Eventide H9 with midi or controller

guitarmansteve77

Hi there, I've just bought an eventide H9 and ideally what I'd like to do is control my amp and strymon möbius with some kind of midi control or similar. 

Im pretty hopeless when it comes to this kind of technology so not sure my best options. I've basically got a H9, Strymon mobius and a timeline going into a Mesa Boogie mark v. Ideally I want to be able to set presets with different effects and delays while at the same time changing the channels on my amps so for example I can go from a nice clean rhythm sound with reverb and chorus to a screaming lead tone with delays etc all with the touch of one button. 

Ive seen things like the gigrig but not sure if that's what I need or if there's other things on the market a little cheaper. 

Any help would be great!

cheers
Steve

You can send program change messages from
an H9 - you wouldn't need a separate controller, possibly just an appropriate midi thru box. It can also act as your master clock for tempo. Eventide pedals are massively powerful in this particular area; they have a higher feature set than almost anything else. I control all my midi effects off my Space - it's controls my H9, my looper and my Moog MF104M.

Depending on how much space you've got, I've been really impressed with the behringer FCB1010 I've been using. You can get them use for dirt cheap.

It can send 5 PC, 2cc messages per switch, plus midi note (which I've not explored) and has two latching switches.

It looks a bit daunting at first but its actually really simple to programme.

I've had it as a floor controller for a rack unit with Mobius, timeline, bypass switcher, source audio eq, and channel switching on victory

I'm selling an FCB1010, if you're interested. It's boxed, in good condition and comes with a couple of aftermarket ROMs. I must put up an ad. for it.

I use a Tech21 midi moose with my H9 for changing presets, works great for me.

Good choice. Awesome loopers. The newer ones are even more awesome

Thanks guys, if I went with the DMC can I set it to change the channels on the Mesa mark v too or would I need something like the voodoo lab control switcher to do that?

Where in the classifieds, I can't find it.
