The Eventide Orville is a multi-processor effects system designed with extensive connectivity and flexible internal architecture. It provides four analogue inputs, four analogue outputs, four digital inputs and four digital outputs, all of which can operate simultaneously. Signal routing between these connections is fully configurable, allowing any input to be directed to any output without restriction.
At the core of the Eventide Orville are two independent processing engines, identified as DSP A and DSP B. Each processor offers four inputs and four outputs, enabling complex signal flow arrangements. The two DSPs may be configured in parallel, in series, or in customised routing structures, providing a high degree of operational flexibility.
A wide range of processing algorithms is available across the dual DSP architecture. These include reverbs, choruses, flanging effects, delays, pitch shifting, dynamics processing, equalisation, filtering, distortion, synthesis functions, sampling and ring modulation. The breadth of available programmes allows the Eventide Orville to address diverse production and sound design requirements.
Time-based and frequency-dependent parameters such as delays and LFOs can synchronise to a global system tempo, simplifying integration within tempo-based projects. In addition to the 40 seconds of delay time available on both DSP A and DSP B, DSP A also provides nearly three minutes of sampling time.
For users wishing to create original processing structures, the Eventide Orville continues the modular programming approach associated with the Eventide DSP4000. Programmes are constructed from individual processing modules, enabling custom signal chains to be built from discrete functional blocks. This structure supports detailed editing and the development of bespoke effects configurations.
