H9 - Algorithms and Their Parameters

Algorithms are the basis for all of H9’s Presets. Each algorithm employs a unique signal processing structure to achieve its effect and each algorithm has a unique set of control parameters associated with it. The H9 can be loaded with over 40 algorithms taken from

Eventide’s family of stompboxes as well as some algorithms created specifically for the H9.

Algorithm and parameter names have been customized to accommodate the H9’s six character display. In this document, displayed characters on the stompboxes 6 character LED display are indicated in brackets [XXXXXX]. The algorithms are grouped by stompbox lineage: Space,

PitchFactor, ModFactor and TimeFactor plus algorithms new for the H9.

One of the purposes of this document is to help users create and tweak presets. If you do a lot of that sort of thing, you’ll find the H9, with its one knob, six character display and a few switches, a bit restrictive. From the start, the H9 was designed with the intent of pairing it with a rich remote control app. That’s H9 Control: Our free app for iPhone/iPad, Mac OS X and

Windows. H9 Control can connect via Bluetooth or USB to your H9. If you’re doing lots of tweaking or creating presets, we urge you to try out H9 Control as it can greatly simplify the process of creating and managing presets.

All algorithms have a Performance Switch which gives you the ability to instantly change the sound of the effect using a MIDI CC, Auxiliary Switch or H9 Control. The function of the

Performance Switch depends on the algorithm. In H9 Control the Performance Switch is the middle button at the bottom of an algorithm's control interface.

Most time-based parameters, such as delay, change their displayed values as Tempo mode is turned On or Off. When Tempo is On, the parameter is a note value, such as 1/4 note, that is a tempo-synced division of the beats per minute (BPM). When Tempo is Off, the parameter is either (a) time in seconds or milliseconds or (b) frequency in Hz.

In some cases changing one parameter may affect the displayed values of other parameters.

For example the Chorus algorithm has four types, Liquid Chorus, Organic, Shimmer and

Classic, and switching between the different chorus types affects the functions of the other parameters. There is more information about the relationships between various parameters in the documentation for each algorithm.

Space Algorithms

Space’s basic algorithms are designed to simulate the sound of real-world enclosures and devices – halls, rooms, plates, springs. Other algorithms are designed to creatively combine reverb effects with other signal processing functions such as tremolo, modulation, distortion, pitch change, resonance and reversal to create unique effects well beyond the confines of simple reverb.

Performance Switch/HOTSWITCH

Each algorithm supports a Performance Switch function which gives you the ability to instantly change the sound of the effect using a MIDI CC, Auxiliary Switch or using H9 Control. For

Space algorithms the Performance Switch can be programmed to instantly switch between two sets of parameters. This HOTSWITCH allows you to switch between the normal Preset parameter values and a programmed, alternate set of parameter values. It’s like having two

Presets in one!

The HOTSWITCH is programmed using H9 Control. Press and hold the GUI’s middle

‘footswitch’ until the ring flashes. With the ring flashing, adjust any combination of parameters to their ‘alternate’ value. When you find a setting that you like remember to save the preset or you will lose your new HOTSWITCH setting.

Some reverb parameters, typically decay parameters, can have values of Infinity or Freeze.

Infinity is infinite sustain/reverb, which builds up over time, it continues to layer your input through the reverb. Freeze is like Infinity, but it doesn’t build up. Freeze takes whatever is currently in the buffer, and holds it (no new input). You can latch or unlatch the Infinity and

Freeze features with an Aux switch, HotSwitch, expression pedal or over MIDI.

Hall - [HALL]

Hall simulates the sound of large enclosed spaces. Hall offers flexible control of a 3-band crossover reverb network. There are independent decay controls for the low and high band, as well as independent level controls for low, mid, and high band. This is the go-to algorithm for beautiful realistic spaces or for reverb sounds just beyond the boundary of realism.

Room is designed to dial in realistic room sounds from vocal booths to small halls. The controls allow for precision tweaking of early reflections, late reverb, and EQ. Room is the workhorse algorithm for placing a sound in a realistic space or adding that subtle fattening that isn’t immediately noticed but is always immediately missed.

Spring models the sound and character of the popular artificial reverbs found in guitar amplifiers.

It also goes a step further by allowing access to physical parameter controls not readily available in a real spring tank. By tweaking these parameters, the Spring algorithm can create faithful representations of real springs or push the physical boundaries to achieve new distinctive sounds. Pay extra attention to the [TNSION] and [NUMSPR] knobs to control the amount of ‘sprionginess’. For good measure, we’ve also included a tube amp style tremolo at the reverb input.

DualVerb - [DUAL]

DualVerb combines two different high quality studio reverbs (A and B) with independent controls for decay, size, pre-delay, and EQ. Mix between both for rich, dense stereo reverberation, or use this effect to smoothly transition between two entirely different reverb sounds. [INF] and

[FREEZE] are available on both decay knobs (Xnob for B-decay). During [FREEZE] the A/B mixer on [FxMix] is post for the frozen reverb – normally it is pre. This allows for a plethora of options to freeze one of the reverbs, or both, and a mix of the two.

ModEchoVerb - [MODEKO]

ModEchoVerb is based on a popular reverb structure from the Eventide H8000 that brought about such presets as "Echo Space of God" and "Glorious Flange Canyon." It feeds the output of an infinite reverb into an infinite feedback delay and slathers on an extra helping of modulation. The modulation choices are H3000-type swept verb, flanging, or chorusing.

Page 9 of 78

ModEchoVerb is incredibly versatile and can be used as a standalone reverb, delay, chorus/ flanger, or any combination of the three. [INF] and [FREEZE] are available on the [DECAY] knob. During [FREEZE] the signal is rerouted to allow for parallel modulation/delay over the frozen section. Have fun.

MangledVerb - [MANGLD]

While the H9 can produce many beautiful sounds, we recognize the universe is a chaotic and often violent place, so in the spirit of the yin and yang of it all, we included MangledVerb from the Eventide Eclipse. Technically, MangledVerb feeds a non-standard stereo reverb into distortion, but sonically it can range from the light friction of a bow scraping a cello string to the mayhem of a caged beast being poked with a red hot flounder. Judicious use of the [WOBBLE] and [ODRIVE] is approved, and try small [SIZE] and short [DECAY] for some surprising sounds.

DynaVerb - [DYNAVB]

DynaVerb couples an Eventide Eclipse reverb with a model of the Eventide Omnipressor® to create an adaptable dynamics reverb. The Omnipressor is capable of all types of dynamics processing from gating, expansion, compression, limiting, and even its signature "dynamic reversal," where loud signals are squashed, but quiet signals are amplified. In DynaVerb, the

Omnipressor can dynamically control the output of a reverberator based on, either the input signal for maximum control, the reverb output for incredible chaos, or any mixture of the two. As an added bonus DynaVerb can also be used as a standalone Omnipressor by setting [DECAY] to zero.

PitchFactor Algorithms

Ten distinctive pitch-based algorithms – Diatonic, Quadravox, HarModulator, Micro-Pitch, H910/

H949, PitchFlex, Octaver, Crystals, HarPeggiator, and Synthonizer.

Performance Switch

The action of the Performance Switch depends on which PitchFactor algorithm is currently running. The Performance Switch can be activated by MIDI CC, Auxiliary Switch or by using H9

Control.

Pitch-based parameters, such as pitch shift, are in cents. One cent is 1/100th of a semitone interval. Positive values make the pitch go up, and Negative values make the pitch go down. For example, “500” cents is a Perfect 4th up and “-500” cents is a Perfect 4th down. Some common values are: 700 cents = Perfect 5th, 1200 cents = 1 Octave, 1900 cents = 1 Octave + Perfect

5th, and 2400 cents = 2 Octaves.

Diatonic Shifter - [DTONIC]

Diatonic pitch shifters track the notes that you’re playing and shift the pitch by the selected harmonic interval based on the Key and Scale that you’ve selected. Diatonic Shifter features twin independently-controlled pitch changers (A and B) with independent delays and feedback.

Diatonic tracks the notes that you’re playing and automatically adjusts the amount of pitch shift so that the resultant note is in-key. Use the PitchA/B control knobs to set each pitch interval. Use the Control Knobs to select the key, scale and interval. Using H9 Control (or if you’ve connected an AUX Switch), you can use Learn mode to set the key. See SYSTEM

Mode section of the H9 User Guide for details on setting up an AUX Switch. Note: Due to the limitations of Diatonic Pitch Shifting, the pitch tracking algorithm is monophonic and works best on single, isolated notes, and octaves.

HarModulator/Chromatic Shift - [HARMNY]

Page 18 of 78

HarModulator combines twin chromatic pitch shifters with modulation to deliver an extremely wide range of effects from the subtle to the insane. Chromatic pitch shifters allow you to set the pitch ratio of each of the voices in semi-tone intervals (12 steps per octave). HarModulator features a six octave range (three up, three down). To get a sense of how to use the modulation function, it’s best to start simply by setting both Pitch A and Pitch B to UNISON, the delays to minimum, and feedback to 0. Now use the Depth control to set the amount of pitch modulation and the Speed control to adjust the modulation rate. Turn selecting different modulation shapes and sources. Note that you can select ENVELOPE as a source and use the dynamics of your playing to drive the modulation. OK, now try that with some pitch shifting, delay and feedback!

H910/H949 - [910.949]

This effect emulates the sound and functionality of Eventide’s legendary H910 and H949

Harmonizer™ effects units. The H910 Harmonizer was the world’s first real-time pro-audio pitch changer and introduced the word “glitching” to the pro-audio vocabulary. The H949 was the world’s first de-glitched Harmonizer. Unlike the Diatonic pitch shifters, pitch shifting is in the feedback loop allowing for arpeggiated repeats. Note: For the purists in our audience, you may remember that the H910 and H949 were mono in, stereo out devices. In other words, they featured a single pitch shifter with independently adjusted delays. To best emulate these vintage boxes, we recommend that you set either Pitch A or Pitch B to unison (1.00) and use that output for feedback without pitch change. Also note that these recreations offer ten times the maximum delay of the original gear.

Of course, given the many orders of magnitude increase in DSP power since the days of the H910/H949, even greater intelligence can be brought to bear in de-glitching.

The [MODERN] pitch shifting algorithm takes advantage of its powerful DSP to further improve de-glitching. Each of these algorithms has a distinct quality and, when combined with various amounts of delay and feedback, offers a broad pallet of pitch-shifting effects

HarPeggiator - [HARPEG]

HarPeggiator creates dual 16-step arpeggios that combine three elements: 1) dual 16-step pitch-shift sequencer 2) dual 16-step rhythm sequencer 3) dual 16-step effect sequencer

HarPeggiator lets you choose from a list of pre-programmed sequences for pitch, rhythm and effect and using the many possible combinations gives you quite a bit of creative control. That writ, it’s important to understand the underlying concepts or you’re likely to spend quite some time scratching your head.

Page 25 of 78

First off, we suggest that you experiment with only one voice (e.g. A) and the pitch sequence only. To do so, turn OFF the rhythm and effect controls. This is important because, by definition, for many rhythms not every step in the sequence is played. For example, you could select a rhythm that divides the 16 steps into four bars of quarter notes and only sounds the first step

(note) of each bar. As a result, although the pitch sequence is 16 steps long, only four notes will sound. Also, use the Scale/Speed control to set an appropriate length for each step so that you can clearly hear the pitch at each step.

Note: If MIDI clock and Tempo are both set to ON, the sequencer will not progress through the steps until a MIDI clock signal is applied.

Pitch

Sequence B

[SQNC-B]

For the majority of pitch sequences each step is a fixed pitch however the H9 has the ability to glide the pitch within any step and this feature is used in several of the sequences. The last sequence [RANDOM] is a random sequence of pitches.

When selecting pitch sequences, it is best to first turn OFF both Rhythm and FX sequences so that the pitch sequence is unaffected by these parameters. As always, your ears are the best judge of what works.

The first several pitch sequences are fairly straightforward.

Here’s a general description of each of these sequences:

1. All steps are one octave up. 2. All steps are one octave down. 3. All steps are a fifth up. 4. All steps are a fourth down.

5. Unison and one octave down. 6. One octave down, unison, one octave up, two octaves up. 7. Two octaves down, one octave down, unison, one octave up. 8. One octave down,

Starts at two octaves down, swoops up to unison and at the 13th step jumps up one octave and ends at unison. 15. Mostly up one octave with a short swoop to unison in the middle, back to an octave up and ending by swooping to unison. 16. Starts at unison, swoops down two octaves, makes a couple of jumps up one octave and ends on unison. 17. Starts at unison, swoops down one octave, jumps back to unison, brief jump up one octave, brief jump to up a fifth and ends on unison. 18. Four quick jumps up one fifth, swooping back down to unison. 19. Swoops from unison up one octave and does it twice. 20. Swoops from up one octave down to unison and does it twice. 21. Starts at unison steps up one octave and steps back down to unison. 22.

Staggers its way from unison to up one octave. 23. Similar to

22. 24. Swoops up from unison to one octave up and does it four times. 25. Jumps between unison and octaves and fifths and fourths up and down. 26. Similar to 25.

For those who find the above description less than satisfying the following tables may help. In these tables, the 26 sequences are labeled at the column heads and, for each sequence, the 16 steps are listed vertically. Pitch sequences marked with an asterisk glide the pitch within a step in the sequence and an arrow indicates the step in the sequence that glides and the direction of the glide.

Delay Mix

Delay A

[DLYMIX]

Controls the relative level of the twin delays, Delay A and

Mono Out, with [DLYMIX] = 0, output 1 will have only Delay

A’s contribution. With [DLYMIX] = 50%, Output 1 has an equal amount of Delay A and Delay B. With [DLYMIX] =100, Output

1 will have only Delay B’s contribution. For Stereo output, with [DLYMIX] = 0, BOTH outputs will have only Delay A’s contribution. With [DLYMIX] = 50, Delay A goes to Output

1 only and Delay B goes to Output 2 only. With [DLYMIX] =

100%, BOTH outputs will have only Delay B’s contribution.

[DLY-A]

Sets delay time for Delay A output B from 0 to 3000 ms

(milliseconds). With Tempo OFF, delay is displayed in mSec.

With Tempo ON, delay can be sync’d to the tempo and is displayed as a rhythmic sub-division of the tempo beat value - changing this from 0 to a whole note in common note increments.

Description

Same as A.

Selects the number of bits of resolution. Early digital delays used analog to digital converters with limited resolution. Theory predicts that each bit equals 6 dB of resolution; so that an 8 bit converter would deliver, at best, a mere 48 dB of dynamic range. VintageDelay simulates the effects of limited resolution the sound of nasty digital noise from years gone by.

Controls level of Feedback A, the number of repeats.

Same as A.

Simulates analog tape saturation. Ranges from ‘0’ (none) to

‘10’ (max) for the warm compression and distortion associated with overdriven tape.

Tape Wow [WOW]

Simulates analog tape Wow. Wow is a term used to describe relatively slowly changing pitch and amplitude modulations caused by problems with the motor or tape transport that causes the tape’s motion across the head to vary. A well maintained tape recorder should have no audible Wow. Ranges from ‘0’ (none) to ‘10’ (max).

Tape Flutter [FLUTTR]

Simulates tape machine Flutter. Like Wow, Flutter is caused when the tape motion across the magnetic heads isn’t constant.

Flutter is a more rapidly changing variation than Wow. Ranges from 0 (no flutter) to 10 (max flutter).

Filter [FILTER]

Controls the filter characteristics to simulate tape recorder frequency response. As you increase the filter value, you’ll hear a more pronounced tape tone.

Looper - [LOOPER]

The Looper provides 12 seconds of mono recording at full audio quality and up to 48 seconds at reduced audio quality. Salient features are: loop recording in seconds or beats, variable speed scrubbing during playback and dubbing (including reverse playback and dubbing), seamless dubbing, real-time adjustment of the loop starting point and loop length, and fullfeatured

MIDICLK sync.

If your H9 is connected to a stereo source, the inputs are automatically summed and the sum is the Looper’s input. The Looper’s output drives both outputs identically.

Since the Looper runs on both TimeFactor and H9, and the H9 utilizes a Two-Footswitch UI as opposed to the Timefactor’s Three-Footswitch UI, the Looper transport controls (Record

● , Play ► and Stop ■ ) have been adapted to run as seamlessly as possible on the H9. The original Timefactor functionality of the Three-Footswitch transport controls is still available via Aux Switch or MIDI CC. Footswitch operation is first discussed in the section 'H9 Looper

FootSwitch Operation', followed by 'Looper Control Parameters', 'Tempo Mode and MIDI Clock

Sync', and 'MIDI CC and Aux Switch Designations'.

H9 Looper Footswitch Operation

Loading a Looper Preset on H9 will always place the H9 directly into Looper Mode. Looper

Mode specifically defines the action of the two Footswitches on the H9. With the Looper algorithm loaded on the H9 (i.e. running a Looper Preset), you can always toggle back to H9

Preset Mode (and vice-a-versa) by pressing and holding the Right Footswitch.

Looper presets can be loaded one of four ways: 1. Via H9 Control 2. By toggling through presets with the Right footswitch with H9 in Preset Mode, and using the Left Footswitch to load a Looper

Preset 3. By hitting the Preset button on H9 and turning the Encoder to a Looper Preset for auto-loading 4. By hitting the Preset button twice and turning the Encoder to auto-load the default Looper Algorithm Preset.

The Looper can be in one of the following states: Empty Recording Playing Dubbing Stopped

Page 44 of 78

Note: After a Looper Preset is loaded, the H9 will be in Looper mode, and the Looper State will be Empty.

In the H9, the three standard transport controls, Record ●, Play ► and Stop ■, are mapped to the two Footswitches (as described below), the Left Footswitch (LFSW) and the (RFSW). While in Looper Mode, the Footswitches, LEDs, and Display will have the following actions, listed for each Looper State:

Empty

When the Looper is first loaded, the loop is Empty, the Display shows [EMPTY], the Active LED is not lit, the Tap LED is off for Tempo Mode OFF or blinks at the BPM rate for Tempo Mode

ON, and the Footswitches do the following: LFSW ● – Press to Start Recording. If autoplay mode is selected [AP:LOOP], loop playback will start when recording reaches the loop end.

RFSW (no transport function) – Used to tap tempo if Tempo Mode is ON. While Tapping, the

Display shows the current BPM, when tapping stops the display reverts to [EMPTY].

Recording

While recording, the Display shows the running record time [R>00.00] or beat count [R>(beats)], the Active LED is flashing, the Tap LED is not lit, and the Footswitches do the following:

LFSW ► – Press to create Loop End and start Playing from Loop Start. The Play Mode setting determines if the Loop is played once or continuously. RFSW ■ – End recording and stop.

Playing

While Playing, the Display shows the running play time [P>00.00] or beat count [P>(beats)], the

Active LED is lit, the Tap LED is not lit, and the Footswitches do the following: LFSW ● – Start

Dubbing at the current Loop time. The Dub Mode setting determines if this switch latches to

Dub [LATCH] or press/holds to Dub [PUNCH]. The Dub Mode setting also determines if the new audio is added to or replaces the previously recorded audio. RFSW ■ – Stop Playing.

Dubbing

While Dubbing, the Display shows the running time [D>00.00] or beat count [D>(beats)], the

Active LED is flashing, the Tap LED is not lit, and the Footswitches do the following: LFSW

● – Stop Dubbing while Playing continues. The Dub Mode setting determines how the Loop is overdubbed. If Dub Mode is [PUNCH], press/hold is the only way to get to Dubbing, and releasing the LFSW transitions back to Playing. RFSW ■ – End Dubbing and Stop Playing.

Stopped

Page 45 of 78

While Stopped, the Display shows [STOP], the Active LED is not lit, the TAP LED flashes at the BPM rate for Tempo Mode or is lit solid for Non-Tempo Mode, and the Footswitches do the following: LFSW ► – Start Playing from Loop Start. The Play Mode setting determines if the

Loop is played once or continuously. RFSW (no transport function)– No action besides going to

Preset Mode (press/hold) and Clearing the loop (double tap).

Emptying the Loop

Double tapping the Right Footswitch during the Stopped State will clear the loop, and transition

Looper to the Empty State. This is the only way to record a new loop using the H9 Footswitch interface. Alternatives that let you record a new loop from the Stopped state are using H9

Control, or an Aux Switch or MIDI CC programmed for the Looper Record action. Note: Double

Tapping to empty also applies to Stop on H9 Control or an Aux Switch assigned to the STP command (See 'MIDI CC and Aux Switch Designations' for more info on Aux Switches).

Preset Mode

Pressing and holding the Right Footswitch, toggles between Looper and Preset Mode. Preset

Mode is for loading a new preset. When using the Looper, you should remain in Looper Mode.

In Preset Mode, the Footswitches do not operate as Looper transport controls. (Note: normal

Tap Mode Functionality of the Right Footswitch is disabled for Looper Presets).

Tuner Access

Pressing and holding both Footswitches puts the H9 in Tuner Mode and leaves Looper Mode.

Tuner Mode is only accessible when the Looper state is Empty.

Loop Play-

Length

[START]

When a Loop is in memory, this sets the Loop Start Point from

0 ms (or beat 1 for Tempo Mode ON) to Loop Length. The Loop

Play-Start Point is automatically set to 0 (or beat 1 for Tempo

Mode ON) at the beginning of a new loop. Note that Catchup is always enabled to prevent the Start point from changing abruptly. When the Loop is Empty, this parameter is disabled.

[PLYLEN]

When a Loop is in memory, this sets the Loop Play-Length for playback that begins at the Loop Start Point. In other words, if a

12 second Loop is recorded and the Loop Start Point is set to 2 seconds and the Loop Length is set to 4 seconds, the recorded

Loop will play from 2 seconds to 6 seconds into the 12 second

Loop. The PlayLength value is automatically reduced in cases where the Play-Start Point moves past the currently set Play-

Length.

The Loop Play-Length is automatically set to Loop Length at the beginning of new loop. Note that Catchup is always enabled to prevent the end point from changing abruptly. When the

Loop is Empty this parameter is disabled.

Loop

Decay Rate

[DECAY]

When dubbing you may want the original saved audio to persist as you add new sounds. Of course, indefinitely adding new signals will eventually result in ‘mud’ (the “Crayola” effect).

The Decay Rate control allows the saved audio to fade as you dub new material. The Decay Rate is adjustable from 0%

[DCY: 0] to 100% [DCY:100]. When set to 0%, the loop never decays. When set to 100% the previously saved audio decays completely each time through the loop when dubbing. In other words, the looped audio is only played once. The Loop Decay

Rate control has no effect on normal Playback, only dubbing.

Dubbing Mode [DUB-MD]

There are four choices that determine the type of dubbing (Add or Replace) and the action of the Footswitch control (Latch or

Punch).

Page 47 of 78

Name in

H9 Control

Name in Pedal

Description

To Dub, press the ● Footswitch while the loop is playing or recording. The action of the ● Footswitch when dubbing depends on the setting of the Dubbing Mode control.

If you want to simply press and release the switch to turn dubbing on and off, set this control to one of the two Latching modes. Dubbing will continue until you press ● (or press record again to turn dubbing off).

On the other hand, you may prefer to Dub only while you’re pressing and holding the ● Footswitch. To do this, choose one of the two Punch modes.

The Dubbing Mode choices are:

[D:LATCH] – ● toggles Dubbing ON/OFF. Dubbed audio is added to the looped audio.

[D:PUNCH] – ● enables Dubbing while the footswitch is held. Dubbed audio is added to the looped audio.

[D:REPL-L] – ● toggles Dubbing ON/OFF. Dubbed audio replaces looped audio.

[D:REPL-P] – ● enables Dubbing while the footswitch is held. Dubbed audio replaces looped audio.

Playback

Mode

[PLY-MD]

Playback mode affects three actions of the Looper: the action when Recording reaches Max-Length, the action when Playing reaches the Play-Length, and the action of the ► switch (Note: for H9 this ► switch functionality is only available via H9

Control, Aux Switch, or MIDI).

[P:ONCE] – Enters STOPPED state when recording reaches Max-Length. During Playback, the audio will Stop when it reaches Play-Length, and ►at any point initiates playing the loop just one time from the loop’s start point

[P:LOOP] – Enters STOPPED state when recording reaches Max-Length. During Playback, the audio loops around to the loop's start point when it reaches

PlayLength, and ►at any point initiates playing continuously from the loop’s start point.

[AP:LOOP] – When recording reaches the Max-Length, loop begins playing automatically and plays continuously.

Note: During loop recording, Resolution will always return to

OCTAVES. This guarantees that the immediate playback speed occurs at the recorded speed.

Varispeed [SPEED]

When the Loop is Empty, the Speed control lets you select the record speed. A negative speed with Empty causes playback to automatically start in the Reverse direction after the loop is closed, either through a ► Play button press or the[AP:LOOP],

[AP:RVDIR] settings on the Xnob / Playback Mode. The choices are:

[SPD: +/- 2X] – Double speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 6 seconds.

[SPD: +/- 1X] – Normal speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 12 seconds.

Description

[SPD: +/- 1/2] – Half speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 24 seconds.

[SPD: +/-1/4] – Quarter speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 48 seconds.

After a loop is recorded, Varispeed controls the speed of

Loop playback AND dubbing over the full range of speeds allowing for continuous real-time scrubbing from one octave up in Reverse Play (-200%), to one octave up in Forward Play

(200%), with a pause (0%) directly in the middle (knob set to 12 o’clock). Play Speed resolution is dependent on the setting of the Depth/Resolution control.

Filter [FILTER]

Controls the tone of the looped audio. Tone control filters are placed at both the input and output of the Looper. This allows you to control the tone of the audio that you’re recording and then independently control the tone on playback. Turning to the left cuts low frequencies and turning to the right cuts high frequencies. For flat response, set the knob to 12 o’clock.

Tempo Mode and MIDICLK Sync

Tempo Mode allows beat-based recording and playback that stays in sync with your Eventide

Stompbox's internal MIDICLK or as a slave to an external MIDICLK. On Timefactor, press the

Encoder to toggle the Looper in and out of in and out of Tempo Mode. On H9, simultaneously press the Right Footswitch and the Presets Button to toggle the Looper in and out of Tempo

Mode.

MIDICLK Slave mode

To slave off an external MIDICLK you’ll need to turn MIDICLK IN to ON in your Eventide

Stompbox's system menu under MIDI-> CLK IN-> ON or OFF, and you’ll need to connect a viable MIDICLK master to your Eventide Stompbox, either over the MIDI DIN5 input or USB.

While in MIDICLK Slave Mode, the Looper will respond to MIDI Start and Stop commands.

These commands are sent by many Drum Machines, Sequencers and DAWs when used as

MIDICLK masters. However, you’ll need to reference your own device or software manual for specific MIDICLK master mode and start/stop command setup guidance. Looper responds to

MIDI Start and Stop commands as follows for each Looper State:

Empty

Page 50 of 78

MIDI Start – Resets the Looper’s internal “beat counter” and causes a ● Record

Footswitch press to sync up to the next beat (See the section on Footswitch Quantization below for more info on this).

MIDI Stop – Stops Loop Playback and goes to the Stopped State.

Stopped

MIDI Stop – no action

Tempo Mode Footswitch Quantization

MIDICLK is made up of a series 24 “ticks” per beat. Tempo Mode quantizes many of the

Footswitch actions either to the next MIDI beat or the next MIDI tick. The quantization action of the Footswitches for each Looper State is as follows:

Empty

● – Starting a new recording syncs to the next beat ONLY if in MIDICLK Slave mode

AFTER having received a MIDI Start command. Otherwise, this begins recording on the next tick.

► – No action.

■ – Only used for tap tempo.

Recording

● – Record to Dub transition quantizes to the next beat.

► – Record to Play transition quantizes to the next beat.

■ – End recording and stop, quantized to the next beat.

Dubbing

● – Dubbing in/out doesn’t do any footswitch action quantization.

► – End Dubbing and Start Playing from Loop Start. This action quantizes to the next tick.

■ – End Dubbing and Stop Playing. This action quantizes to the next beat.

Control Knob Tempo Mode Sync Features

The following control knobs have enhanced features for Tempo Mode and MIDI sync allowing for perfect MIDICLK beat sync even when they change.

Loop Play-Start Point:

In Tempo Mode, the minimum length of audio that can be played out is 1 beat so, the Play-Start

Point will display in beats allowing you start playback from 0 beats up to Loop Length minus 1 beat. For example, if you recorded an 8 beat loop, this will range from 0 to 7 beats.

Changing the Play-Start Point during Playback will apply the next time the Loop comes around and will maintain perfect beat sync with MIDICLK.

Loop Play-Length:

In Tempo Mode, the minimum length of audio that can be played out is 1 beat so, the Play-

Length will display in beats allowing playback lengths of 1 beat up to the Loop Length. For example, if you recorded an 8 beat loop, the Play-Length will range from 1 to 8 beats.

Changing the Play-Length during in Playback will apply the next time the Loop comes around and will maintain perfect beat sync with MIDICLK. Of course, new Play-Lengths that don’t evenly divide the total Loop Length will cause the loop to “walk” the downbeat, thus creating interesting poly-rhythms against an existing pattern.

Speed / Varispeed:

In Tempo Mode, the Looper always loops about the current Play-Length number of beats in the originally recorded time base, regardless of changes to the Speed. Thus, for slower speeds the loop length will be truncated, and for faster speeds the loop will play through more than once. For example, if you record an 8 beat loop at 1x, then play out 8 beats at a Speed of 50

(.5x), the Looper will loop beats 1-4. Alternatively, if you choose to play at a speed 150, the loop will complete one full cycle of 8 beats, then a half cycle of 4 beats, and continue to loop this

1.5x pattern against the original time base. Please note that this Speed-based sync feature is temporarily disabled while Dubbing, allowing you to dub through an entire loop, and once you exit Dub mode moving back to Play, this sync feature will resume. This ensures that the Looper always maintains perfect timing with external audio, drum machines, etc. while providing the option to layer expressive pitched and poly-rhythmic patterns or even minutely controlled drifts that always come back on the downbeat.

ModFactor Algorithms

Ten distinct modulation effects – Chorus, Phaser, Q-Wah, Flanger, ModFilter, Rotary,

TremoloPan, Vibrato, Undulator, and RingMod. Each of these effects offers a world of possibilities. For example, there are several types of Flangers, Phasers, etc.

These effects use 2 LFO’s (Low Frequency Oscillators) to create classic or FM/AM modulated versions of many popular modulation effects. The primary LFO drives the main effect and is controlled by the three parameters, Depth, Speed and Shape. The secondary LFO in turn modulates the Speed and Depth of the primary LFO. The S-Mod knob controls the amount of

Frequency Modulation applied to the primary LFO and the D-Mod knob controls the amount of Amplitude Modulation.

With S-Mod/D-Mod turned OFF, high quality renditions of classic modulation effects are created. As the S-Mod/D-Mod knobs are turned up a small amount of movement will be added to the effect to give it a controlled organic feel. Increase the amount of S-Mod/D-Mod for complex and interesting and even extreme modulation effects.

The availability of expression pedal and envelope mod shapes allows the modulation rate to be controlled dynamically by your playing as well.

Chorus - [CHORUS]

Chorus is an effect that is designed to take a single voiced instrument and give it the sound of many instruments playing together. This is achieved through randomly modulating several delay lines to create pitch and timing imperfections and then panning these voices in the stereo field. Three types of chorus effects are supported Liquid Chorus [LIQUID]. Organic [ORGNIC],

Shimmer [SHIMER] and Classic [CLASIC].

Phaser - [PHASER]

Phaser is an effect created by a series of all pass filters (phase shifters). When the output of the filters is mixed with the dry signal sharp notches are created in the frequency spectrum of the output; by modulating the center frequencies of the filters the notches move giving a sense of motion to the effect. Four types of phasing effects are supported Positive [POS], Negative

[NEG], Feedback [FEEDBK], Bi-phase [BIPHAZ] and PhaseX0 [PHASX0].

RingMod - [RINGMD]

Ring Modulator is an effect created by multiplying an input signal by an audio frequency waveform; the result is a waveform containing the sums and differences of those frequencies and their partials. This creates a waveform with complex (and usually nonharmonic) bell-like overtones. By using the S-Mod control to modulate this carrier frequency you can create useful and interesting sounds. By engaging the Sync to Tempo/Pitch feature, the LFO rate control displays note values instead of Hz, by selecting the tonic of your scale or something similar you

Page 65 of 78

can ensure that the output of this process will be harmonically related to the notes you play. The

Depth parameter slightly detunes the right and left voices creating a stereo field. Note that the

Mod Rate knob controls Sensitivity for this effect. Two modulation types are supported [RING] and [STRING].

[PREDLY] The amount of time before the taps start, up to 2 secs.

[SPREAD]

The rhythmic spacing of the taps. More negative values will group taps towards the beginning, for a “slowing-down” feeling.

More positive values will group more taps towards the end for a

“speeding-up” delay sound. A zero value will result in constant spacing.

[TAPER]

Controls the fade of the taps. More negative values will increasingly give a fade-up over the taps, and more positive values will give a fade-down over the taps. A zero value will result in equal gain across all taps.

[TONE]

A tone control. Negative values will make darker sounding taps, while positive values will make brighter sounding taps.

[SLURM] Juicy tap slurring/smearing and modulation.

[CHOP]

A pre-tap-machine “chopping’ tremolo OR auto-volume processor. The tremolo has several LFO waveform choices: off [OFF], triangle [TRIANG], sawtooth [SAW], ramp [RAMP], square [SQUARE], or sample/hold [SMPHLD]. The autovolume processor will either do volume swells [SWELL (0-9 input sensitivity control], or a gating effect, called Trigger, that chops off the end of sounds [TRIG (0-9 input sensitivity control)]. There is also a setting for expression pedal control of the pre-tap-machine volume [EXPDL].

[DLYLVL]

Controls the amount of both Delays in the signal path. Can also be used to set the dry to wet blend of delayed signal sent to the Reverb in the series path. With DLY LVL set less than

50, dry signal and Delayed signal are both sent to the Reverb section. After 50, DLY LVL reduces the dry signal sent to the

Reverb allowing only the delay repeats to have Reverb when the control reaches 100.

[DLY-A]

Sets the Delay time for Delay A from 0 to 2500ms when

TEMPO is OFF. With TEMPO ON, Delay is sync'ed to the

TEMPO BPM and is adjusted in note division increments from

No Delay (NO DLY) to a Whole Note (WHOLE) in the most common note divisions.

PitchFuzz - [PTCFUZ]

PitchFuzz is a multi-effects algorithm combining Fuzz, three Pitch Shifters, and two Delays into one, easy to use effect. Fuzz is the first effect in the signal path. The Fuzz gets its inspiration from classic analog fuzz pedals as well as Eventide's own CrushStation and Sculpt algorithms.

The Pitch Shifters come second in the signal path and are based on Eventide's PitchFlex

Algorithm from the PitchFactor pedal. The Delay section is last in the signal path and its lineage can be traced back to the Vintage Delay algorithm in TimeFactor. The two Delays can be added to the entire output signal following the Pitch Shifters or added individually to two of of the pitched voices only, creating arpeggiated type effects.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the Performance Switch?

The Performance Switch allows you to instantly change the sound of the effect using a MIDI CC, Auxiliary Switch, or H9 Control. For Space algorithms, the Performance Switch can be programmed to instantly switch between two sets of parameters. This HOTSWITCH allows you to switch between the normal Preset parameter values and a programmed, alternate set of parameter values.

What is Tempo Mode?

Tempo Mode allows you to sync time-based parameters such as delay to the tempo of your music. When Tempo Mode is On, time-based parameters are displayed as note values, such as 1/4 note, which is a tempo-synced division of the beats per minute (BPM). When Tempo Mode is Off, the parameter is either time in seconds or milliseconds, or frequency in Hz.

How can I create and manage presets?

The H9 can be loaded with over 40 algorithms and presets. The H9 Control app provides you with a rich and intuitive interface that helps you create and manage presets by connecting via Bluetooth or USB to your H9.

What is the difference between Infinity and Freeze modes?

Infinity is an infinite sustain/reverb, which builds up over time. It continuously layers your input through the reverb. Freeze, on the other hand, takes whatever is currently in the buffer and holds it (no new input). You can latch or unlatch the Infinity and Freeze features with an Aux switch, HotSwitch, expression pedal, or over MIDI.

How do I use the HOTSWITCH feature?

The HOTSWITCH is programmed using H9 Control. Press and hold the GUI’s middle 'footswitch' until the ring flashes. With the ring flashing, adjust any combination of parameters to their 'alternate' value. Remember to save the preset or you will lose your new HOTSWITCH setting.
