        Hi all,

        I’m reconfiguring my pedalboard, and I’m having some challenges getting my H90 to both act as a MIDI clock source (via tap tempo), as well as allowing the H90 to pass PC and CC messages through to other midi devices further down the chain.  Right now if I set the midi output mode to thru it will send messages through, but won’t transmit the tap tempo.  If I set it to “transmit” it will send the tap tempo but won’t transmit messages.

        Is there some way to do both?  Or is this some technical issue with the midi protocol that prevents both from happening at once?

        Thanks!

          Hello,

          The current MIDI implementation on the H90 is it can either pass thru MIDI information, or transmit MIDI information, it cannot do both.

          I would suggest that you either:

          1. Set the H90 to transmit and use the H90 as the clock source and also use it for sending PC and CC messages. OR
          2. Set the H90 to thru and us another device before the H90 as the clock source and PC/CC controller.

            Hello

            So, If I want the H90 to pass thru pc and cc messages AND to send midi clock, it’s still not possible?

            Strangely, the H9 was doing that without any problem, what sort of nonsense downgrade is this?

              That is correct. The current MIDI implementation is that the H90 will either pass THRU or transmit MIDI, not both simultaneously.

              We may add more options in a future update, but I cannot provide any timeline for that at this time.

              For now, you’ll need to follow my suggestions in the previous comment:

              1. Set the H90 to transmit and use the H90 as the clock source and also use it for sending PC and CC messages. OR
              2. Set the H90 to thru and us another device before the H90 as the clock source and PC/CC controller.

              Sorry for the inconvenience.

                Thank you for your quick answer!

                I know, don’t shoot the messenger, but really?? We are talking about Eventide’s flagship stompbox, the previous message concerning this is more than 2 years old, and Eventide didn’t care to solve a major problem that the 13 years old big brother didn’t have (H9) ?

                This is confusing 🫤

                Out of curiosity…Is the new H9 based on the same “new” midi protocol ?

                Thanks
