I still have a 3000 with several program ROMs and the sampler.
It got used more in the early digital days to time compress voice tracks for
commercials.
I did use it once to take a tempo wrinkle out of the intro of a Tom Larsen
tune we had recorded. The variation really didn't bother me until days after
the session. I unwrinkled it manually after may tries and then we edited the
new intro on to the song during mastering.
Most of the algorithms and many parameters made this sort of a "because we
can" box to me. Perhaps I was just not creative enough to figure out how to
use all of them.
It would be nice to hear what a true H3000 power user was able to do.
