eventide harpeggiator
from pitchfactor and h9
It is time to tip the hat to the pioneers
of guitar transformation: Eventide. The
HarPeggiator is an insane algorithm that
employs two pitch shifters, two rhythm
generators and two special effects units.
The special effects include five filters, five
fuzzes and five glitch effects. As if that
wasn’t mind bending enough, the two
arpeggio sequencers allow 16 steps of
insane rhythmic and tonal possibilities. I
could write a feature on the spec of this
algorithm alone, but personally, I like to
just chaotically turn knobs until something
pulses me into a musical-mechanical,
transcendental state.

add any extraneous effects that could
potentially obscure the rhythmic pulses
this thing generates, but when I do, it is
all about the Malekko B:Assmaster with its
extreme gating and blatty octave squidge.
These are the perfect pair of pedals for
otherworldly mechanoid menace—highly
recommended for those in a riff writing rut.
With HarPeggiator, I can plug straight into
an interface and hardpan the stereo inputs
for a universe of 3D sound without
