H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 Questions

Hello Genemesiz,

We appreciate your excitement of the H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 preorder announcement. We’re happy to give some basic answers to your questions but want to leave the deeper discussion for the actual release on June 24th.

Will there be seamless Preset/Program switching without a lag/delay? (I don’t mean “trails-spillover”) – I use a lot of the Distortion Algorithms: So can Gen2 switch from Crushstation to Sculpt instantly?

This is a significantly faster processor than the H9 Max. We’ve tried and found the H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 to be much faster than the H9 Max.

How will the switch between PGM UP/DOWN-Mode of the right Footswitch be handled? Long-Press?

You are correct, long pressing the right footswitch in SELECT mode will change the direction of the preset search as will the LED button above the footswtich.

Will the right Footswitch be programmable which a specific function? Hotswitch, Tuner, etc?

Yes, one of H9 Harmonizer Gen 2’s most powerful features. Left and right footswitch!

Will the Gen2 have more than one Hotswitch Setting per Algorithm, like the H90. Loadable via Midi?

Another H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 upgrade!

That’s all I can think of for now. Thank you for making such awesome products. Kind regards

We’re looking forward to showing the world everything on June 24th.

Will the screen be visible in outdoor daylight? At my first daytime outdoor gig with my H90 I was unpleasantly surprised that the screen became invisible even with shade. Will the 2nd gen H9 have a more outdoor daytime friendly screen?

Will there be a global volume control like the original H9?

Hello!

Will the H9 Gen 2 be similar to the H90 in terms of Relay and DSP bypass? I assume no analog dry-through features?

Thanks

Hi Joe, very excited about the H9 Gen 2.  I’m curious, how is the software dev going?  Is there a functioning H9 Gen 2 Control app already?  Any easy compatibility with saved preset banks from the H9 Gen 1 Control app?

Hi Joe, thanks for your help, will you please share input and output impedance values?

Will the Gen 2 work with the Barn3 OX9? Will the screw holes be the same?

How will the signal routing work on this?

Are we going to be able to use the 4 Cable Method (or just an insert loop) and still have stereo outputs? What are the other routing options that will be enabled?

Is the midi implementation the same as h90 ?

is the looper stereo like the H90 or mono like timefactor?

great!

im guessing you can’t load 2 algos at once tho, this is saved for the H90?

Can you use USB connection for midi?

when will manual be released?

When do preorders start shipping out?

Question: there was a number of complaints about the Harmonizer+ algorithms such as VocalTune in the H90 having unusuably high latency for live vocal processing (more than 30ms). Has this been optimized in the H9 Gen 2? Is there any way I can find out the values there? If it is low – I will be buying day 1.

Thank you!

Pedal arrived from B&H Photo today. It’s amazing. I never really needed 2 algorithms on the H90. Pretty much exclusively using it as a pitch shifter (polyphony).

With the tuner not available in perform mode, it probably won’t replace my st-300 on the board.

I think it’s been brought up before but still hoping at some point Freeze functionality is greatly expanded on the H9/H90 pedal. If there’s ever a fully developed Superego Plus esque freeze algorithm, I’d go back to the H90 in a heartbeat.

Anyways, congrats on the pedal Eventide 🎉

Apologies if already asked, but will the gen 2 have a similar ‘LEARN’ function as on the h90 for diatonic pitch effects? Thanks!

Our band is tuned to A=444 rather than A=440.  Will the harmonizer designed to work with microphone vocal inputs track with us at this tuning or will it “correct” things to normal concert pitch? (A=440)

Does the H9 Gen2 have new factory presets in the algorithms that are not on the H90? Thanks!

MIDI implementation wish list item #1: allow user to switch between user profiles via midi CC. Or is that unrealistic?

Yes, I may have not understood the instruction the first time I read it. I will experiment with it some more.

Hi,

How can I turn BT on / off, so that I can use the h90 control app on iPad?

How can I change presets from Eventide Control app v2.1.5 running on Mac? I can change them from the hardware preset button and big knob. On h90 it all can be done from the app.

I’m using software v 1.1.7.135

Thanks

Could we get the H9 Gen 2 presets for the H90?

I’m trying to get my Roland EV5 to work with the H9 Gen2 and have had no luck. Won’t go to zero or 100%. I’ve tried a ton of different stuff and it still will not work. The auto calibration seems to be a bit vague and unless I’m missing something, it’s not working at all. I even tried my Ernie ball volume pedal connected with a TRS cable, which gave different, but similar results. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I figured it out. Had to do it through the actual H9 and not the control app. Thanks for the response!
