How is the subtle pitch-shifting?  In league with Eventide hardware?

This would be my interest as well. An H3000 for a hundred bucks, that would be a deal indeed.

It has been quite a while since I've used Eventide hardware, but from memory I'd say that Excalibur is in the same league as the old hardware in terms of sound quality. There is one preset, can't recall the name, that does that modulated pitch shift chorus absolutely beautifully. Stunning really.

There are some great plug-ins out there, this is one of them.

Updated -Excalibur Version 1.0.3

Excalibur has had a fantastic welcome from mixers doing all sorts of work, so tt's not really surprising that a few additional issues have turned up. Exponential Audio is committed to providing the most dependable plugins and timely support possible. So here's V1.0.3.

What's in this version? You can check the release notes (included with the installer) for more detail. But here are the critical items:

• Some of the buttons weren't being automated. That's now fixed. This shouldn't affect any existing sessions, but if you have automated sessions, a backup is still a good idea.
• Some of the threshold detection was a little off at very low levels. This has been corrected, and it opens up some new possibilities.
• A few Pro Tools users observed that Excalibur should appear under more categories. Now it does!
• New presets. There are quite a few new presets targeted mainly toward Percussion and Post. But you might find them useful, whatever you do.

I'm trying to resist getting this, but it's not working out very well.
Probably going to pick this one up before the 10th.

Sonar Platinum wasn't listed on the "What DAWs does Excalibur work in?" page, so I sent a Contact Us mentioning it was working fine with no issues.
Michael emailed back about 30 mins later - he added it to the FAQ on the site.
 
Cool stuff!
