Terrific ideas, Tim. 

If you have not yet experimented with any Eventide equipment … well,  sending a stereo signal from a synthesizer (mine is a PolyEvolver) through such things as ReversePitch Shifters, Ring and Pan Delays, 10-sec. DualReverse Loops…and reverbs that last forever…  🙂 

 Just be prepared for a jaw-dropping shock & awe !   Currently I'm filling the piggy bank while reading thru the H8000's Preset Manual and trying to visualize what could be done in 5.1 surround.  Please keep us informed as to your success with the 8000 !
