There is a Tap button for entering tempos for loops or timed delays and a memory card slot for the loading/off loading of your own effect designs. I found this feature necessary for live sound and studio use, as it allowed complete flexibility when I was using the H7600 as either a send/return or inserted effects unit.Īlso well-known to veteran Ultra-Harmonizer users are the four Soft Keys, Up/Down/Left/Right cursor keys, numeric keypad, large LCD display, parameter and setup buttons, and the large knob encoder wheel-all mainstays going back to the first H3000 units. The Bypass button offers three choices: It will connect the inputs to the outputs with a relay the "electronic" option allows the unit to pass audio without effects while maintaining any internal level trims and the third option mutes output. The front panel starts with three pairs of LED level meters that show analog input, digital input and analog output, and the current sample rate. Users of previous Ultra-Harmonizers need not worry about operating the H7600. Both User Groups and Recent Use will be well-used search criterions after owning an H7600 for a few months. User grouping allows for your favorite and most-often used effects to reside in a single list for immediate audition and quick A/Bing. You can also categorize programs in Banks of similar programs, User Groups and by Recent Use. Also listed is the highest sample rate supported (not all effects can run at 96kHz) how many inputs/outputs are used if the input is summed mono and relevant tweak descriptions and the recommended uses for the effect.

Source categories are guitars, vocals, drums, keyboards, special effects and surround.Įach program usually has several effects connected together and I liked that whenever you look up a program in the manual or load it into the unit besides it's name and brief description, the aforementioned nomenclature (R, S, D, C, etc.) indicate what individual effects went into that patch. Programs are also categorized by the source audio they were designed to effect. Program categories include name, number and the types of effects they contain, such as samplers (S the H7600 has 174 seconds of sample memory), pitch shifters (P), reverbs (R), delays (D), modulations (M), complex (C), EQ and filters (E), and dynamics (Y). You can enter a number on your keypad to load a specific program or search for it by category in a number of ways. Each program is assigned a four-digit number, where the first two digits are the bank number and the second two are the program's number.
With so many programs, finding and loading what you want would be a daunting exercise without an extensive search feature. A nonvolatile memory can hold up to about 50 user-contrived programs, and there is space for hundreds more on the supplied Compact Memory card. Program files run from 1 to 24 KB in size. Using the front panel or the included VSIG (Windows) or VSIG-X (Mac OS X) software, you can easily edit programs or create your own unique effects from scratch. The included preset collection lists 85 banks of programs with titles such as Dual Machines, Front of House, Film, Atmosphere, Pitchtime, Reverbs (nine banks), Shifters (four banks), Vintage Gear and PX, as well as 15 banks of effects for film/TV, theme park and industrial/commercial use. Just as in the DSP 4000, each program has its own evocative and descriptive name, as well as its own unique algorithm made up of these blocks and the myriad ways they are interconnected. The H7600's staggering power comes from the 230 effect building blocks or modules used to create the unit's nearly 1,100 factory presets or programs. It has a faster clock and a new operating system that includes a search engine to quickly locate any sonic treatment for your mix. This stereo, single-processor version of the H8000FW is the progeny of the H3000, DSP 4000 and DSP 7000 systems, but the H7600 has more processing power and better performance. This is the "ultimate" Ultra, no matter how you measure it.
