The Eventide Omnipressor® 2830Au is a 50th Anniversary Reissue of the original dynamics effects processor introduced in the early 1970s. Renowned for its groundbreaking features like 'Dynamic Reversal' and 'Function Control,' this unit offers a wide range of dynamic modification options. With its variable controls and unique attributes, the Omnipressor is a versatile tool for both studio and live sound applications.
The Eventide Omnipressor® 2830Au marks the 50th Anniversary of a revolutionary product that changed the landscape of dynamic processing. Originally invented by Eventide’s founder, Richard Factor, and later redesigned by Jon Paul, the Omnipressor introduced techniques and features that have become industry standards. This reissue brings those classic capabilities back, offering a host of dynamic effects with modern reliability.
The Omnipressor was the first dynamics effects processor of its kind, offering variable control of all aspects of dynamic modification. It introduced the concept of the 'side chain' and 'look ahead' processing, setting the stage for future advancements in dynamic effects. This reissue maintains those pioneering features while incorporating modern enhancements for today's applications.
One of the standout features of the Omnipressor is its 'Dynamic Reversal.' This unique attribute allows soft signals to come out loud and loud signals to come out quiet, simulating tape reversal. It offers a unique sonic texture that is unparalleled in the world of compression and expansion.
The 'Function Control' sets a ratio over a continuous range, allowing for extreme expansion to infinite compression. It can even push further into dynamic reversal, offering a broad spectrum of dynamic effects. This feature provides musicians and sound engineers with a versatile tool for creative expression.
The Omnipressor offers variable control of attack and release time, maximum gain, and maximum attenuation. These controls allow for precise manipulation of the unit's features, making it adaptable to a wide range of audio applications.
The unit comes equipped with a 'Side Chain' that allows its level detection to be driven by another audio source. It also offers 'Gating,' 'Expansion,' 'Compression,' 'Infinite Compression,' and 'Limiting,' each with its unique set of controls. These advanced features make the Omnipressor a comprehensive solution for all your dynamic processing needs.
