Phil O'Keefe Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Do you like the EHX MEL9, B9, KEY9 and C9 keyboard emulation pedals? A lot of guitarists do - including me. I've reviewed both the EHX MEL9 and the EHX B9 and was very impressed with both of them. Well now there's a new pedal in the series - ladies and gentlemen, meet the new EHX SYNTH9.

Members t_e_l_e Posted February 21, 2017 Members Share Posted February 21, 2017 just watched it bill again *g* from a technical point of view i'm very interested how these 9 pedal work. what processor they run, what kind of framework has been implemented on it and if ehx has created a complete development kit above it, where they can just program new pedals. which programming languages they use etc... this must be a really powerful plattform they built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 just watched it bill again *g* Bill's a great player and does really solid demos, doesn't he? from a technical point of view i'm very interested how these 9 pedal work. what processor they run, what kind of framework has been implemented on it and if ehx has created a complete development kit above it, where they can just program new pedals. which programming languages they use etc... this must be a really powerful plattform they built I mentioned that in passing in the MEL9 review... While the sounds produced are remarkably reminiscent of the sounds made by a Mellotron, they're not actual samples. So how exactly do the pedals in this series do their magic? While the folks at Electro Harmonix are understandably somewhat hesitant to reveal all of their secrets, they did confirm my suspicions that they're using pitch shifting (a la the HOG and POG) and envelope and frequency filtering, as well as applying some other effects to simulate various keyboard sounds.

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Phenomenal demo as always and I really want to get my hands on one of these. Yeah, I can't wait to try one out. I've already asked EHX about doing a review of it - stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iodine74 Posted February 26, 2017 Members Share Posted February 26, 2017 Wanted the Boss SY-300, but I think this will have to do for budget sake. Granted, it'll probably be like 2 years before I actually get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
