This section describes how to install the software drivers required to operate the
H8000FW Multi-Channel Effects System with your Windows XP or Vista-based PC.
Those hip Mac people should skip ahead.
If you are updating your drivers with new ones, read the release notes supplied with the
update. If an H8000FW update is also required, perform this before continuing.
Your Windows-XP or Vista should have the latest service packs installed. If you are not
sure, go to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate
to check that your PC is up to
date. We recommend that you keep your machine up to the standard Microsoft
specification – we cannot guarantee results with outdated, beta or experimental versions
of Windows.
You may see cosmetic differences between the screens below and those on your
computer, depending on its settings and operating system. You may also see
interchangeable references to either “H8000 Audio” or “Eventide Dice.”
Before starting, be sure your PC is equipped with a Firewire port. If your PC did not come
equipped with a Firewire port, you must purchase a Firewire PCI card and install it. See the
recommendations under Check your FireWire Card on page 173.
Leave the FireWire cable unconnected at this time.
 Locate the drivers file, EventideInstaller.exe (setup.exe on older drivers). This will
either be on the CD supplied with your H8000FW or contained within a
compressed zip file downloaded from the Eventide Web site. If the latter, open
(extract) the zip file and copy the .exe file to your hard disk. The latest version of
the driver can always be found on the Web Site.
