FREE UPGRADE TO ANTHOLOGY II EXTENDED: EVENTIDE’S COMPREHENSIVE TDM PLUG-INS BUNDLE

LITTLE FERRY, NEW JERSEY, February 15, 2006 — Eventide today announced the extension of its Anthology II free upgrade program for any purchaser of Anthology from December 15 through February 28, 2006. Anthology II features fifteen plug-ins, giving artists and engineers unprecedented production capabilities in one package.

“Anthology II builds on the foundation of the original Anthology bundle and adds six new, powerful plug-ins,” said Ray Maxwell, Eventide vice president of sales and marketing. “Anthology II features a pair of 48-bit double precision vintage equalizers, EQ45 and EQ65, a pair of configurable channel strips, Ultra-Channel? and E-Channel?, Quadravox?, and Precision Time Align?. Anthology II includes everything you need to do your next project in one affordable package.”

Ultra-Channel and E-Channel introduce the useful feature of configurability which gives the user the freedom to configure the strip’s signal path. Place the gate after the filter or the filter before the compressor or place the signal processing elements in whatever order works best for the task at hand. Ultra-Channel is a precision, configurable channel strip that features a gate, de-esser, Omnipressor® compressor/limiter with side chain, five bands of 48-bit double precision parametric equalization, stereo delays, and the Harmonizer® micropitch shifter. E-Channel? is optimized for multiple instances and includes a gate, compressor/limiter with side chain, and five bands of 48-bit double precision parametric equalization.

EQ65 Filter Set faithfully recreates the sound and function of the vintage analog filter set and is ideal for fixing problematic tracks and for creative tonal modifications. Included in EQ65 are high and low cut 18dB/octave filters, and two-band reject or band pass filters with variable depth. Equalizing capabilities are expanded with EQ45 Parametric Equalizer, a precise replica of the vintage analog parametric equalizer. EQ45 includes high and low cut 12dB/octave filters, plus four full bands of EQ with continuously variable bandwidth, frequency, boost and cut.

Track and microphone phase alignment is made easier with the new Precision Time Align? plug-in. With precise positive or negative time alignment of each individual track, Precision Time Align is indispensable for bringing close-miked drums, overhead mics, and room mics into phase alignment.

Offering a higher instance count than Octavox?, Quadravox? features four voices of diatonic Harmonizer pitch shifting. Each voice has an individual delay adjustment and pan controls, giving users greater precision when crafting an effect.

Anthology II also features the original nine plug-ins from Anthology: the H910, H949, Instant Phaser?, Instant Flanger?, Omnipressor®, Eventide Reverb, Octavox?, H3000 Band Delays?, and H3000 Factory?. Like Anthology, Anthology II is compliant with Pro Tools 7 and is compatible with Mac and PC.

Eventide is offering upgrade programs for loyal Eventide plug-in users.
Anyone who purchases Anthology before February 28, 2006 will receive a free upgrade to Anthology II. Purchasers of Anthology prior to December 15, 2005 may upgrade for $299. Clockworks Legacy? owners may upgrade for $499. MassivePack, Octavox, Eventide Reverb or H3000 Band Delay owners may upgrade to Anthology II for $799.
