Eventide has announced that version 5.2 software for its TEC award-nominated digital processor, the H8000FW, will be available in October. This new version is designed to give both engineers and artists additional tools for sound creation and adds over 100 new programs. The addition of seven new modules brings the total number of effects modules available to a whopping 249. With Eventide’s exclusive Building Block Architecture, users can create their own unique preset-algorithms. The H8000FW also includes PC and OS X graphic preset development tools. Eventide offers an exclusive upgrade program for existing owners of the H8000, H8000A, or Orville. Scheduled for release by the end of October 2006, version 5.2 pushes the number of programs included in the H8000FW to 1,800. For registered H8000FW owners, the upgrade is a free download. It’s also available on a flash memory card from Eventide for just $99.
