I have always felt that most flanging processors don't quite match the original tape-machine-created effect, but Instant Flanger does it for me.
SOS reviewed this bundle back in September 2003 ( sep03/articles/clockworks.htm) so I am going to skip past these processors other than to reaffirm that Instant Flanger is still one of the best flanging effects around. Eventide have resisted the temptation to 'update' them, other than to add some MIDI control and automation of course, preferring to reproduce them warts and all as software plug-ins. This bundle consists of precise software models of the Eventide hardware favourites from the 1970s - the Instant Phaser, Instant Flanger, Omnipressor, H910 and H949 Harmonizers. The result is a suite of processors and effects that brings together 'retro' and contemporary sounds not only within one bundle, but also in some cases within individual plug-ins. Since they launched the Clockworks Legacy bundle three years ago, Eventide have been adding to their range of TDM plug-ins, and the new Anthology II package combines that original suite of effects with the more recent Anthology and several even newer products. Eventide's range of high-quality Pro Tools plug-ins continues to grow, and the new Anthology II bundle collects together no fewer than 15 separate effects and processors.
