Because Soundtoys’ founders actually designed algorithms for the original H3000, you can be sure Soundtoys didn’t rest until they’d recreated its icy tones flawlessly. One of the key elements of the Crystallizer sound is its old-school pitch shifting. Modern pitch shifters (like Little AlterBoy for example) use sophisticated mathematical algorithms to transform music and vocals as naturally as possible. The original old-school devices (like Eventide’s classic H910 Harmonizer) used a simpler resample and crossfade technique that introduced audible artefacts in the pitch-shifted audio. This retro technique adds a glitchy character to the sound that is an essential part of Crystallizer’s 80s-futuristic charm.

Does “granular echo synthesizer” sound a bit hard to get your head around? Don’t worry. Soundtoys included over 200 ready-made presets that you can explore, organized into categories that make finding the perfect starting point for your tracks simple. Soundtoys included everything from the subtle to the all-out psychedelic, so don’t be afraid to experiment! When you’re ready to go deeper, you’ll find plenty of tweakability and control for making your own signature presets.

Once Soundtoys nailed the sound of the original effect, they didn’t stop there. Soundtoys put their heads together to improve it. MIDI sync and automation were added to give you precise creative control. A built-in Gate and Duck feature adds a new level of dynamic control over triggering echos, helping you keep this sometimes wild effect in check. You can also shape the sound with low- and high-cut filters to create bright shimmery blooms or dark, rich beds of sound. In short, Soundtoys brought a classic effect up to date with all the convenience and tweakability of a Soundtoys plugin.
