Input/Output 3 and 4

[tiresias]

I’ve been trying to sort this out now for a couple of hours.  From what i’ve read in the manual it suggests all ins and outs are always on. Ergo I assumed I could have one routing for my board using input 1 and output 2&3 to go to amps. Then for recording I thought I could use Input and output 3&4 on a send/return from my interface. But I can’t get any output.  Input in 1 and 2 indicated by 2 green leds on the left and input 3 and 4 indicated on the right but there is no output from 3 and 4. Is this something ridiculously simple that i’ve overlooked?

Sorry, I think you misunderstood the manual.

Connecting a cable to the input/output jacks of the H90 will determine wether it will process in mono/stereo.

If you use Dual Mode, you can have two paths; Inputs/Outputs 1-2 for Path 1, Inputs/Outputs 3-4 for Path 2. You can use Path 1 for your guitar amps, and path 2 for your audio interface. You will need to enable Dual Mode from the system settings: https://cdn.eventideaudio.com/manuals/h90/1.9.7/content/system-menu/global.html

Yes I’d missed the reference to routing in the Global settings and jumped to the I/O page, hence the confusion. Thanks for the clarification.

You’re welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Hi, yes, thanks, another another possibly dumb question. When using CC numbers with a midi controller (MC6 Pro) and an expression pedal, are they programme specific? For instance if I’m using CC numbers 1,2 and 3 to control various parameters simultaneously on a particular programme can those numbers then be used again on a subsequent programme? The reason I’m asking is because I remember reading somewhere in the manual that it’s always preferable to use different CC numbers for different controller events. When i first read it I thought that’s a lot of controller numbers to keep track of if your using sixty programmes. But logically I guess there is no reason why a controller number would cause any action outside of the selected programme. Just checking.

They can be if you program them for Performance controls, for example. But if you want assignments to work globally, then you need to program them in the system menu under MIDI-Global control.

Again, I’d make assignments  in System Menu > MIDI > MIDI-Global Ctl

It’s just starting the obvious that you don’t want to use the same CC# for different functions, otherwise you’ll run into conflicts with double mapped controls.

Yes having just looked at the global mapping options I can see the advantage of, for instance, using CC numbers 1-6 for Quick Knobs 1-6. This would ostensibly save a lot of duplication when it comes to assigning CC numbers to individual programmes where certain parameters are repeatedly assigned to Quick knobs, eg. mix level and so on.  But there are many more parameter mappings that are programme specific where you want to select a range of values, e.g. manual mod in vintage wah.  Is it permissible to use a mix of Global mappings and performance specific mappings? For example, reserving CC 1-6 for quick knobs and then using CC 7 and above for programme specific mappings. I am referring in all cases here to the use of an external midi controlled expression pedal.

[tiresias]

Come to think of it though, there would be very few instances where you would want to have the full range of a hot knob parameter mapped to an external expression pedal. Even with ‘mix’ levels for instance, you wouldn’t necessarily want a pedal to sweep through the entire range of a mix knob if you’re just fine tuning say the mix level of a reverb to suit the acoustics of a particular room at a gig. That could be very cumbersome. In which case your back to making all expression parameters programme/preset specific.

 

[tiresias]

Which takes me back to my original questio: That whatever CC numbers are used in expression pedal mapping within a particular programme remain specific to that programme without conflict, so long as none of them are duplicated in global mappings?

 

[joecozzi]

Correct.
