Eventide H90 Expression control with MC6-Pro or MC8

i have searched here and perhaps this pedal is too new, but i’m trying to figure out how to use my MC6-Pro with the new Eventide H90. My confusion may be related to their new non-fixed CC# usage.
I have read the manual, it’s unclear imo and there are so many capabilities hoping someone has done this prior.

My main question is regarding that config that activates the expression pedal to control Preset parameters (Eventide calls them Programs).

My secondary question would be - are there certain variables that are better to control with expression (I realize the alogrithms have sometimes different names for parameters). any tips appreciated.

Thanks



I’ve attached some config snapshots of both devices. I have the Programs working fine, but still struggling to the the preset parameters to adjust via midi CC’s

Hi,
I think you are using the wrong message type. Try ‘select expression message’ instead.

There’s a crossover of messages that you’re trying to encode that could be causing conflict.

A single quick knob can be assigned to multiple functions independently in the H90, not just the one message across multiple quick knobs. This can be done at a global level, too.

The MC8 and presumably the MC6 Pro has an expression message which sends midi which is the message type required.

The Expression 1 setup is broadly correct however only one message will be required if the H90 single knob is assigned.

I know this is an old post, but just wanted to say you can still use the two expression pedal ports on the H90 while using the MC controller connected to the midi port. Makes assigning things to the EP’s much easier and also leaves all your omniports opened up for whatever you might need.

Hello - piggybacking onto this thread hoping for help. I’m trying to control parameters on the H90 via an expression pedal connected to an Omniport on the MC6-Pro.

The expression pedal (Lehle) calibrates fine, but I can’t get it to control parameters. I have assigned an expression message to a preset:

And configured the expression message properly (I think):

And assigned the corresponding MIDI CC# to the parameter on the H90:

When I call the preset on the MIDI controller…expression pedal does nothing. Any ideas on what I’m missing. MANY thanks for any help!

Hi,
to which omniport did you connect the expression pedal? Your screenshot shows that you programmed the expression preset to input one. You’d have to use omniport one.

Thanks very much for the reply. Expression pedal is connected to Omniport one.

Your programming looks good.
Your issue might be related to this:

I think that’s something @james has to look into.
