Not surprisingly, artists found creative ways to use the glitch, and, in fact, years later when the H949 was introduced with advanced de-glitching circuitry, some users were disappointed that the glitch was gone. The original H910вЂ™s unique pitch change method introduced random вЂglitchesвЂ™ into the audio and the word вЂglitchвЂ™ into the audio engineerвЂ™s vocabulary.

Stereo (cross-unit) Feedback can cause the incoming signal to shift up and then down continuously.

Easily fattens and thickens instruments when assigning opposite pitch ratios.

Recreates two H910 units running in parallel to create doubling effects and other unique sounds.

Mix Lock allows for scrolling through presets or settings while keeping the dry/wet mix constant.

Individually control delay outputs and dry/wet mix.

Self-oscillation - create colorful, unique sound effects and drones.

Delay rhythms and melodies to create everything from slap-back echoes to feedback chaos.

Modify pitch by musical intervals (diatonic) to harmonize vocals or solo instruments.

Optional вЂњglitchingвЂќ of original H910 hardware to create unpredictable sounds as it alters pitch.

Anti-Feedback modulates the pitch around unity for a subtle or wild effect.

Perform perfect pitch changes, controlled manually via MIDI or with Anti-Feedback.

True analog modeling of highly nonlinear electronics for faithful reproduction of the original H910вЂ™s juicyness and grit.

OUT2 Delay Group adds inspiring attributes to your sound.

The built-in envelope follower makes exploring these possibilities easy.

Envelope Follower - Engineers and producers discovered that sending a control voltage to the hardware H910 could be used to slightly (or massively) vary the pitch, creating entirely new sounds.

With the H910 plug-in you can easily use MIDI to control pitch and harmonization in real-time.

Keyboard and MIDI mapping - The original H910 featured a keyboard remote control which was used live by several artists including Elton John.

Practically every song on this record uses Harmonizer feedback. вЂњOne of my personal favorite examples of Harmonizer (ab)use is вЂњDuck StabвЂќ by The Residents. The resulting revenue was both a surprise and a boon to our small company. Broadcasters nationwide soon discovered that the Harmonizer could be used to lower their pitches to normal while playing the tape a few percent faster and they realized that, for todayвЂ™s equivalent of $10,000, they could run three more minutes of commercials each and every night without subjecting their viewers to cartoonish screeching. Watching Lucy dash around a bit faster wasnвЂ™t particularly off-putting, but the raised pitch of her voice (and EthelвЂ™s) was a problem.

In the early вЂ70s, the FCC loosened restrictions on how many minutes of commercial time could be aired during a half-hour TV show, and old episodes of shows like I Love LucyВ were sped up to free up time for extra ads. It seems that mankind has quite the propensity for using every technological advance, every truly new вЂtoolвЂ™, in ways beneficial, detrimental and banal.
