Looking for an H8000 remote solution? This software H8000 remote mirrors your Eventide H8000/H8000FW LCD screen and enables full control via Serial (fastest) or MIDI SysEx. Whether your screen is dim, dead, or just hard to reach, this H8000 remote lets you operate the unit across the room. It’s the perfect replacement for the discontinued EVE/NET hardware remote, with experimental support for H7600, Orville, and DSP4000 via MIDI or Serial.
Key Features of This H8000 Remote
- LCD mirroring in a resizable window (click the LCD to “press” on-screen items)
- Serial or MIDI support: Serial refresh is snappier; MIDI is universal
- Broken-screen replacement: fully operate a unit with an unreadable front panel LCD
- EVE/NET alternative: replaces the discontinued hardware remote at a fraction of the cost
Why You Need an H8000 Remote
The EVE/NET hardware remote was discontinued years ago and now sells for $1200-2000+ when available on Reverb or eBay. Many H8000FW units don’t even have the EVE/NET port. Meanwhile, users on Gearspace and the Eventide forums have been asking for a software-based H8000 remote for years.
Eventide’s H8000 Routing Utility is great for I/O configuration, but it isn’t a full remote controller. This tool fills that gap, giving you complete control and LCD visualization from your computer.
FAQ
Will this H8000 remote replace a dead LCD?
Functionally, yes. You can operate the unit via mirrored display and soft keys even if the front-panel screen is completely unreadable. This is much cheaper than a hardware display replacement
Is this an EVE/NET replacement?
It’s a software alternative. EVE/NET was a dedicated hardware remote for H8000/H7600/Orville; this gives you a modern software-based option without the hardware expense or scarcity issues.
Why is Serial faster than MIDI for the screen?
The LCD bitmap is large; MIDI SysEx is bandwidth-limited. Serial has higher throughput, so refresh looks/feels snappier.
Does Eventide offer a full software H8000 remote?
No. They provide a routing utility (for I/O) only. This app is a full on-screen control + LCD mirror, developed by Analog Dessert to solve this exact gap in Eventide’s software ecosystem.
