H9 User Guide System Mode

To assign the switches, first select the H9 function (the destination on the left side of the

display) that you want to externally control (e.g. KB0) and then select the Aux Switch that you

want to control it with (the source).

To Setup Control Destinations

Turn the Knob to select an external control destination. Destinations include the H9

parameters and functions that can be controlled by one of the Aux Switches. The choices are:

[BYP] Toggle Bypass/Active. Bypass type selected in BYPASS)

[PR+] Increment Preset number without loading the preset

[PR-] Decrement Preset number without loading the preset

[NXT] Load the next preset

[LST] Load the previous preset

[TAP] Tap tempo switch function.

[PSW] Toggle or enable the Performance Switch function

[KB0]…[KB9] - Parameter Control Knobs

[TUN] – Enable tuner

The following Looper functions only work with the Looper algorithm

[REC] Record

[PLY] Play

[STP] Stop Play or Record

[MT] Empty (erase any current recording)

[DIR] Change Play direction

[OCT] Change Play speed up or down by an octave

Performance Switch [PSW] – The Performance Switch is used for ‘infinite repeat’ with

TimeFactor algorithms, ‘rate change’ with ModFactor algorithms, various functions with

PitchFactor algorithms and ‘HotSwitch’ with Space algorithms. Refer to the specific algorithm

description in the Algorithm Guide for details.

Parameter “Knobs” [KB0]-[KB9] - You can use the Aux Switches to control up to 10 virtual

“Knobs.” KB0-KB9 correspond to the ten parameters of the currently running algorithm. For

example, if a Preset based on the Dual Delay algorithm is currently running, KB0 corresponds

to the “MIX” parameter. If the H9 is running a Preset based on the Rotary algorithm, KB0

corresponds to the “INTENSITY” parameter.

When driving KB0-9 from the Aux Switch, each press of the switch normally toggles between

one of two values. As an alternative, there are three momentary sources, [TI.P.], [RN.G.] an

[T+.R.]. These will give one value when pressed and another when released.

After you’ve selected a Parameter Control Knob, you can set two values for the parameter; a

minimum value [MINVAL] and a maximum value [MAXVAL]. Each time the assigned switch is

pressed, the parameter value instantly toggles between the minimum and maximum value.

When a Parameter Control Knob designator is displayed (KB0… KB9), pressing the Left

Footswitch will display [MINVAL]. Turn the Knob to set the minimum value. The value is

displayed while you’re turning the Knob and times out to display the selected [MINVAL] when

the Knob is idle.

Push the Left Footswitch again to set the parameter’s maximum value [MAXVAL]. Turn the

Knob to adjust the maximum value. The value is displayed while you’re turning the Knob and

times out to display the selected [MAXVAL] when the Knob is idle.
