The Algorithms
The H9 offers a wide range of effects and can hold 99 Presets based on these effects. Each of
these effects is based on a unique algorithm. An algorithm is the underlying signal processing
structure of the effect – the signal processing software that creates the effect and determines
the ways in which the effect can be controlled (the algorithm’s “parameters”). Each algorithm
has a unique set of parameters which are varied by pressing the X, Y, or Z buttons and
turning the H9’s Knob. Presets are created by setting these parameters in a unique way.
Simply put, Presets are based on algorithms and the algorithms are the “secret sauce.” Refer
to the Algorithm User Guide for detailed descriptions of the algorithms and their parameters.
Additional algorithms are available as in app purchases. When you purchase an algorithm,
the presets built on that algorithm are included for free.
The Presets
The H9 Standard Edition ships with 99 factory-created Presets based on Eventide’s unique
Algorithms (additional Algorithms and Presets are available via in app purchase). Whenever a
Preset is loaded, the name of the Algorithm on which the Preset is based is displayed
momentarily. You can modify the sound of a Preset by pushing the X, Y, Z, or HOTKNOB
buttons and turning the Knob (or by using an Expression Pedal or MIDI) and, if you wish, you
can save the resulting effect as a new Preset. Instructions on saving Presets are found later in
this User Guide. Refer to the Preset Guide for details on the factory-installed Presets.
The Knob, the LightRing & the Buttons
The H9 has one big Knob (Encoder) encircled by a LightRing and five ‘radio’ buttons
(HOTKNOB, X, Y, Z and Preset). The LightRing is used to indicate parameter settings and
values.
The Knob is used to:
1)
Select and load Presets
2)
Adjust Preset parameter values
3)
Act as an on-board Expression Pedal
4)
Dial-in tempo
5)
Name Presets
6)
Control and adjust various system settings
7)
Toggle the action of the Right Footswitch between stepping up/down through the
Presets
The buttons are used to select the action of the Knob. When a button is pressed, its LED is lit,
the display indicates the parameter or preset name, and the Knob is active.
X, Y, Z buttons
Preset parameters are adjusted by pressing the X, Y, or Z button and then turning the Knob.
All three parameter buttons behave in the same way. Why three parameter buttons? In order
to get the most out of H9’s effects in a live situation, we believe that it’s important to give
you ‘top level’ control of the parameters that you’ll want to adjust on-the-fly.
When you press an X, Y, or Z button, its LED lights and the parameter name is displayed. Turn
the Knob to change the parameter’s value. The LightRing indicates the Parameter’s value (all
LEDs OFF indicates minimum, all ON maximum). Press the Knob to display the parameter’s
current value.
Each of the X, Y, Z buttons can function in one of two ways. In “NORMAL” mode, a single
parameter is assigned to each button. These assignments are set by the Preset and were
