3.8. Dual Inserts with a DAW or Mixing Console

The H90 is well suited to be used as an outboard effects processor for a mixing console or your DAW. Using Dual Routing allows you to use the H90 as two separate signal processing paths, so Path 1 can be your reverb bus, and Path 2 can be your delay bus.

  • Configure your H90’s Global Routing Configuration (Section 7.1) to use Dual Routing from the System Menu.

  • Connect a stereo pair of Outputs from your mixing console or audio interface to H90 Input 1 and 2.

  • Connect H90 Output 1 and 2 to aux return 1 of your mixing console or to a pair of Inputs on your audio interface.

  • Connect another stereo pair of Outputs from your mixing console or audio interface to H90 Input 3 and 4.

  • Connect H90 Output 3 and 4 to aux return 2 of your mixing console or to a pair of Inputs on your audio interface.

  • Press the Routing Button and turn Quick Knob 1 to adjust the routing position to Pre/Post. When you send audio to aux channel 1 of your mixer, it will be processed by Preset A on Path 1. Audio that is sent to aux channel 2 of your mixer will be processed by Preset B on Path 2.

  • Consult the documentation for your DAW or audio interface for additional instructions to send audio to and from them.

  • Check out Dual Routing (Section 6.2.2) for more info.

Tip

If you’d like the H90’s tempo to sync to an external MIDI device via DIN or USB, navigate to the Tempo Menu (Section 8) and set the Tempo Source appropriately.
