About This Product

Thank you for your purchase of the Eventide H949 Harmonizer® plug-in. The prod-
uct recreated in this plug-in was among the first introduced by Eventide, and among
the world’s first commercially available professional recording products. For over 40
years, innovative products like these have made Eventide an industry leader, and we
are extremely proud that they continue to be in demand today. This package includes
a stunning recreation of the H949 Harmonizer®, as well as a Dual H949 version, which
recreates the popular technique of running two H949 units in parallel to create lush
doubling and other interesting effects.

We’ll get into more depth on the product soon but, before you forget, please take a few
minutes to register online. This helps us keep you informed of any important software
updates, and any special offers that may only be available to registered users.
