I’m sure you’re thoroughly confused right now. 😊 The plugin is definitely not a “normal” plugin.  It’s not like a reverb, delay, etc…  You can’t just stick it in an insert slot and expect it to just work.

I can get it to work in a session without an instance of emote anywhere to be seen.  Yeah, not normal, the docs really don’t explain this very well.  You can also send the output of a track to the H9000 by setting it’s output to the right channels, but then you need to setup another track and set its inputs to the right channels to get it back.
