UltraChannel™ is a versatile and high-precision channel strip plugin designed for professional audio engineering. It combines several legendary Eventide effects into one comprehensive tool, making it suitable for mixing and mastering tasks across various genres. With its industry-leading performance and exclusive FlexiPath™ routing feature, UltraChannel offers unparalleled versatility and customization options to bring your tracks and mixes to life.
One of the key strengths of UltraChannel is its ability to carve out space for each instrument or vocal in your mix, ensuring a balanced and cohesive sound. With a wide range of tone, dynamics, and frequency shaping tools, you can achieve the precise characteristics you're aiming for. The plugin supports side-chaining, allowing you to color the characteristics of your main signal using an alternative audio source. Additionally, UltraChannel incorporates micro pitch functionality from Eventide's flagship H8000 hardware, enabling you to thicken or widen the stereo spread of any instrument or vocal.
Here are some notable features of UltraChannel:
-
FlexiPath™: This unique feature enables you to reorder the signal path of the top-level components (O-Pressor, compressor/de-esser, EQ, and gate) using a drag-and-drop interface. It offers ultimate flexibility and experimentation in signal processing.
-
Soft-Saturation and Transformer Emulation: The output module of UltraChannel includes a model of an analog transformer that can be driven into saturation. This feature adds distinction and character, especially to signals with low-frequency content.
-
O-Pressor: UltraChannel includes two built-in compressors, one with de-essing and side-chaining capabilities, and the other being the unique O-Pressor. Derived from the classic Omnipressor, the O-Pressor provides extreme compression and adds a distinct character to your audio.
-
5-band Parametric EQ: UltraChannel offers a comprehensive 5-band parametric EQ that covers the entire audio spectrum. Each band allows you to adjust the frequency, gain, and Q parameters, giving you precise control over the sound shaping process.
-
Over 200 Presets: The plugin comes with a wide range of factory presets, including presets created by Eventide artists. These presets are tailored to various signal sources such as guitar, bass, kick drum, snare, piano, strings, synths, and vocals. They provide a quick and easy way to harness the processing power of UltraChannel.
-
Patented Pitch Shifting: UltraChannel incorporates Eventide's patented pitch shifting technology, allowing you to apply pitch shifting to any source. You can control the panning and delay spread of the pitch-shifted signal, and even feed it back into other modules within the plugin.
With its extensive feature set and intuitive interface, UltraChannel is a powerful tool for audio engineers, offering precise control, creative possibilities, and a wide range of sonic capabilities.
