Channel

Select the MIDI channel (1-16) on which the H90 receives and transmits.

Receive Omni

Turn this on if you’d like the H90 to receive MIDI from all channels simultaneously. This setting overrides the receive channel, but the H90 will still transmit on the configured channel.

Output Mode

  • Off: No MIDI information will be transmitted to the MIDI output.

  • Transmit: H90 will transmit Program Change, CC, and MIDI Clock information from the DIN MIDI output. MIDI will not be passed thru from the DIN MIDI input.

  • Thru: MIDI information from the DIN MIDI input will be sent to the DIN MIDI output. H90 will not transmit MIDI information.

Clock Source

Configure the H90 to use the DIN or USB input as the MIDI clock source. Set Tempo Source to MIDI in the Tempo Menu to sync the H90 to this clock source.

PC Offset

By default, the H90 will transmit and receive Program Changes using PC numbers 1-100. Enabling a PC Offset on the H90 will make it transmit and receive Programs Changes using PC numbers 0-99. When using other MIDI devices that use PC numbers starting at 0, set PC Offset to 1 so the PC numbers match on all of your devices.

Global Control

MIDI Global Control allows you to define MIDI control messages that will always affect the H90, regardless of which Program is loaded. For example, if you always want CC #5 on your MIDI controller to control Quick Knob 1, you can configure this using the MIDI Global Controls.

  • Parameter: Use Quick Knob 1 to select a parameter.

  • CC #: Use Quick Knob 2 to select a CC # to control the currently selected parameter.

Note

Check out the Global Mapping Chart (Section C) for a full list of available mappings.

Transmit

MIDI Transmit allow you to use controllers such as aux switches and expression pedals as MIDI controllers by having the H90 transmit corresponding MIDI CC messages from the DIN MIDI output.
