The slightly more useful feature for creating unique effects is the ribbon controller, which allows any selection of parameters to be swept smothly and simultaneously from one setting to another.

The hotswitch probably makes more sense on the Space than it does in virtual form in a plugin, but the function does make automation of multiple parameters slightly easier, allowing you to switch instantly from one patch to another. The presets alone provide a range of distinctive options, but the most interesting effects come from the ribbon controller and the hotswitch (which is similar to that found on the Space pedal). The pre-delay setting can be synced to the host DAW’s tempo – which is great news for setting up delays which match beats perfectly – while the freeze switch and infinite feedback setting allow the feedback loop to be locked, creating long, morphing textures. With your basic setting dialled in, two EQ controls and a simple LFO modulation option allow the sound to be tweaked a little further. There’s no doubt that this is a top quality algorithm from one of the most highly revered manufacturers of DSP hardware. Compared side by side with similar patches on the £400 Space pedal, Blackhole sounds practically identical. Overall, the sound is every bit as rich, detailed and expensive-sounding as Eventide’s reputation would suggest. It’s not clear exactly how it works but it can create some great sounds. Even the Size parameter can be set to negative values. Turning anti-clockwise past the 12 o’clock setting, negative Gravity values can be dialed in, creating reverse reverb. Rather than the traditional decay setting, Blackhole offers a Gravity parameter. Some of the controls may be unusual, but you’ll have no problem picking them up within five minutes, even without resorting to the manual.

The plugin is available in Mac or PC VST, AU and AAX formats and, after a trouble-free installation, the sound options are easy to get the hang of. Instead, Blackhole is all about creative applications of reverb, focusing on “huge spaces and out-of-this-world soundscapes”. If you’re looking for subtle echo effects and realistic emulations of acoustic spaces, this probably isn’t the product for you. Let’s make it clear from the start that Blackhole isn’t a typical reverb plugin. The new native Blackhole plugin is based on an algorithm first found in the DSP4000 multi-effect launched in 1999 and resurrected in last year’s excellent Space reverb pedal. We find out what this unique plugin has to offer dance music producers.Īs manufacturers of the legendary Hamonizer effect units, Eventide were instrumental in the development of digital effect hardware from the late 1970s onwards. Many of the presets in 'Extraordinary Spaces' have detail control already setup and ready for automation.Blackhole takes a creative approach to reverb. We are then automating the FX send for further dramatic control of the fX. We are simply using our mouse to make the changes. These presets have been programmed to allow the ribbon to control many of the parameters in Blackhole. The presets being used are, 'Extraordinary Spaces'.

This video guide will show you how to automate Eventide Blackhole in Cubase. The tone, modulation, feedback, delays of each presets are setup to flow with each instrument and quickly be controlled by the ribbon with your mouse or keyboard controller.Įxtensive tempo controls are also included for some very interesting syncopated effects, including delays, reverbs, modulations and more.

These presets are already meticulously programed to use the ribbon controls to achieve some very complex production techniques easily. The ribbon control function is demonstrated and automated on the reverbs, delays and modulation FX. Several instances of Blackhole reverb are used in this mix, all are automated. The presets are from 'Extraordinary Spaces' Vol.3.
