Hi there,
I know that when creating a new loop, there are two options to end that first loop. Either by pressing record or the play button.
I just noticed that with the first option, my 95000 (under v.1.14 and in Quantized mode) has a bit of a hickup when going back to bar 1. This doesn’t happen with ending the loop by pressing the play button. I am assuming this is in part because it keeps recording. But I was under the impression that in quantize mode, as long as you hit after beat 2 (in a 4 4 bar), the loop smoothly goes back to bar 1. I tried this with hitting record at different kind of times.Another issue, totally unrelated:
I use a midi controller to controll the 95000 by hand, which works pretty well. However, I noticed that when I set a tempo with my external controller, the 95000 overrides this and goes back to the last tempo it received from the EHX board itself, not the external controller. This is a bit of a nuissance because I don’t want to have to kneel down to adjust tempo. Being able to program my controller to send CC for tempo and also tap tempo should mean that I can actually use this…Thank you in advance,
cheers

Do you have version 1.14 on your 95000? If not it can be downloaded from this link: https://www.ehx.com/assets/ehx-95000-firmware-v1.14.zip
July 5, 2019 at 2:48 pm #125353Annette_BParticipantHi, yes I’m on 1.14. Thanks, looking forward to learn what you’re finding out.
July 9, 2019 at 3:15 pm #125368Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorRegarding the first problem you encountered, ending new loop recording with Quantize enabled, the way the 95000 works is when you press either the PLAY or REC footswitch after the second beat of a bar, the 95000 continues to record to the end of the current bar. At the end of the bar it sets the loop length and either begins playback (when REC is pressed) or overdub (when PLAY is pressed) immediately. If you press either footswitch within the first two beats of a bar, the 95000 truncates the loop length to the end of the previous bar and immediately begins playback or overdub.
For the second issue, are you sending MIDI CC 27 values to the 95000 to set its tempo?
July 9, 2019 at 4:11 pm #125369Annette_BParticipantHi, thanks for getting back.
“ending new loop recording with Quantize enabled, the way the 95000 works is when you press either the PLAY or REC footswitch after the second beat of a bar, the 95000 continues to record to the end of the current bar.

However, when I press REC after beat 2 to stop and set the loop length, the loop always ends with a few (perceivable) milliseconds of silence and it sounds like a hickup every time it loops back to 1. If I press PLAY to stop and set loop length (and yes, going on to record onto Track 2), I don’t get this problem.
“For the second issue, are you sending MIDI CC 27 values to the 95000 to set its tempo?”
–> Yes I am.
July 9, 2019 at 5:31 pm #125370Flick (EHX Staff)Moderator1. Aah, I understand now, sorry it took a minute. The 95000 crossfades record start and record end so that now click noises are created when the loop cycles. This crossfade ends up being a perceivable silence at the loop cycle point. You don’t hear this when you press PLAY instead of REC because after pressing PLAY, the 95000 immediately begins recording on to Track 2 as soon as the loop ends and cycles. The sound recorded on to Track 2 masks the crossfade silence heard on Track 1. If you were to push the Track 2 fader down, which mutes Track 2, you would hear the crossfade on Track 2.
2. MIDI CC 27: What are you using to power the 95000?
July 9, 2019 at 6:27 pm #125371Annette_BParticipantOk thanks for the response – is this something that might be addressed in a future update? For now I don’t mind using the PLAY button option but it would be nice if this wasn’t a necessary workaround.
I’m using the original power supply.

For the MIDI CC 27 issue, try setting the TEMPO slider to either its top most or bottom most position. After you do this, does the 95000 continue to reset the tempo after you send the MIDI CC message?
July 9, 2019 at 6:50 pm #125373Annette_BParticipantI tried both, leaving the 95000 tempo slider’s upmost and downmost positions and adjusting tempo via midi CC. Once I hit New Loop, tempo still goes back to lowest or highest (30 or 120bpm) as set with the 95000 tempo slider.
July 16, 2019 at 12:26 am #125388Annette_BParticipantAny other ideas?
July 16, 2019 at 5:03 pm #125390Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorSorry we haven’t gotten back to you. We have to check this same scenario where the tempo changes upon pressing New Loop.
September 5, 2019 at 6:59 pm #125508Annette_BParticipantHi again
Have you had the chance to try this? -
