H9 Question

[GeeBee]

First, I like to say thanks for the replies that I have received from the group so far.

1. So, I have saved my algorithm choices to the H9 control on my computer. How do I get the saved choices from the H9 control to designated locations on my Es-5?

2. Do I need the H9 pedal hooked up to the H9 control program and the ES-5 to the pedal?

3. I’m assuming the ES-5 can not be hooked up to the H9 control?

4. Do you have to tell the pedal what instrument will be used with it?

5. I have two H9’s that I will be using. How do I differentiate between the two when I save my algorithms to the H9 Control and then onto my ES-5?

6. By chance, is there anyone in Nashville, TN that knows the ins/outs of this pedal and how to save the algorithms and program them to a swithcer? I could contact?

I am more of a hands on guy.

I have watched the Eventide videos concerning the pedal and its capabilites. I’ve searched the internet too. But a lot of the videos that are made assume you already know how to use the pedal and the control program.

If you haven’t done so, save the list on H9 Control to your pedal. This way, your effects will be in the order according to your list. Next, the buttons on your ES-5 should be programmed to send Program Change messages (PC). All you need to do is send PC messages for the positions that correspond to the effects on your H9.

Sending PC#0 from ES-5 should recall Preset 1 on H9
Sending PC#1 from ES-5 should recall Preset 2 on H9
Sending PC#2 from ES-5 should recall Preset 3 on H9
and so forth.

The ES-5 has nothing to do with the H9 Control software. They can’t communicate. Again, once you’ve created a list on H9 Control, download it to the pedal. Now send PC messages from the ES-5 using the numbers that correspond to the positions on the pedal as described above.

Correct.

The H9 is programmed from factory to have “guitar” as its Source instrument. This setting works well with most content. You should not have to touch this. Unless, you’re connecting a synth or bass, there is no need to adjust this.

H9 Control has nothing to do with your ES-5. If you are referring to saving algorithms onto each individual pedal, understand preset lists are saved to whatever device you create them on. If you want to download a list to either of the two H9’s you have paired to H9 Control, when you click “Save to Pedal” it will ask which pedal you want to save the list to.
