H9 Control on Mac

[kenhan]

Problem: I cann't establish bluetooth connection from the latest H9 Control and Yosemite.

Request: H9 is a great pedal. But I think H9 Control can be better. You have basically ported the same app to work on iPad and Mac. I think that is a developer-centric decision, not necessarily a user-centric decision. Eventide is not a startup with a couple of guys working in their garage. I think you can invest more in your software, and let each UI reflect the strengths of each platform. There's so much screen real estate available on the Mac that is not utilized.

Please try the Yosemite beta build that we posted on this forum thread.

The real reason for that is the vector graphics files that Adobe Illustrator exports are useless so we didn't have a good way to make resizable graphics for the UI.

Even with the beta I cannot connect to H9 Control via Bluetooth to Mac Yosemite.

Have a look at the section on connecting on Mac OS X to an H9 via Bluetooth in the user guide.  It has some tips that might help:

I don't think the beta link works anymore?

I just tried it; the link worked fine for me:

weird.  

I just tried it with firefox and it works fine

but for some reason won't work in Safari 8.  

The joys of Yosemite…

Just paste the link into Safari downloads panel. It will download fine.

But I still can't get mine to connect. Half the times H9 won't even show up. When it does, it will not establish connection. My H9 connects fine to my iPhone and iPad so the unit itself is probably fine. Likewise my MacBook Air, which connects to magic trackpad via bluetooth fine, so the computer bluetooth is working fine. Very frustrating. I followed all the suggestions above.

You tried all of the suggestions in the user guide such as pressing X, Y, and Z simultaneously twice to toggle Bluetooth off and then on again?

Yes, tried multiple times turning bluetooth on and off, un/plugging it while on/off, rebooting computer, starting bluetooth in Mac on/off, etc. etc.
