[RCV.MAP] – Create a MIDI Program Change Receive Map
MIDI maps are an efficient way to instantly recall any of the H9’s Presets using your favorite
MIDI controller (pedal board, sequencer, etc.). Press the HOTKNOB button to select and
create a MIDI Program Change Receive Map. This function sets the corresponding Preset that
is recalled when a MIDI Program Change message is received. (Referred to as Prg No. from
here on.)
Note that if a Preset is saved “Bypassed,” when it is loaded by using a MIDI Program Change
command the Preset will load but the pedal will be Bypassed.
The Left Field displays the Prg No. (0-127) and Right Field displays either the Preset Number
(P01-P99) or one of various Bypass options described below, or OFF. The two fields are
delimited by a decimal point
[127.P99]
There are two ways to select the MIDI Prg No: manually or using Learn Mode. To select
manually, with the Left Footswitch LED flashing, turn the Knob to select the desired Prg No.
from 0 to 127.
To use Learn Mode,
press the Left Footswitch again.
In LEARN mode, the Prg. No. will be
automatically set when a MIDI Program Change message is received. Pressing the Left
Footswitch exits LEARN mode.
Press the Right Footswitch
to select the Preset field (indicated by the flashing Right Footswitch
LED) and
turn the Knob
to select the Preset.
To map another Prg No. to another Preset, press the Left Footswitch again to select the
desired Prg No., then the Right Footswitch to map it to the desired Preset.
Default map: Prg No. (1-99) map to the 99 Presets (P01-P99).
As well as using MIDI program change to load a preset, this message can also be
programmed to directly control the unit’s BYPASS setting. With the Right Footswitch LED
flashing, turn the Knob counter-clockwise to select:
[OFF] Unassigned
[BYP] BYPass the unit
[ACT] Make the unit ACTive, i.e., not bypassed.
[TOG] TOGgle between bypass and active.
[TUN] Load the Tuner
[NXT] Load the preset following the current one.
[LST] Load the preset preceding the current one.
Press the PRESETS button

twice to go to top level System menu.
[XMT.MAP] – Create a MIDI Program Change Transmit Map
When the Left Footswitch loads a Preset, a MIDI Program Change message can be transmitted
from the MIDI Out jack or USB to control an external device - e.g., another Eventide
Stompbox, an Eventide Eclipse, an Eventide H8000FW, etc.
To Create a MIDI Program Change transmit map, press the HOTKNOB button to access the
