H90 Looper

Hello,

Yes, if you’d like more control beyond the 1-button looper, it is best to use a 3-button aux switch or MIDI controller.

If you’d like some tips or advice about using the 1-button looper, I am happy to offer some help.

A user has posted a great looper tutorial here: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/looping-with-the-h90-part-1-basic-setup.2478513/

Great work with a complete looper overview.  I tried adding all the other installments in one place (flagged as spam for too many links).

So here they are, one reply at a time.

Looping with the H90, Part 6:  Speed Manipulation

well, I didn’t buy this for looping so this is a bit of a moot point but here goes nonetheless:

1. Can I not freely assign controls to ANY of the 3 switches?  Like EDP+ footpedal layout for example…

2. When trying to toggle through the switch assignments while a loop is playing (via the LED buttons immediately above the footswitches) the display immediately reverts back to the transport time readout…which makes it hard/impossible to change the assignment of this switch.  Now this wouldn’t normally be a problem but I can’t seem to freely assign, say “latch replace” to another switch.

(trying to upload a quick video but no worky)

Noted and thanks.

All I can say, Mr. Celticelk: You really get it.  We are very much on a parallel paths, down to controller choices, multiple instances, and combo-algos.  An endless Program List(s) in progress here, while compiling the tips ‘n’ tricks I’ve run across.  Mix control behavior, to name just one.

I would still really like the ability to disable catchup.

I… in perform mode, I have to scroll to the third page of footswitch assignments to get to the REC PLAY STOP. Can I get these to be assigned to the first page?

No, these were ‘added access’ pages, locked to pages 3 or 4.  To date, anything beyond the standard 2 page flip is unique to the Looper algorithm.

… Seems odd the way it is setup and I can’t seem to see how/where in the H90 Control software to set these. I see FS1-6 parameter settings, but that doesn’t seem to be getting me what I need for the looper controls.

It had me scratching my head at first, too.  I don’t believe there is a way to map those in H90 Control.

I assign REC PLAY STOP on the pedal itself.  In Perform Mode, press the corresponding LED switch below each page 3/4 Looper command, and dial the Quick Knob up to your desired AUX or MIDI switching command.

I’m no big fan of Global mapping assignments, with one exception: a mapping to Perform Mode.  I’ve found it invaluable for switching Perform pages, especially when using two Looper instances.  CC#4 has become my permanent page-turner.

Thanks for the response. I think am still missing something. In Perform Mode on Page one, when mapping Performance Parameters, I hold down the first LED to assign a Parameter, but only see Act/Byp, Act/Byp(M), Hotswitch1, Hotswitch1(M) and Tap on the [P] LED for instance. I see more options on the [A] LED, but that’s the only one.

I want to be able to go to this program and immediately see the REC PLAY STOP (which I think is what you are saying). I don’t want to have to switch to that program, and then also have to hit another button twice to page through until I see those controls.

Okay thank you very much. I got it to work. But, I would have never figured that out on my own. Is that documented somewhere?

Actually, it was a new enhancement that rode in with the additional Looper pages.  1.9.7 Release Notes.  You can usually find all of the latest breaking news in the sticky threads at the top of this forum.

… HERE’S THE PROBLEM: I set a different switch on MC6 to send CC# 32 to H90; when I hit it during playback, NOTHING HAPPENS.  H90 continues to play.  I tried re-assigning the CC# to a diff value (in case H90 doesn’t like the number 32?!?), same outcome: Stop doesn’t work from MC6 but play and record do?!?!

I tried to reproduce this, same setup.  Stop & (long press) Erase both work as expected, even mapped to CC#32 (or any other CC# I tried).  I’m thinking it has to be on the MC side of this equation.

Anything jump out as different in the Action / Message types, comparing Rec / Play to Stop?  Maybe bring up the MIDI Monitor to see if anything looks funky on that end.
