H90 Midi Global Settings

[dknobler]

Just curious if there were any plans to add additional MIDI control options. For instance, I’d love to be able to use CC messages to change some of the global settings like routing and clocking. Specifically it’d be great to be able to use CC to change the Tempo source.

 

Thanks for making such an incredible musical tool!

Hello,

There are currently no plans to add those MIDI controls. A typical setup would use either MIDI clock or the H90’s internal clock for the clock source, I don’t see that as something that you would need to change on the fly using MIDI.

What is your use case that would require this?

Can you give us an example of how this would be useful?

Are you referring to global routing modes (Insert/Dual) or series/parallel signal routing? Series/Parallel is possible recalling different Programs, but because global routing modes require completely different Playlists this isn’t presently possible. We appreciate your feedback.

I work in a studio environment where I am often searching for and sculpting new sounds on the fly. I start with various presets but want to be able to make changes via MIDI CC quickly. In regards to the clocking, sometimes we are on a click track, sometimes not. There are times where I’d like all the pedals on my board to be in sync with each other and there are times where I want to individually tap out tempos / speeds per pedal. I have a set of CC messages that turn the MIDI clocks on and off for other time-based pedals.

The routing I was thinking about switching between Series / Parallel and moving the placement of the inserts. Again, sometimes in the studio I want to be able to quickly audition sounds and the ability to have a quick MIDI command to do things like change the routing or flip the order of the two presets or inserts would be useful.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for providing this information. We may consider adding these MIDI options in a future update, but I cannot make any promises.

If you are always in a studio setting, I would suggest using H90 Control for quick access to these parameters.

Hello,

I have a use case where I’d like to switch between global routing modes ideally using midi on a guitar rig for live performance.

I use a pedalboard with analog drive pedals, digital effects and a midi loop switcher with one of the loops connected to input/output-3 on the h90 and the final loop switcher output connected to input-1 of the h90. Outputs 3&4 of the h90 go to a micro line mixer where i combine the dry (normally analog – no AD-DA conversion) guitar sound from the pedal board with the h90 (and other effect processor) outputs for a studio -style effect send-return setup.

As an example – If I need to add a gate to suppress noise from distortion/overdrive pedals on the dry guitar sound I can use the Omnipressor in the Dynaverb algorithm (very nice by the way!) by switching in the loop connecting to the h90, so that i don’t need an extra analog pedal as a gate. But to do this I need to switch to the Dual global routing mode on the H90. Normally I would be using Insert global mode so I can use the 2 effects blocks in series or parallel after the loop switcher, but sometimes switching between clean and heavily overdriven sounds switching to that Dual mode and back again using midi would be useful..

Also wondering if the Eventide design team is thinking of adding more dynamics processing algorithms to the H90? – EQs, comps, gates, etc. A ‘Multi’ effect channel strip would be nice too.

Thanks,

Martin

Sorry, we don’t have plans to add the option of changing the global routing mode via MIDI. I would suggest you figure out a way to make your setup work in either Insert or Dual mode and stick with only one of the modes.

We’d be happy to hear more about what you are looking for in dynamics processing algorithms on the H90.
