But, it is also a magnificent pedal for those looking to have all kinds of crazy tweaks and parameters for each sound. For the inexperienced pedal user, this is a great pedal to take out of the box and use in the most basic way. Although this has the potential to be a very complicated pedal, it manages, just like its brother the Nemesis, to put all of that craziness and the insane amount of controls into a package that is incredibly easy to use and understand. Neglect Windows and favor ioapple at your peril.The more you explore this pedal, the more you are surprised by how much you can do. So, it appears that this is actually an issue of poor Windows operating system support and documentation that has been mistaken for a control app issue for months, actually a couple of years, by numerous users. For instance, it only makes sense that right clicking on a parameter knob would bring down the context sub-menu for MAP TO EXP PEDAL, but it does nothing instead requiring a double click (which is not standard Windows protocal to get a sub-menu, right-clicking is). Right clicking on the Hotswitch or parameter knobs does nothing, although it should as a proper function within a Windows app.

“Long-press” means nothing to Windows PC users. Perhaps it is something lost in translation from an apple based system to windows?” This seems to be precisely the problem is that the Hotswitch mapping function and its documentation were based solely on ioapple protocols and failed to consider the fact that the vast majority of computer owners and users are Windows PC based.
#HOTSWITCH READY MAC#
When you enter programming mode, you are modifying the values that the knobs will have when the Hotswitch is enabled.Īfter reviewing all the information posted here and elsewhere the problem seems to lie in what I said previously “Windows PC version please, no use for iphone or mac formats.

Before you enter programming mode, you are modifying the regular knob values. That's why H9 Control enters a special mode when programming the Hotswitch. If you right click on a knob to add it to the mapping, how would H9 Control know what the regular position of the knob should be and what the position of the knob should be when the Hotswitch is enabled? When you are clicking on the knob to add it, it only has one value, but you need two… H9 Control needs to know the regular position of the knob and the position that it should have when the Hotswitch is enabled. I don't think right clicking on the parameter knob to add it to the Hotswitch mapping would work. The position you drag them to while the Hotswitch is flashing is the position that they will go to when the Hotswitch is enabled. You create new Hotswitch mappings by dragging any of the knobs while the Hotswitch is in programming mode, i.e.
#HOTSWITCH READY HOW TO#
The most important functional question remains: how to create new Hotswitch mappings to previously unassigned parameter knobs? Surely the only logical way would be by right clicking on a parameter knob and clicking on MAP TO HOTSWITCH just exactly the same as MAP/UNMAP TO EXP PEDAL, MAP TO X Y Z SWITCH, etc.? (I have had numerous users ask me for help getting this feature to work who could not get it from the documentation.) I can only assume that many users had simply given up on the Hotswitch feature as I had. So, better, much more clear documentation of this function for Windows PC users would have solved this problem for me and numerous users many months ago. It took several tries, but if you place your mouse cursor over the Hotswitch button in H9 for an undeterminate amount of time, sometimes it will get the Hotswitch button to start flashing – I have never been able to get that to occur before – and make it possible to change and save Hotswitch settings.
#HOTSWITCH READY MANUAL#
The long-press and flashing hotswitch note in the H9 Control Manual is so cryptic and incomplete that it is essentially meaningless without calling out “This is meaningless to Windows PC users who will need to keep hunting for what works”! The only thing that matters to me and the vast majority of people is what works in a Windows PC environment. I have not a clue what any ioapple gestures are. Thank you so much, the problem is finally clear.
