Eclipse/ DSP 4000/7000 vocal Question

TAXS · 3 Weeks Ago

I know that the The H line is consider to be the harmonizer line for vocal FX.
And specific effects for (backing)vocals (manly pop/RnB/rap) like:
exciters, widers, thickers, panners, stereo panners and Pitch shifters stuff.

But does the Eclipse also have these kinda typical specific vocal FX, altough it is consider more to be a guitar unit?

Does the eclipse also have: Vocal FX like: widers,exciters,thickers, panners, shifters & doubler kinda effects to give a palet of vocal options?

And the DSP 4000(+) or & 7000? Would they have more vocal specific FX than the Eclipse?

Like to know.

All great units, but if you can spring for an Orville, and they arent much used these days, go for it.

I sold my Eclipse a few years ago so things might have changed with new firmware...

The Eclipse does not have the Ultrashifter algs. It does diatonic pitchshift but has not formant correction so you get the Mickey Mouse effect as you pitch up.

I was very annoyed at the time as I assumed that Eventide Harmonizers were the best and that this feature would be standard. I spoke to Eventide back then and they said that while engineers had tried, it wasn't possible to squeeze it in. I found this odd as I think the DSP4000 had it and apparently the Eclipse was supposed to have a fair bit more processing power.

I used to have an eclipse, and I basically liked a few reverb patches for drums
