Eventide Crystals Harmonizer® combines twin reverse pitch shifters with reverse delays and reverb. This iconic H3000 effect can be used to create out-of-this-world climbing and cascading pitched delays or to create unique sounding reverbs. It features two reverse granular delays that can be manipulated by length and pitch. Crystals excels at adding life to boring synths, guitar, and vocals making them sound huge and majestic. From sound design to other-worldly solos, Crystals will spark inspiration. The innovative RIBBON control allows you to modulate many parameters at once. Manipulate the pitches to play it like an instrument or slowly increase feedback to make your signal explode into infinity. Need some extra gusto? Hold down the FLEX button to shift one octave up from the current pitch. Features: - Two pitch-shifters, each with a four-octave range from two octaves down to two octaves up. - Two independently adjustable delays, up to 4 seconds each, with their own individual feedback. - Reverb with 100 seconds of decay. - Make it musical by micro-pitching each voice around the 4th (500 cents), 5th (700 cents), or octave (1200 cents). - Smooth out delay grains by applying up to 4 seconds of delay for each voice. - RIBBON lets you ‘play’ the effect in real-time and provides dynamic and fluid control to morph back and forth between the settings of your choice. - FLEX shifts both voices up one octave at the push of a button. - MIXLOCK keeps MIX control constant as you audition presets. - Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in and Standalone App.

The MF-102S Ring Modulator is a re-invention of Moog Music’s classic Moogerfooger MF-102 analog effects pedal. The MF-102 Ring Modulator, introduced in 1998, contained three complete modular functions: a Ring Modulator, a voltage-controlled Carrier Oscillator, and a voltage-controlled dual-waveform Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Designed by Bob Moog and his engineering team, the MF-102 was a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers, adapted to process, modulate, and play with inputs ranging from guitar, voice, and synthesizer to any imaginable audio source. The MF-102 Ring Modulator has been meticulously recreated as the MF-102S, capturing not only the spaced-out, retro-futuristic sound of the original, but also the organic way in which the parameters interact to create a musical playing experience. The MF-102S is an AUv3 effects plug-in that requires a compatible host or DAW to function.
