H9, Empress Reverb, Boss ES-8 Midi Thru Help

[markroskowske]

I’ve been trying to get the H9, Empress Reverb and Boss ES-8 to talk to each other.  I can control the Empress fine when it is plugged in o the ES-8 directly.  However, when I add the H9 before it, I can’t get it to work.  I have the H9 on channel 2 and the Empress on 3.  The H9 works fine when connected directly to the ES-8.  I have the Midi set to Thru+CC.  I also tried Thru.

When you have multiple complex units connected together it is usually impossible to give a remote diagnosis. You may need to find a good technician.

Also, you don't actually say what the problem is – in what way does it "not work" ?

If your problem is that you are not receiving MIDI, things to try are:

1) Use the very latest software in the H9 – this has some MIDI improvements.

2) Re-initialize the H9 as described in the UM.

3) Set MIDI channel numbers temporarily to OMNI, just in case there is a mis-match.

4) Don't use THRU+CLK or MERGE if you have heavy MIDI traffic.
