But the Omnipressor 2830AU isn't just versatile, it's also unique. Sporting unconventional dynamics functions like the dynamic reversal, the first of its kind, it reverses transient peaks and troughs to produce a simulated tape reversal sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n   \u003cp\u003eThe original 1976 Omnipressor was the first processor to introduce the concept of side-chaining, and the reissue is no different, sporting both transformer-balanced XLR and unbalanced 1\/4\" side-chain I\/O, as well as line I\/O and link connections for optional stereo processing. The meter sports a three-way switch for selecting between input, output, or gain monitoring. Mix control lets you engage in parallel compression, and you also get a relay-bypass switch, input and output level control, gain, attenuation, threshold control, and much more. And once linked, you can operate in three modes: Stereo Mode for typical stereo dynamics processing, Master Mode for controlling a chain of units with one master unit, and VCA Mode for transforming your Omnipressor into a high-quality voltage-controlled amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       A Piece of History\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Originally invented by Eventide?s founder, Richard Factor (and later redesigned for production by Jon Paul), the 1976 Omnipressor made a host of effects possible. It featured variable control of all aspects of dynamic modification.\n       \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eIt also introduced the notion of the side-chain and foretold techniques that today we take for granted like lookahead processing. One of its first customers was a young Brian May, lead guitarist of Queen. With the Omnipressor in his rig, his sound was never the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Dynamics Reversal\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       One of the novel features of the Omnipressor is its ability to make signals sound backward. This is a consequence of the Dynamic Reversal feature, which enables loud sounds to come out more softly than soft sounds. Speech waveforms, for instance, generally consist of loud peaks followed by trailing-off envelopes.\n       \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eBy making these envelopes louder than the peaks, the illusion that the sound is coming out backward is generated. Likewise, drum sounds consist of peaks roughly coincident with mechanical impact, followed by a decay envelope. In general. any material with wide dynamic range can be reversed, and by experimenting with forward and reversal playback, you can achieve an incredible array of effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Dynamics Processing Functions\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Fully counterclockwise, the Omnipressor gain varies sharply from full attenuation to maximum gain as a threshold level is exceeded.
