These ten H90 ambient pad/soundscape programs (stereo insert mode) were inspired by Eventide’s UltraSwell program.
Technique is important. PLAY DISTINCT RESTS BETWEEN NOTES to reset the UltraTap gate. Note length is loosely related to swell time. Restated, learn to play the effect.
The reverbs used here are similar but they all have their unique charms. Please check the developer notes for details.
Note that these programs were created using the middle and bass toggle positions of a Les Paul. That does make some tonal difference so try all your pickups and stick with your fav.
These programs use the hotswitches, an expression pedal, and aux switches #4, #5, and #6. Aux #4 is always a 5dB boost. Aux #5 and Aux #6 could be anything, but are always described in the developer notes. My expression pedal is globally linked to P Hotknob. So the P Hotknob functionality is intended to be expression pedal functionality.
The H90 will drive headphones with a guitar alone if you turn the P Out Gain Hotknob to +12dB. So I always set that as the first/left-most hotknob where it is always within reach.
I’ve learned from and incorporated material from innumerable gearheads to build/compile this list. Grateful attribution is provided where possible.
Many thanks to the geniuses at Eventide. The H90 is an absurdly rich resource and powerful tool.
Enjoying these, nice work man!
Thanks for amazing presets!! Really appreciate it! Do you have a buymecoffee link or something??
Thanks for the offer but there’s no need to buymecoffee.
But please do post any new programs you make.
Hey there…I’m running my h90 in dual mode. Just got it.
If I understand you (and the software’s limitations) correctly, this list won’t work unless I change the global settings to insert mode?
As is, you are correct.
However, Eventide’s software can convert lists between insert and dual modes. So if you find that software feature, you can convert this list to dual mode and run it on your unit without changing your unit. Good luck!
Can someone please help, I just got the h90, I’m downloading all of these wonderful sounds but lists such as this one will not produce any sound on my h90, the same thing will happen with other ones where it’ll only play half of presets on the list, can someone please tell me how I can correct this because I really want to be able to play these great sounds that everyone here makes. Thank you.
@ericdmusic Most of my programs are configured to use a stereo insert. If you hear no sound, it is probably because your H90 is not configured for a stereo insert or you have not wired up at least one insert. If so, you prolly need to turn off the stereo insert in the “routing” portion of each program.
Hope that helps.
