7) Press the Right Footswitch and turn the Knob to set the upper limit.

8) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch

simultaneously for a few seconds to exit System Mode.

Algorithms & their Parameters

There are more than 40 algorithms available for the H9. Each algorithm is a

unique set of audio processing modules with parametric controls. The algorithms

and their parameters are described in the H9 Algorithm Guide.

Parameters – “Expert/Tweaker” Mode

While the X, Y, and Z buttons default function gives you instant access to three

parameters, all of our algorithms have additional parameters. One way of thinking

of this is that a parameter is “locked” to each of these buttons. In order to access

the other algorithm parameters, press and hold either X, Y, or Z for 2 seconds

thereby “unlocking” the full set of parameters.

Once unlocked, pressing the button will step through the parameter names.

Repeatedly pressing the same button will cycle through all of the parameters for

the current algorithm. Turn the Knob to adjust the parameter value, the LightRing

indicates the relative value of the parameter and the display shows the

parameter’s value. If you navigate away and then return, the button will display

the parameter you last selected.

Here’s an example: Assume that a Preset is currently loaded that is based on the

Vintage Delay algorithm. Its parameters are Mix (wet/dry), Delay Mix, Delay A,

Delay B, Feedback A, Feedback B, etc. Press the X button once and the parameter

name [MIX] is displayed. Now, press and hold the X button until [DLYMIX] is

displayed. Repeatedly pressing X will step through the complete set of Vintage

Delay’s parameters. In this way, you have the ability to adjust the value of all the

parameters of every algorithm and create a wide variety of effects and, of course,

to save them as new Presets.

The most recently selected parameter sticks, so if [DLY-A] was last adjusted using

the X button and you subsequently navigate away, the next time X is pressed, the

parameter [DLY-A] appears. These ‘top level’ settings for the X, Y, and Z buttons

are saved with Presets.

X, Y, and Z are independent. Any or all can be in either NORMAL or EXPERT mode.
