Eventide announced today v3.5 software upgrade for its best-selling Eclipse digital multi-effects processor. The upgrade, free for registered users, via download is available from eventide.com. The new upgrade accelerates the operating system, dramatically decreases MIDI latency, improves system control responsiveness, doubles the number of parameters that can be controlled at one time, thus enabling more intuitive, expressive operation of the Eclipse for live and studio applications.

In addition, Eclipse v3.5 supports the new E-Control RTAS control plug-in which provides preset change and parameter control automation from within Pro Tools, as well as the ability to save all settings with the session file. Driven by end-user input, the newest iteration also provides remote control for A/B machine bypass, effectively allowing users to bypass each effect separately via MIDI or assignable foot switches.

“Long recognized as a must-have for serious music production professionals, the Eclipse is the standard for artists, engineers and producers who seek unique and expressive effects,” explained Ray Maxwell, Eventide vice president of sales and marketing. “With today’s upgrade we’re making the Eclipse even more articulate and lyrical.”
