Eventide is proud to release the Instant Flanger Mk II plug-in \u2014 perfectly emulating the iconic sounds of the recording technology trailblazer\u2019s original Instant Flanger hardware released in 1975, and available with added creative features and functionality for use in all of the most popular DAWs.<\/p>\n
The original Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger was among the world\u2019s first pro audio effects boxes, so who better to reintroduce its innovations to today\u2019s DAW-driven production populace than Eventide\u2019s \u2018resident fossil\u2019, Tony Agnello. He begins by answering an obvious question: \u201cWhy \u2018instant\u2019? Well, the original hardware was designed to give artists the ability to \u2018instantly\u2019 create the psychedelic sound effect that otherwise required two tape machines, a bunch of cables, and a deft touch. Its introduction in 1975 ushered in the era of electronic studio effects. Tony Visconti used it to magically transform an ordinary piano into an otherworldly harpsichord on David Bowie\u2019s \u2018Ashes To Ashes\u2019. Also our innovation of adding a de-correlated output was seized upon by engineers who were seeking to create rich stereo images \u2014 case in point being Bill Wittman\u2019s brilliant use of the \u2018pseudo stereo\u2019 effect on Cyndi Lauper\u2019s \u2018Time After Time\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, Eventide\u2019s updated Instant Flanger Mk II plug-in is a more authentic recreation of the original Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger in both appearance and \u2014 all-important \u2014 sound. Creative mixing and sound design for modern music production, video game, and motion picture scores can easily be achieved by any musician or engineer using Instant Flanger Mk II. As an easy-to-use, expressive plug- in that offers new creative controls and features while retaining the magical sound and functionality of the original hardware, Instant Flanger Mk II delivers stunning results for any mix or desirable flanging track effect.<\/p>\n
