This included many algorithms from classic Eventide hardware units like the H8000 and H3000, which were cleverly repackaged into 17 different plug-ins. As the computing world evolved, the desire for TDM plug-ins waned, and in late 2015 they made the jump to the native VST / AU format with Anthology X. Over the next three years they continued to add new TDM plug-ins to the suite, rebranding it as the more impressive-sounding Anthology bundle. Back in 2003, they released Clockworks Legacy, their first ever TDM plug-in bundle, which included the H910 and H949 Harmonizers, a sophisticated compressor called Omnipresso and the classic Instant Phaser and Instant Flanger units. When it comes to software, Eventide first embraced the Pro Tools TDM format. The innovation continues today with high-end units like the mammoth H8000FW rack effects processor, which remains one of the most lust-worthy hardware units on the market 12 years after it was first introduced.

Many of their most well-received effects were developed back in the days when RAM had just been invented, so it's no exaggeration to say that Eventide was a pioneer in digital audio effects. They also covered utilitarian applications like correcting the pitch of TV shows that had been sped up to allow more time for commercials.

Going back all the way to the '70s, their Instant Phaser and H910 Harmonizer generated groundbreaking sounds on albums like David Bowie's Low.
