Simulate Long tap and double tap for H90 looper

MIDI Control Eventide
,
1

Hello,
I’m new here with my MC6 pro and my H90.
I would like to assign 3 footswitchs on my MC6:

  • first one:Press once to record on my H90 (Looper Basic preset) and Press again to play the loop
  • second one: to simulate a long tape on the H90 to undo/redo
  • third one: to simulate a double tap on the H90 to stop playback

How can I do?
Thank you!

Hi. We have 2 videos below that should be helpful to you. The first explains how to use different actions on the MC6. The second explains how Eventide handles MIDI mapping for external MIDI control. The H9 is used in the video, but it works the same for the H90. The only difference is the H9 has a mobile app while the H90 currently only has a desktop app.

thank you but that’s not really my question
i want to simulate a long press and a double tap on the H90 with just a press on the MC6pro

That is even simpler. Program 3 switches to each send a unique CC message triggered by Press. Then assign each of those CC numbers to the functions you want to control on the H90. The H9 video still applies in this case.

If you are unsure of how to program the MC6 PRO to send the CC messages, you can watch this video:

I think I know how to assign CC#, but each time I assign CC# in the looper of the H90, the looper stops to work.
I press and hold any of the LED buttons (P/A/B) in PERFORM MODE in the 3thrd page where you can fin REC, PLAY and STOP.

I assign :
CC50 REC
CC51 PLAY
CC52 STOP
CC53 undo/redo
CC54 ERASE
with the learn function in the H90
but after that, I can not use the looper, even directly with the foot switch of the H90… that’s crazy

Hi,
The H90 Looper needs MIDI messages that look like:

msg 1: CC50 at 127
msg 2: Utility / Delay at 20 ms (seems to be the minimum needed)
msg 3: CC50 at 0

This is for your REC function, the same goes for your other Looper assignments.
If you send the CCs without the corresponding "“Delay at 20” and “at 0”, the H90 stops responding to the next CCs you send (probably waiting for a “at 0” message that never happens).
You need to reload your H90 program before testing this.

Another option is to set one switch to send “CC50 at 127” on press, and “CC50 at 0” on release.

HELLO,
thank you! that’s seems to be the best solution if I use looper in tempo mode OFF,
but if I try to switch to tempo mode ON, with midi clock synchro, nothing works…
I mean, even the looper with H90 foot switches stop to work once I select tempo mode ON…
do you know why?
