6/8/2011 - Preset naming and output level control added to TimeFactor, ModFactor, and PitchFactor
In repsonse to requests by customers the world over, Eventide today announced the widely anticipated production release of V3 software for TimeFactor, ModFactor and PitchFactor stompboxes. Effective immediately, all new units shipped from Eventide will have V3 resident. TimeFactor, ModFactor, and PitchFactor users are emphatically recommended to upgrade to V3. Two significant features have beenadded to all three stompboxes; the ability to name presets and output level control. With a range of from -20dB to +4dB in 1dB increments, preset output levels can now be set to facilitate seamless gain matching. Additional MIDI control refinements have also been added.
In addition, added to the ModFactor is a new Bass Wah algorithm, specially optimized for bass, bringing the number of effects to 30. The Vocal Wah effect now allows you to modulate between two vowels instead of only modulating one vowel. This new feature offers lots of new sound possibilities. Lastly, the Classic Chorus and Liquid Chorus algorithms now have enhanced stereo imaging. Registered users can download the update directly to their ModFactor here: http://bit.ly/gFeYtP

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.
