Eventide Audio has announced immersive audio versions of its Blackhole Immersive and Micropitch Immersive plug-ins, designed from the ground up for surround and immersive workflows, including Dolby Atmos.
Blackhole Immersive expands the signature sound of the stereo version of Eventide’s ‘otherworldly reverb’ across an entire immersive mix, while the MicroPitch panned pitch and delay employs strategically decorrelated sound pushed into three dimensions.
The intuitive interface of Eventide Immersive plug-ins is designed to fit into production, whether the project is mixing music, postproduction for film or sound design for games. With Blackhole Immersive, the enhanced workflow gives full control over the reverb across channels, for an evolving immersive experience from subtle to radical. MicroPitch Immersive users can spread, tilt and dynamically morph the effect across the width, depth and height of an immersive mix. With both plug-ins, the Front, Top and Rear loudspeakers can be EQ’d separately, and users can smoothly morph between two distinct settings.
Blackhole Immersive’s Gravity, Size and Feedback parameters allow quick and easy tailoring of the reverb to an immersive space while the crossfeed control lets users blend the reverb between speakers; a mono source can become truly immersive with one simple gesture.
With up to 12 channels of spatialised, detuned delays, plus modulation, EQ and crossfeed controls, MicroPitch Immersive excels in creating both real and unreal immersive realities with boundaries that reflect, move, diffuse and dissolve. Tilting the Left/Right, Front/Back and Top/Main Detune parameters allow asymmetrical detuning and space fine tuning. The plug-in’s enhanced delay and modulation capability can be used to create slapbacks, add movement with pitch modulation, or create exciting motion with patterned Loop Delay.
Both plug-ins feature an easy-to-use UI optimised for immersive workflows with identical core controls for all channel layouts. The plug-ins’ signal processing delivers the same sonic effect across all immersive formats and maintain incoming spatial image integrity. Individual speaker levels can be quickly set using the integrated Levels control section whether mixing in the supported LCR, Quadraphonic, 5.0 - 5.1.4, and 7.0 - 7.1.4 channel layouts.
Kill Dry, Kill Wet and Freeze controls allow the creation of drastic effects, while the Mix Lock function allows for scrolling through presets or settings while keeping the wet/dry mix constant. The intuitive, resizable GUI offers Undo/Redo and A/B comparison. Both the plug-ins come with comprehensive presets libraries.
Both plug-ins are available for immediate download at an MSRP of US$499 each.
