H90: I've Found the Key to Unlocking this Monster

[@witoldskiba4668]

ive watched one of your videos and made me stop second guessing about the h90 . making your own presets its the way to go thanks mate!

[@Kompa55_Music]

Happy to help!

I own 2 H9 Max pedals and know just how deep the app goes. The sheer amount of possibilities is astonishing. Love love love Eventide!

[@timeagan893]

I use 2 H90's on my pedalboard and your phrase (above) "The sheer amount of possibilities is astonishing" is thereby increased a thousand fold....Believe it!!!

[@timeagan893]

To Jon Kaye:....Sir your Eventide H90 tutorials are for me absolute Godsends.....In fact I would think that this is true for countless folks (like myself) who would have long since pulled out all of their hair due to the EXTREMELY STEEP LEARNING CURVE of the H90....Your tutorial videos have in fact been so helpful, if I were to give proper credit to where it is due, I really should list your name in the "SPECIAL THANKS goes to:" list on my musical recordings.....and with your permission ....I just may do this very thing. As far as I am concerned, Eventide should canonize you amongst their patron saints of the H90...Yes, you have been THAT helpful...SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH...and yes i did "Subscribed" and "like" all of your broadcasts

[@timeagan893]

PS. Jon Kaye: Having added a second H90 to my pedalboard....you can easily imagine how and why I hold your Eventide H90 Instructional broadcast videos in such high regard....PSS In fact I think that Eventide should send you a "complimentary" H90 due to the shear amount of technical inquiries you have saved them and also the positive exposure that come from artists doing great things to showcase the massive abilities of the H90....because it was you Jon Kaye that helped us to "UNLOCK" their product.

[@Kompa55_Music]

Wow. Thanks for such amazing feedback. Love to hear that! Just glad that more people are getting to use the stuff they’ve already spent money on. More videos coming!

[@timeagan893]

@@Kompa55_Music Your welcome...and YES, please do continue to make additional H90 videos....I have a feeling I'm going to need all the help I can get....AND the thing (H90) is SO comprehensively massive... I would imagine you might even get "requests" to address areas/features that some of your subscribers are still baffled by or have not yet been covered in your eventide H90 Series of tutorials. There is not a single doubt in my mind that you have and are helping countless H90 users that have not taken the time to thank you but never-the -less benefited by your Eventide tutorials so please keep that in mind.

Top vids. H90 master keep it up

[@Kompa55_Music]

Appreciate it

[@GS-uy4xo]

Thanks for the video, very useful. Once they port the app over to iOS/Bluetooth it’ll be awesome !

[@Kompa55_Music]

Fingers crossed! Should be coming soon.

[@dingbatjack1234]

You need to calibrate your pedal via the pedal. Thats why you are getting those values.

[@Kompa55_Music]

That's great. Thanks! I didn't know that.

[@dingbatjack1234]

@@Kompa55_MusicIt’ll be perfect after enjoy 💪

[@hillie47]

Can you hook up a midi controller to the app, so you can twist the buttons on something with real knobs, like a midi fighter twister (or whatever they're called)?

[@Kompa55_Music]

The app isn’t standalone so you need the H90 hardware connected to use it. And the H90 has loads of knobs already of course. If you want more, then you can connect a midi controller to the H90 and control almost anything with it.

[@hillie47]

@@Kompa55_Music The app shows a pretty big grid of knobs, so if all those parameters can be controlled externally, that'd be easy. A midi fighter twister gives you 16 extra knobs, which can be quite useful if you're looking to adjust a lot of parameters on the fly. But nice to know it'll be possible to do.

[@skippruitt2391]

How do I bypass on the H90 and get a clean signal before I add efx....Thank you!

[@Kompa55_Music]

If you press the left hand foot switch (or the small light above it) then bypasses the program and you should hear just the dry signal (ie before FX).

[@skippruitt2391]

​@@Kompa55_MusicTHANK YOU!

To Jon Kaye: Dearest Sir, Please read my "comments" to you (Below)

[@alessandrovitali606]

Great tutorial however it seems that the real sound design with H90 has to be done on the computer and this makes the device a bit pointless (?)

[@Kompa55_Music]

No I don’t think so. It’s fun creating the sounds on the pedal. But having the computer there too just helps with saving, organisation and maybe refining your initial preset. But I can see how that might put some people off.

[@ShaighJosephson]

I was all done with Eventide when they pulled their money-grubbing BS with the H9... They are just repackaging their old algorythms... I only have their Space pedal left and that's about to go because it's only 8-bit processing... Eventide's market share is dwindling and repackaging the H9 into the H90 us not going to save them...

[@Kompa55_Music]

Thanks for sharing.

I've found that, in general, the H90 app is much better for programming than programming through the hardware itself. The H90 is part of that trend. The H90, like most hardware, has to make compromises because of its size in that it assigns numerous features to relatively few buttons. An app doesn't have to do that, so everything becomes much more easily accessible. The H90 app is particularly good. The one piece of music hardware that I've found is the exception to this compromise is the Fender Tone Master Pro multi-effects unit. It's incredibly easy to use in the first place, and what makes it even easier is that the app almost completely mirrors the hardware. It's a very smart design. The Fender can do that because it's a large unit with a large and outstanding touchscreen. The H90 is compact and can't do things the same way. I'm curious to see, though, if Eventide and others go in the touchscreen direction in the future, as we're seeing more music hardware go to touchscreens and users are increasingly expecting it.

[@Kompa55_Music]

Yeah I agree. There is too much functionality to be used on such a small device. Not sure touchscreen is the way to go though. People want tactile knobs and buttons. Otherwise just stick an iPad with an app there instead.

[@IgorHatesEverything]

@@Kompa55_Music True, tactile knobs are very useful. With people of our age -- I'm 49 -- we still want tactile knobs and buttons. I'm wondering about younger generations, though, which have grown up on touchscreen-only devices and feel comfortable with them. Frankly, even I've gotten used to just relying on screens. When I'm programming my Fender or H90, I only use the app and don't touch the knobs at all. My guess is that companies like Eventide, Fractal and Helix will go to hybrid tactile/touchscreen in their next models like we see with Fender, Headrush and Quad Cortex. You never know about Boss, which always seems to be several years behind everyone else in terms of interface. I bought a Boss GM-800 several months ago, and although the sound quality is first rate, the interface on it is still from 30 years ago. And this is on the latest unit that Boss has just developed.

[@Kompa55_Music]

Lol. I’ve struggled with Boss gear. Even the manuals are confusing!
