Eventide about the v3 upgrade

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, January 13, 2011 — Responding to requests from customers the world over, Eventide today announced the posting of V3 software for TimeFactor, ModFactor and PitchFactor stompboxes for public beta. Two significant features have been added to all three stompboxes: the ability to name presets, and the ability to adjust the output level from -20dB to +4dB in 1dB increments on each preset in order to facilitate seamless gain matching. Additional MIDI control refinements have also been added.

Additional improvements to PitchFactor include faster responsiveness to Expression Pedal control on PitchFlex. The delay time in MicroPitch has been increased from 1500ms to 2 seconds of stereo delay time. Lastly, in addition to sine, triangle, and sawtooth, Synthonizer Xnob now offers two new waveshape choices: Organ1 and Organ2. Selecting either of these and varying the pitch results in a wide variety of new synthesizer sounds, ranging from low nasty grit to cyber tin whistle.
