Hello friends,
I come to you today because a choice arises to me and I am a lost on the usefulness of it. I did get the dark trinity there may be, and I have the opportunity to have a eventide space soon, I would like to know if it is useful to have this one knowing that on different machines, j Have reverbs already included? Is this luxury or will it be used to make tablecloths ambient as I wish?
Thank you in advance.
Space is an instrument in itself.
I don’t use it on Analog Four, cause A4 reverb is decent.
But on OT it’s quite interesting, as OT reverbs don’t do all + you might want a delay + reverb on certain tracks…
Merci, Lying Dalai ;),
I try above all to make atmosphere planant for the connection on the octatrack, it is necessary to switch to studio mode and to leave in the enventide? And for the return of the signal? Knowing that the rytm and the a4 already take the 4 inputs of the octatrack. How to do ?
Yes its useful especially if you have a half decent mixer.
I Have A Mackie 1412VLZ3, But my dark trinity no plug in is it.
You have 2 stereo outs on OT.
Use the Cue as the output to the Space, and voilà 
So I am obliged to use a mixer. Grrrr, not practical for my traveling club!
You can’t compare any of the Elektron reverbs to an Eventide.
Even though the Space is eventides base model, it is still another level altogether over the elektrons. Well worth it I would say.
I agree with you, but I do not compare the two, I just wonder if it is wise to take one, and if so how to use it on elektron.
A mixer is quite a useful tool.
First, I found that the Analog machines sound better when they don’t go through OT.
Plus you can output AR BD/BT and remove it from main comp.
You would benefit more from a mixer than a Space, IMO.
I bought the Eventide Blackhole plugin when it was on special offer for £49 down from £200. That’s only one algorithm from the Space and it’s incredible sounding, even in plugin form. As previously said, it’s an instrument in itself and can completely transform the character of whatever it’s applied to. I would buy the Space itself in hardware form, I have bad GAS for it, but I can’t really justify it as I already have a Big Sky.
H9 should be considered as well…
As one can control the parameters from e.g. OT, knobs are not THAT needed I guess.
I learned that when one has two H9, one can use the algos he payed on both units.
Very true. I have definitely considered getting the H9 Max on many occasions. I just have to somehow stop buying gear and focus on what I have, it’s tough!
I have a Mixer !
Also keep in mind having one H9 Max allows you to use all the algorithms on another H9, thus turning the cheapest H9 (Core) into an H9 Max for free.
With OT MIDI, a modulation monster.
I would absolutely love one but just do not have the funds/mental space to get it.
I absolutely love the Space. The Shimmer algorithm really is an instrument in itself, I had it on when I loaded a blank kit into the 
and I had to check that it was indeed just a GND-SIN machine because it sounded incredible. Blackhole is huge also. Actually easy to overdo if you’re too keen. But a lush sound.
The room & hall reverbs are super good too though, it’s not just for massive cavernous reverbs. They’re clean, effective, really easy to fit into a mix with the hi/lo EQ shaping.
It isn’t cheap but I don’t think you’ll get anything cheaper in hardware that works as well or sounds as good.
I’d really like to compare the shimmer on the Space to the shimmer on the Big Sky
I had both for a while and preferred the Shimmer on the BigSky. Well actually had two H9’s rather than Space but same algorithms.
Saying that preferred some algos of Eventide reverbs e.g the halls, rooms over the Big Sky’s.
50/50 I reckon. Can’t go wrong with either
Yeah I don’t think there’s much in it between those two.
Listening to demos I’ve always felt Big Sky had a much shinier glisten to it whereas the Space was a bit grittier, the latter being my preference.
But they’re both stellar.
