Mapping user presents to MIDI program change receive map

I saw on a video that there is a way to change the patches to numerical.  But that was on a desktop version of the app.  I've only been able to get a bluetooth connection with my iPhone, not my mac desktop nor my MacBook Pro. So I can't seem to use the full functionality of the desktop version.

Can you explain what was the issue when you tried to connect to your H9 on your Mac or MacBook? Any steps with screenshots will be helpful to us to help you on this issue.

You say I can "assign (my) presets to particular preset list positions, and then you can use the MIDI program change receive map for this."  I know I can set up different lists and have done so.  However, as before, they have letters in them. Can you give me a step by step how to assign, for example, a user present from my list on my phone to the MIDI map? Say #1 or 001 on the map? That would be so helpful.  

You go on to say, "But you don't really need to use the MIDI program change receive map for this. You can manage different preset lists in the control app and just move your presets around in different lists instead of changing the mapping of MIDI messages."  

Am I to take that to mean that I can still select those patches with presets on my Boss ES-5 for live performance without the MIDI program change receive mapping?  If so, can you give me a step by step example how that would work?

It seems that you're very confused about MIDI, and the hierarchy of presets and preset lists. 

First, I'm gonna talk about presets and preset lists. In H9 Control, there is a "Presets" screen and a "Preset Lists" screen. Under "Presets", you can see and edit all Factory  and User presets. But remember, all these presets are local on your phone (or pad/PC/Mac). Under "Lists", you may see and edit all your local User lists and the preset list on your H9. There are 99 presets stored in the H9. This is the list that you want to edit and assign to MIDI control. There are two ways to edit your H9's list.

1. In "Presets" screen, open your user preset, and click the "Save" button from the top toolbar. Then you can choose where to save this preset. Click your H9 (by default, H9-***** your H9's serial number), and select the preset index where you want the preset to be saved. See attachments 1 & 2.
2. Or you can do this in the "Lists" screen: Click your H9's icon on the left to go to its list; click the preset that you want to change; choose the user preset you edited that you want to add to the unit's list, click save. See attachments 3 & 4.

Now you should be able to edit the list on your H9. Now let's talk about MIDI. For guitarists and pedal users, normally there are just two types of MIDI messages that need to be considered: CC messages and PC messages. In your case, you just want to switch presets using your pedal controller. So you just need to take care of MIDI PC messages. H9 and H9 Control are super flexible and easy to use in term of MIDI mapping. If you click the "Pedal" screen in H9 Control, and go to "MIDI Settings", then "Program Change receive map", you will see the preset list on your H9 is already mapped to certain PC messages by default (see attachment 5). Now what you need to do is simply assigning those MIDI PC messages to your preset in your Boss ES-5. For example, if you want a preset on your ES-5 to load the preset 1 in H9, you need to assign MIDI PC 0 to that preset on your ES-5. However, if you have more questions about setting up ES-5, I would be willing to spend some time helping you out, but I don't own an ES-5 so BOSS people may have better answers for you.

hello,

I am attempting to create presets and assign program changes with 4 Eventide Factor pedals using H9 Control on a windows pc.

modfactor,
pitchfactor,
timefactor,
and space.

I have 10 presets on each pedal that I put in the first 10 preset slots.

midi controller pedals I am using: Rocktron Midimate, midi out to

midi in on Rocktron Patchmate Loop8 Floor. midi out/thru to

midi in on Eventide Factor pedals, linked together(midi out/thru) .

I want to set each Eventide pedal on a different midi channel (channels 2-5). the PatchMate will operate on midi channel 1. So I want to have my gear set up on 5 different midi channels. I have set up the Midi Mate to broadcast on each channel and recall different presets from each device for each Midi Mate preset. I am not really sure how to go about setting this up….

using H9 Control, I want to create presets and set up program changes with my 4 Eventide pedals.

Any information that could help me set this up with the Eventide Factor pedals would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

At first I thought it was that I was using my old mac desktop.  So I tried on my wife's new macbook pro.  Same result. I turned off my phone thinking that since I paired to it first, that may be the issue (and it may still be?) but I still had the same result, no pin dialog box ever comes up and it eventually errors out.  

Yes, H9 can be only connected to one device. Please try connecting to it again when your H9 is available. And take some screenshots so I know which window you are talking about. Please try to connect to your H9 in H9 Control, rather than the Bluetooth window from the System Preferences on your Mac.

Question on that….I can run any Max algorithm on a core unit, I understand, but the Max has to be present, correct?  Or can I actually save patches to the core units I buy?

No, the Max doesn't have to be present and you can save presets with all the algorithms on your Core.  As long as you have a Max registered to your Eventide account, you'll be able to use all of the algorithms.  If you resell the Max to someone else, then you'll no longer be able to.
