M9 midi capabilities

[BlueViolince]

Can the M9 send exp over MIDI while also sending PC messages? I want to switch whammy 5 settings and switch scenes at the same time, and control the whammy sweep with exp-1 while adjusting eq. Is this within M9 capabilities?

The M9 is not programmable in that sense. The PC messages do not line up with the ones used to control your Whammy. You would have to use an external MIDI controller to control both at the same time. A Line 6 POD 500x would be able to do it.

I have already set my HD500 up to control my whammy. FS5-8 and FS3 are set up on all of my Pod patches for the Whammy presets.  I'm trying to integrate another pedal(M5, at the moment) to adjust EQ settings to correspond with the Whammy settings.  Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve any kind of MIDI translation hardware?  I have a dual expression pedal inbound along with the M5.  Would I be able to connect the dual expression to the Pod's exp-2 and the M5, and use MIDI out from the Pod to control CC expression on the Whammy along with EQ on the M5?

You will still require a MIDI splitter of some sort because neither the M5 or the Whammy have MIDI Thru. Also, you may want to have the M5 and Whammy communicate on different MIDI channels to avoid any confusion.

Yeah, I will have the M5 on its own channel. I really only want it to have expression control from one output of the Source dual pedal, and the pod's exp-2 controlling the whammy's cc. The pc going from the pod to the M5 will only be to switch the one patch on and off.
