IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Before powering up the unit, check that the voltage selector on the back panel is set correctly.
Do not remove any covers or panels from the unit when the power is connected.
No operator access to the internals of the unit is permitted - servicing must be performed by qualified personnel only.
The unit must not be operated with a damaged or ungrounded power cord.
Suitable ventilation must be provided for the unit at all times. In particular, the rear and side vents must not be obstructed. It is best if there is an inch or more clearance between the top of the H8000FW and the bottom of the units above and below.
How to Use This Manual
This manual applies to the Eventide H8000FW. For convenience, this and other members of the H8000FW family may be referred to as H8000FW except where the H8000 differs from the H8000FW. Most of the information in this manual also applies to H8000 and H8000A when running software version 5.2 or later.
The first and second chapters of this manual are the most important ones. The first is the Overview and Quickstart section. In it you will find essential information regarding the front panel, the back panel, and the general structure of the H8000FW. After these preliminaries are out of the way, you’ll start using the H8000FW and learning the basic methodologies that you will employ whenever you use the H8000FW.
The Overview and Quickstart section is not meant to be complete. It’s meant to get you up and running fast, circumventing thornier issues in favor of speed. If you would like to know more about a particular topic discussed in this chapter, look to the abundant references contained therein. They’ll point you to "chunkier" discussions in the remainder of the manual.
Ideally, we would have you read through the Overview and Quickstart section with the H8000FW in front of you, following the examples. After you finish the Quickstart section, we’d have you play with the H8000FW for a while. Once the initial "new box euphoria" wears off a bit, we’d have you sit down and read the Operation section. A true appreciation and mastery of the H8000FW cannot be obtained without reading the manual! We’d have you consult the appendices only when you need specific, technical
information. Finally, when you need to find information days, weeks, months, and years down the road, we’d have you use the comprehensive Table of Contents and Index.
In particular, a good understanding of The Comprehensive Input / Output Scheme on page 49 and Program Load, Save, Delete, Etc. on page 115 and beyond are necessary to get the best from the H8000FW. In order to use MIDI Program Change messages it is necessary to understand as described on page 118.
For information about using the H8000FW with a PC or Mac see Using the H8000FW with a computer.

The Big Picture
The Eventide H8000FW is a programmable, multi-channel, multipurpose, 96kHz-capable, dual or monolithic digital signal processor (DSP), 24 bit digital audio signal processor with UltraShifter capability. That’s a lot of adjectives! It is the successor to a long, proud line of digital signal processors that stretches back to a time when most audio manufacturers didn’t know digital audio from Morse code.
The H8000FW is loaded with features that put it in a class by itself. It has 12 AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs, eight ADAT digital inputs and outputs, two S/P DIF digital inputs and outputs, and four analog inputs and outputs, as well as 16 channels or FireWire for connection to a PC or Mac and very comprehensive routing capabilities for controlling them. The H8000FW houses two independent signal processors, each having eight inputs and eight outputs (imaginatively dubbed "DSP A" and "DSP B"). The two processors can be run in parallel, in series, or in any mutant variation thereof. In addition, the H8000FW can run "monolithic programs" that use the processing resources of both DSP A and B to run just one large program.
The variety and depth of the programs that the H8000FW possesses are truly amazing, from lush reverbs, to choruses, to flanges, to delays, to pitch shifters, to dynamics, to EQs, to filters, to distortions, to synthesizers, to samplers, to ring modulators, and everything in-between. The H8000FW can do it all. And if that’s not enough, DSP A boasts nearly three minutes of sample time in addition to the 44 seconds of delay time found on both DSP A and DSP B!
And for the user who is interested in making his or her own programs (if the huge number of factory programs aren’t enough!), the H8000FW continues the "modular programming paradigm" that made the DSP4000 and its offspring famous. Programs are composed of individual building blocks, or "modules," that allow the user to create original programs.
Inspiration and creativity are given no bounds. . .
As you read this manual, it may be easy to "lose sight of the forest for the trees." Always bear in mind the following:
