The project team has not yet produced a working demo for their concept. Their ability to successfully produce a prototype may be affected by product development or financial challenges.
Will EHX x9 guitar pedals have MIDI control? Help us to realize this idea!
We have already developed MIDI modules for EHX POG2, Cathedral, Ravish Sitar and Ring Thing pedals that are used by musicians worldwide. Many musicians ask us about the control module for EHX x9 pedals. They have another control principle and thus another HW module and firmware has to be developed.
MIDI controllers
Our company Microdesignum s.r.o. produces MIDI controllers for guitarists and we also focus on MIDI modules for Electro Harmonix guitar pedals that have no MIDI control. We have already developed MIDI modules for EHX POG2, Cathedral, Ravish Sitar and Ring Thing pedals that are used by musicians worldwide. We have developed the MIDI modules that a musician is able to simply build into his pedal by himself, or we also offer the new pedals with the built-in MIDI control.
MIDI controller for x9 pedals
Many musicians ask us about the control module for EHX x9 guitar effects. These pedals have another control principle and thus another HW module and firmware has to be developed. We need $3000 USD for such development.
The new MIDI module will allow to musicians to entirely control the x9 guitar effects including the ON footswitch, the program selector (1-9) and the control knobs (Dry, Organ, Mod, Click in case of C9 pedal).
Advantages of remote MIDI control
The x9 pedals with MIDI control can be mounted in rack and they can be controlled remotely by a MIDI foot controller or by a computer. The program number (instrument type) and its parameters can be changed by single pressing a footswitch on a MIDI controler. No manual turning the knobs during live playing is necessary.
Moreover, the parameters such as MOD or CLICK can be controlled in real-time by an expression pedal or by control data from a computer.
Variants
1. Compact variant: can be mounted on the top of the x9 pedal.
2. Rack variant: the x9 pedal is screwed at the rear side of the 1U rack panel.
