H90 Looper

[Danmusic1968]

I am experiencing some difficulty using the looper on the H90.

To get the most out of the looper does it require a separate three button switch or MIDI controller? I can’t seem to figure it out on the control app but only the one button looper which is not very convenient or user friendly.

Maybe their is a video on YouTube on how to properly utilize it.

Thanks in advance

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.

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)

1. Correct. On the H90, you can only assign P parameters to the P footswitch, A parameters to the A footswitch, and B parameters to the B footswitch.

2. The looper transport will always be displayed when either 1-button looper, record, or play is assigned to the footswitch. It sounds like this is what you are experiencing.

I would recommend using only the 1-button looper and not changing the footswitch assignment, or using a MIDI controller or 3-button aux switch if you’d like access to more looper transport controls.

Noted and thanks.
