[AUX SW] – Program Auxiliary Switches

Up to three Auxiliary Switches can be assigned as controls for the Preset

parameters and system control. The three Aux Switches are connected to the rear

panel ¼” stereo phone jack labeled EXPression Pedal. The H9 detects closures by

sensing whether the tip, the ring or both the tip and ring are grounded. Note that

you must use a stereo phone plug when connecting Aux Switches.

To assign the Aux Switches, first press the HOTKNOB button to select [AUX SW].

You will see two fields (split display) of the display (left/right) showing Parameter

destination and Control source assignments. The Left Footswitch LED is flashing

(if it’s not, press the Left Footswitch to select this field) showing this to be the

selected field for editing. Note that the selected side of the display is flashing.

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.

[PR-] – Decrement Preset number.

[TAP] – Tap tempo switch function.

[PSW] – Toggle or enable the Performance Switch function

[KB0]…[KB9] - Parameter Control Knobs

[TUN] – Enable tuner

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]-[KN9] - 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.
