The time stamps you're using and putting on the left side is great. Really innovative. Stylish production as well. Keep it up!

Been wanting the H9 for a long time... and after your video I NEED it. Really wonderful what it makes out of a simple sound!

I like the slower pace you seemed to talk about functions. Made it easier to understand. Thanks!

Fantastic video. I've had mine for a few weeks and love it but this review will have me exploring more of the features. Thank you.

Agreed with Noir- you’re my go-to Synth Jedi when I’m researching a possible purchase or need an in-depth walkthrough, bud! Thanks as always and keep up the excellent work! 😎👍

As usual you’ve created another stellar review.

You have just convinced me to buy one, best review on H9 I have seen, well done!

this machine is addictive. thanks again for such a thorough review.

I've been drooling for the H9 for years, thank you for making the best video about it. eventide sounds so clean and smooth. problem is all my vst plugs, but i will do it one day for the live factor.

Best review I´ve ever seen from de H9 Max. Thank´s!!!

A simple thank you, hardly expresses how much this helped me, and likely others new to the H9

"Please forgive the following cliche". Loved it. That shit is like a pinch harmonic. It just always sounds cool.

Thank you for this demo!

dude that opening riff really sold me!! holy shit

Great guide through a complex one.... owning it, but now understanding it 😀 again a perfect and very sympathic video. Thank you so much for all of these! Great to have such hands on tests, docs, how to‘s and comparisons made by one who not only checks the materia! But furthermore can talk about it didactically, almost like a good friend giving some hints... 👍 keep on!

love this review, love this pedal. you are one of my favorite channels ever! keep at it ziv!

Thanks for this awesome video! This H9 looks like a perfect for for synth works!

lovely review! enjoyed it very much and will have to buy one now

Thank you very much for this video!!! It really explains the capabilities of the H9 and makes all other videos about H9 irrelevant. I´m totally subscribing you!

Nice...glad to see this highlighted for synths. It's a great tool. Liked my first one so much (H9 Max), I bought a second one (H9 Core), which was cost-effective because I could then use all the algorithms from the Max in either one. I'm not crazy about needing an iPad or computer to do deep edits, but it's a fair exchange to keep the footprint small.

Lurrrvee mine as well! Early this year I added the Evenmidi controller to my setup and I find myself using the H9 “EVENMORE” so now.

Got one yesterday and it does what it says on the box. Max!!!!

I bought two of them, and I use both for my guitar setup, as well as my synth setup - love it so much!

OMG! The rabbit hole just got deeper!

I burst out laughing watching this just thinking about all the fun I could have running my synths and keyboards through this box! Well done review, I was already convinced but I'm way more excited now.

I've owned this pedal for years and still come back to this video for inspiration. I'd love a followup with more presets featured!

I bought aH9Max years ago.... it’s in my effects loop of my main guitar rig, it’s totally insane. I sometimes use a small practice amp because I know ill play around with the H9 too much instead of practicing. It’s just crazy fun. And Eventide keeps sending free new algorithms Hotsawz and the Harpaggeator were the two last. Awesome, the pedal that keeps getting better.

Another excellent video, many thanks.

Really eye opening review

I’m watching this again man this was good

Thank you another great video!

This is SO much better than the demos using guitar! I was torn between this multi-unit and a Big Sky/Timeline combo, but this vid has sold me on the H9 Max! I was concerned about the software interface being clunky or crippling, but seeing this demo cleared it up and removed any concerns. Thank you.

@@TheRealAudioDidact I love the H9. I use my smartphone and tablet to control it. A little picky with the Bluetooth but eventually got all the kinks worked out. My only complaint is there are too many choices and parameters lol. Kind of makes it feel like a plug in. The onboard controls are minimal and I never use them to be honest. So if you dont want to be tied to your phone, tablet, or PC, the H9 may not be for you. If you want a do it all efx processor with great quality sound then yes it's a keeper.

Great review thanks

What a fine presentation, thank you! It comes without a show, which is cool, IMHO. As an Arturia MatrixBrute player (or should I say, 'addict'?), I was in doubt whether to get an external FX box or not. Well, not anymore. I habe ordered mine shortly.

Great video. I'll add here: Once you have one H9 MAX, you can license up to 4 more H9 cores as MAX versions, effectively giving you up to 5 MAX H9's. I'm currently running 3 of them. Alarmingly powerful.

Super sweet ep

perfectly pedagogic review the h9 max is for me

Awesome review indeed! Like all yours anyway :-) I'm turning around quality effects for my synths for months years may be, around this one in particular… It's a big investment but if I add a couple of Strymon or Meris pedals to obtain a quite similar set up in term of quality, I don't get the quantity, only the chaining ability… It's a real dildemna!

haha dude, i only got to this today but man I lol'd at 0:50, how dare you hook us like that! ;P SO awesome.

It's a fun machine, the sounds very cool. Must have 😉

Let me just grab a big mug of green tea and tuck into a blanket. OK. I'm ready. Press play.

It seems Mr Loopop is getting more and more recognition for his nice videos. Interested parties should check out his classic two-part series on standard synth tricks demonstrated on the Microbrute. Always an emphasis on explaining the concepts and pushing the machines a step further! Pedagogical even if you're not interested in a particular piece of gear. A+++

Great review as always.

12:32 these little arpeggiator melodies are beautiful. Hopefully there will be a load of H9s appearing on the second hand market now hahah!

Magic effects box! It sounds great. Turn any any synth sound into another maybe better sound. Very handy to use the ipad control software.

I was gonna get some of the TC Electronic plugins with usb controllers instead of the H9 but it seems like a few H9’s will do all that and more. If you buy one fully loaded H9 you can get up to 3 more base units that will have access to all of the algorithms. 4 H9’s will cost about the same as the TC Electronic plugins but be vastly more flexible and wonderful. So thanks for helping me make the right choice...

It would be great if you could upload another video with more different synth patches. I am in the need of outboard effects and have been waiting desperately for the H9 but honestly I found it pretty cold and digital sounding, especially the reverb.

Great video .. Im a synth user and this video really sold the H9 to me so I just ordered one :) Thanks for posting

Wonderful video. I was deciding between the Strymon and H9 pedals about six months ago and ultimately went with Strymon. Had this video been out then, it would have likely changed my decision. I still love my Strymons, but the PitchFactor and H9 exclusive algos seem very interesting.

Same here. I got the Strymon trifecta (timeline, big sky, mobius) 3 days ago. It's an amazing combination! They've opened up a whole new sonic door for me. No complaints whatsoever. But if I had seen this video, I would have had a harder time deciding and made a more educated decision. For my next gear purchase, I guess I'll have to wait for Loopop to review it. Such great reviews!!

Perfect timing! I just bought this a couple days ago after Guitar Center wouldn’t stop spamming me with coupons :) stayed up way too late playing with this and my microbrute (was too lazy to switch around my audio cords coming from my main eurorack case!). Seems like it would be a fun weekend arduino project to build a tiny midi box with a bunch of knobs!

Great vid!! Its great to watch/hear synths played into these machines, specially with such a high production value! I just watched your analogue heat vid as well and i was wondering... which of the two would you recommend me going for? I know theyre different beasts, but they stand in the same ballpark quality and moneywise, and also i already have a delay and a reverb. Im in need of a true stereo overdrive + modulation fx. I was going head first for the heat, but the h9 sounds creamy and sweet... and its slightly less pricey... any thoughts? Im mainly using a dsi tetra, but plan on using whatever fx machine for general signal processing as well.

Maybe for synthesists at home who are on a budget they should consider the ZoomMS70CDR pedal. Multi-effects in any series configuration, limited to DSP processing power; so on average about 4 effects simultaneously. I finally bought one this year, I delayed purchase because of all the mixed reviews. For recording synthesizers the Zoom is fantastic, sounds great, and you control the chain of effects in any order and parameter you wish. Cost: $150.00.

@@seancraig5373 Not cheap, but if you buy one of the pedals, your license actually allows you to buy the "core" pedal, and license it as a Max so you have more than one. So you could buy 1 H9 Max, then buy a core later and add it to your account, having two maxes.

Not gonna lie, what you play at 23:37 gives me chills, that could totally be the foundation of like a Pi'erre Bourne/Playboi Carti kind of beat.

Matrixbrute’s such a beast, and the h9 such a beauty. One thing that drives me crazy when you explained the midi mapping, that means that you can sequence the h9 from the matrix of the arturia, with its sequencer lfo’s etc and create a step sequenced fx line on top of the MB sounds , while a dfam is clocked by the MB , since there’s a sync cv out on the MB patchbay.......i have to try this tonight.

To the rescue! Yes of course you can sequence the H9 with a midi sequencer or a daw. You can also control its parameters with MIDI. Regarding sequencing from the Matrixbrute - using what - the mod row in the sequencer? Even if so that would only be one parameter. A Digitone/Pyramid/DAW etc would be more appropriate for that - and yes you could record the motions into a daw from the MB

Hi! I finally gave up for one of these… Browsing all the presets is a journey in itself and some are just astounding e.g. some pads from my old JX3P get huge breadth! But I have some difficulties with the Freeze and Infinity functions: are theu available for every presets and the way to get to them is not that easy. I'm still a newbie to this device though!

Moden day question: H9 Max, Mod Duo X, or Empress Zoia? The Zoia seems much more deep / programming / tweak focused. Mod Duo seems in the middle, and the H9 seems ready, usable but customizable. Purely synth over here, wanting effects to all of my various synths.

An expression pedal could free your hand from the knob, very useful.

I use a Zoom MS-75CDR [for guitar as well] and an old Digitech 2112.

I'd like to get one.

Can you use the Pitchfactor and Timefactor to bounce back specific frequencies of your choice, e.g. whole number multiples of the fundamental, i.e. the overtone series?

Thanks for the video. I have a question regarding midi mapping. How do you access the midi learn function to make an external synth knobs be able to control H9 functions?

Is left input right in those cables? I thought they where other side around? 1- LEFT, 2- RIGHT?

I picked one up yesterday. I was a bit miffed as to why numerous people claim the delay's in the H9 aren't very good. I would say they are as good or better than the Timeline.

hi loopop. is there way to use the pedal with the plugins in the daw without a midi kabel?? i have the max but don't know to use it digitally...

Great review as always thanks. I’m wondering how you can sync H9 patch changes with other midi pedals/synths - or another H9. The H9 app seems to have a good live set list patch changing feature. If it translates across other midi capable devices I’d be sold on it.

Does anyone know if you can control multiple H9s from a single iPAD please?

I do agree with the comments which give yu top notes and directly come to my questions: seeing the compfortable connection H9 and tablet i wonder which reason might exist to buy an eclipse and spend lots of money. Is it the possib to chain some algos at a time ? I cant think that a top player in the market like eventide would push an product out of market. Second regarding the maxibrute: beeing hyped as a very big one, a bolide, etc it is now very quiet with the „bolide“ living low in the shadow of prologue, prophet-x, quantum and all above moog one (sic!) ?

if you were to buy a used H9 Max and later on pick up a couple H9 Core, is it a straightforward process to access all of your H9 Max Algorithms with both the core units? From what I’ve heard, Max algorithms are tied to the pedal, not your account - so not sure how that works w/ cores.
