trying to wrap my head around integrating the H90 into a dawless rig

[sleewell]

recently got a h90. so far i really like it but it is very complicated and kind of like learning a new language hahahaha. its starting to come together but what i cant yet wrap my pin sized brain around is how to start to integrate it into a rig with a drum machine (erica synths lxr-02) , synth (microfreak), sampler (akai mpc live), and drone noise box (soma lyra 4).

what i would love to be able to do is apply stuff from the h90 to each one on command, obviously without swapping out cables each time. is a mixer the answer? im thinking like a guitar modeler here but would i be able to put the H90 in a loop of the mixer and then choose which path (drum machine, synth, sampler, or noise) gets the H90? or since the h90 has 4 inputs do you just go from each unit into it and sort out the signal paths in whatever program you setup in the h90?


im not even there yet but taking it a step further would you then be able to to use one effect from the h90 on say the drum machine and then the other effect from the h90 on the synth? it'd be so cool is some stuff would get both effects and then some stuff you could split and assign it whatever box/instrument you wanted if that makes any sense at all to anyone lol.



thanks!!!!

It's been a while since i sold my H90 so I don't remember the details, but I often used it as two separate fx processors. Look into routing signals in the H90 and how you can have it as two separate stereo signal paths. It's pretty simple once you get your head around it!

For a simple setup, look into mixers with AUX sends (they are usually mono out and you can return to a stereo channel on the mixer, and a lot of mixers have only one send). They allow you to send the signal from the channels you want into the H90. I have so much gear in my setup that I use patchbays for signal routing, which allow me to plug any of my synths into any of my fx pedals and route them in any order I want to.
