Getting Started
This manual is for a the Preset Tool for the Eventide H9000 available at https://godlike.
com.au/index.php?id=420. This software is used to reassign presets to algorithms, if
algorithms are moved, or if user or custom algorithms are installed in a different location to
where they were when the presets were created.
Within the preset structure, reference is made to the bank and algorithm ID to which the
preset should be applied. Without this tool it is not possible to get presets to associate with
the correct algorithm unless that algorithm is installed at the same algorithm location.
There will also be a copy of this manual in PDF format. If you lose your copy of the les,
please contact us at https://godlike.com.au/index.php?id=contact and we will be happy to
send you another copy, or re download the algorithm from the link above. This manual will
be available within the zip le.
Installation
Installing on Windows
• Unzip the H9000 Preset Tool.exe from the zip le into a suitable location on your hard
drive.
• This program relies on gzip being installed on your system and available from all
command prompt location. For the geeky among you, a PATH needs to be set to the
location of gzip.
• gzip for windows is available here - http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/gzip.
php. Install gzip following the instructions available there.
• If you installed to the default location, gzip will be available from C:\Program Files
(x86)\GnuWin32\bin. We need to set a path to this location. If you have installed gzip
to another location, take note of that location, for the next step.
• On the Windows taskbar, right-click the Windows icon and select System.
• In the Settings window, under Related Settings, click Advanced system settings. ...
• On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. ...

Installing on OSX
• Unzip the H9000 Preset Tool.app from the zip le into a suitable location on your hard
drive.
• Gzip is build into OSX so no additional steps are required

Using the Program
• Prior to running the program select a location for the presets to be modied. This
location should be a new or empty directory, specically used for this tool. We
recommend that no other les are in this directory.
• Copy the preset les into this directory. Preset les have the extension .9kp
• The tool will convert all .9kp and assign a new algorithm number to ALL preset les
in the directory. The original les will remain unmodied. New modied les will be
created in a subdirectory named “converted” which will be created by the tool.
• It is recommended that conversion of presets for one algorithm is done at a time. Do
not attempt to convert presets from one algorithm to another. This may cause issues
with the H9000, including crashing the unit, or the presets may simply not load.
• Presets created for factory installed algorithms will almost certainly not require this
tool. This tool is most useful for presets created for after market or user algorithms
created using VSIG. These algorithms can be installed to any location chosen by the
user, however presets will not load unless the algorithm number matches the algorithm
number saved internally in the preset.
• If the algorithm is already installed in the H9000 make a note of the number of the
algorithm. User algorithms start at location 10100. The rst 3 numerals (in this case
101) represent the algorithm Bank. The last 2 numerals (in this case 00) represent the
algorithm number within this bank.
• If the algorithm is not already installed, install it via VSIG, Emote or from the front
panel, and make a note of the algorithm location.
• Open the H9000 Preset tool by double clicking on it.

• Basically you work left to right.
• Press the Scan button. This will allow you to choose your directory created above where
your presets are located. This step may take a few seconds to run.
• Press Read Info, to read information from the presets. The information will be presented
in the large text box.
• Check that the Algorithm Name matches the Algorithm name on the H9000. The
original preset location will be shown. In the image above, the original location of the
algorithm is 10117.

• Specify the actual algorithm bank and number from your H9000. For example if you
had installed our Stereo Summing Mixer w Drive 6 algorithm to location 10103, set
the bank to 101 (click on the box and type 101 and then press Enter) and the New
Algorithm Number to 3.
• Once these are set, press Execute! This will run through all of the presets and update
the Algorithm Number for all of the presets in the directory. Once this is nished an
information box will tell you when it is complete and the location of the new presets.
Copy these onto your USB drive to install on your H9000, or open them with Emote for
installation on your H9000.
• If you wish to back up the presets, simply copy them from the converted directory to a
location of your choice.
• Note, while you can select different presets in text box, this has no impact on the
operation of the program. This facility may be utilized for additional functionality in the
future.
