H90 midi question

There is currently no settings to adjust the PC options on the H90. We’re working on an option to offset the PC numbers by 1 so the H90’s PC numbers match other equipment that start at PC 0.

Yes, using the global mapping options you can map a CC to bypass the Program or Presets: https://cdn.eventideaudio.com/manuals/h90/1.3.0/content/appendix/global.html

<p style=”text-align: left;”>With Act / Byp (M), you need to send CC#0 at a value of less than 64 for Bypass.  That is, any value between 0 and 63.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”><span style=”font-size: inherit;”>Any CC#0 value from 64 through 127 results in an Active state.  That way, you can use two switches with different values of CC#0 to control Active or Bypass.</span></p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>It’s also possible to ‘punch in’ Active with a switch programmed for, say, CC#0 – 127 on press, and CC#0 – 0 on release.</p>

Not sure what is going on, then.  It works as expected here: version 1.3.0.75.  Tested using a MIDI Baby 3, Source Audio Reflex; I expect the FCB-1010 here, or CC#0 via DAW Transmit will yield the same results.

I even tested Aux switches to see if they might diverge from MIDI; as they have mirrored parameters in Global Mapping.  Works the same.

Unfortunately, there is no Learn function in Global Mapping, like there is with individual parameter control.  Makes for a great test to confirm what you’re sending is getting received by the H90.

You could try sending CC#0 to (any) parameter, using Learn, to see what happens there.  Without narrowing down the range, you should see (any) parameter snap between minimum & maximum values.

Better still, a MIDI Monitor would give you back exact CC Number & Values at a glance.

One more thought: I keep reading you can’t get into Bypass.  That leads me to believe your MIDI controller (what are you using?) might be sending CC#0, but only with a single value, somewhere between 64 & 127.

Instead, try mapping it to [P] Act / Byp (without the (M).  See what happens.  A ‘high’ value will alternate between Active & Bypass with subsequent switch presses.

That may very well be what’s going on here.  The differences between MIDI configuration in the H9 & the H90 will naturally lead to some confusion among longtime H9 users.  To summarize what Tyler said above:

• In the H90, PC messages will only affect Program Changes currently, and cannot be remapped, or used to trigger other functions.
• The H90 PCs are currently ‘off by one’, relative to the H9 MIDI implementation.
• The H9 has the ability to Activate OR Bypass OR Toggle Between Active & Bypass, via PC or CC message.  The H90 implements 2 ways for Act / Bypass via CC only.  It doesn’t feature mappings to Activate or Bypass individually.

To mimic the H9 Bypass-only in the H90, send CC#0 with a value of zero (0-63).  You will need to re-Activate with a 2nd CC message, Aux switch, or the onboard switches.

If your MIDI controller only sends CC#0 with a value of 127 (64-127, or it can’t be reconfigured), you will have to live with 2 switch presses to Bypass (currently).

Hi!

Resurrecting this thread to ask if the mentioned option on the H9 app of remapping the Program Change messages is already available on the H90. It would be a deal breaker for me to purchase the pedal in case it is not still available.

This is possible with the H90 using 1:1 Program Changes, you just need to create your H90’s List in a way where the Program numbers match the Program numbers of your Amp’s Program numbers. How many different amp settings are you using? It shouldn’t be very difficult to have this match up with the H90’s Programs. Personally, I prefer 1:1 Program Changes on all my devices since it is a simple way to think about everything. I always know that my synth/H90 will share the same Program numbers, and I can create my lists accordingly without having to think any further.

Is there a way to bypass the H90 with a Program Change MIDI message?
