmed to interact with ALL of the unit's effects. Large, easy-to-read screen graphics and simple controls are mounted on a brushed stainless steel front panel on a rigid steel rackmount enclosure. It's an ideal package designed for professional working studios, as well as front-of-house and onstage performance use. Keypad, knob, and soft key controls. Menu and parameter selection are accomplished with expanded up/down/left/right keys. An all-new 4 x 9 LED array permits monitoring of any input, output, or preset entrance/exit. It also features sample rate indicators for 96, 88.2, 48, and 44.1kHz rates. An EXT digital stability indication LED completes the monitoring array. Standard PCMCIA card loaded into the front panel adds portability and additional storage of your processing and routing programs. Hands-off control of almost every Orville parameter, running the gamut from preset changes to individual wet/dry mixes. 7-pin (remotely powered) full MIDI control, and 2 external foot pedals or 6 external foot switches. With its DSP power plant, 96kHz/24-bit sampling, "anything-to-anything" multichannel routing facilities, and vast programming and control capability, Orville will let you master any signal-processing task that comes your way. Simultaneously supports up to 4 digital AND 4 analog inputs and outputs. Orville's flexible routing programmability and its A/B set of 4 DSP effects provide true multichannel operation. Signal processing in parallel, in series, or in almost any combination of the 2. Digital inputs and outputs can be operated as 4 AES/EBU or 2 AES/EBU and 2 S/PDIF at 96, 88.2, 48, or 44.1kHz or external, all with optional sample rate conversion/synchronization. Meanwhile, the 24-bit conversion analog inputs can be used with any combination of 4 XLR (10k bridging) or (guitar-friendly 150k) mono jacks.

*VSIGFILE requires Windows 3.1 or higher (including Windows NT) and at least a 486 machine, 8MB RAM, or a Power Macintosh running a suitable Windows emulator.
