GTR ? Guitar Rig glitches in Mainstage

I am running mainstage for all my live guitar sounds without an amp or any back up (brave!!).
Im using an Edirol UA-25 and in Mainstage 2.1.1 using the built in amps / space designer / gtr / guitar rig and Roland FC-300 as my midi foot controller. Its working pretty well although sometimes my CPU does max out if im stupid and scroll through patches too quickly or try and run too many different plug ins on one channel.
One particular problem that Im having that I cant figure out is that sometimes, when I change patches, some of the effects that are open in the previous patch still sound like they are on. For example I change from a patch that is running GTR with a reverb pedal to a patch that is fairly dry sounding with no reverb and just an amp on and yet the reverb still stays on, it then stays on permanently so all my patches have added reverb.
Has anyone encountered this problem before or have any idea how I might fix it?
Many thanks

In Edit mode, in the Screen Control Inspector, check you parameter value settings for patch changes "On Patch Change:" and make sure you have them set correctly. You might be inheriting settings made from the previous patch?
Also, I recommend using some of the other reverbs (silver, platinum, or gold) as they use a lot less resources, and in a live room setting you may not notice a great deal of difference.

  • Using Guitar Rig 5 in MainStage

    Hello all!
    I'm just getting started with MainStage, and so far quite liking the possibilities.
    However, I've hit one thing which seems to be an issue for me, assuming I've understood it correctly. Each patch seems to have it's own channel strips, with it's own AU instruments etc... which to me seems a bad idea. Surely in this state, I will end up having hundreds of AUs running for the same software, which would slow things down?
    On top of that, I'm running keyboard, guitar and vocal through Mainstage. All for me, as I switch what I'm doing depending on the song we're performing (and sometimes mid-song). However, this means I may sometimes want to change a guitar patch while keeping my keyboard the same, or vice versa.
    So, to my question; is there a way to change AU presets without changing MainStage patch? I mainly need to do this with Guitar Rig 5 from NI, but I'd also quite like to do it with Massive and Reaktor too.
    Not quite sure I've worded that very well, so an example:
    I have a MainStage layout set up, which has my vocal going through clean with maybe some EQ etc. I've also got a guitar running through Guitar Rig 5, and my keyboard into Massive. During a song, I start off on keys playing Fat Bass 1 on my keys in Massive for the intro, switch to a distortion for the verse with my guitar, then Fat Bass 2 for the chorus in Massive. Maybe later I'll want a clean guitar in a bridge or something too, with some string hits thrown in from Massive again.
    The way MainStage is set out currently, I'd need a patch for each combination, which would leave me with at least 3 "patches" for one song and three instances each of Massive and GR running. I'd much prefer to just send in a control message to change the presets in Massive and Guitar Rig.
    Running on a 2014 15" MacBook Pro, 2.2GHz i7/16GB RAM/256GB SSD.
    Thanks

    I haven't been able to find a way to get it to work with Guitar Rig yet, but for Massive (and presumably Reaktor) I have found a solution. First, create an instance in MainStage, load it with Massive and load the presets you would like to use into Massive's preset bank. Turn it on so that it will respond to patch changes.
    Navigate to the 'Assignments & Mappings' tab of the edit page. Find the device you want to use to send the MIDI CC messages. If it isn't in the list, click on 'New Assignment', which usually creates an Unmapped assignment in the 'All Devices' list. Click the area where it says No Assignment to bring up the Hardware Input popup menu. Choose your device, assign channel to 1-16, and change Type to absolute. From the number menu, choose the CC number you want to send the patch change. Set MIDI thru to Automatic. Name the input to something like CC to PG01.
    Click on it to highlight the mapping info. In the far left side of the Control Inspector, you'll see a list of items such as Same as Input, Block, etc. You will also see the name of the instance containing Massive. Select it to bring up a list of control parameters, such as Volume, Mute, etc. From the list, choose MIDI Controller. The third item down in that menu is Program Change. Select it.
    You'll see the Parameter values for Program Change. For saved value, select the Program Change number you want to send. Number scheme is 0-127. Now, here's the tricky part that nearly drove me mad before figuring it out. For NI instruments, one of the Range Max or Min numbers must be set to zero and the other to a non zero number. If you want to select PG 0, set saved value as 0, range max as 1 and range min at 0. For any other patch number, set saved value and range max to the same number and set range min to 0.
    Also, make sure that the device thats sending your CC control message is configured as a toggle switch, not a momentary, or else it will send the range min program change number when you lift your foot or finger from the button. If you want to send multiple patch changes, add more mappings and assign different CC numbers to select the patch number you desire.
    An additional benefit is that you can load up a single instance of Massive with as many presets as it can hold and use aliases of that instance for other songs. In this case you would create a new MainStage patch and populate it with an alias of your Massive instance. Set up a separate hardware input (I use logic remote) and rather than setting the number to a CC controller, set it to Any. By entering the same NI mapping parameters as above, it will send the correct PG info to Massive when you select the MainStage patch containing the alias. If you need to select multiple Massive patches from the new MainStage patch, simply assign the CC controllers to select new patch assignments. All that info is freely assignable and saved on a per MainStage patch basis, so your first instance could select the patch (say 0) and use three CC controllers to set patches 1-3. On the next MainStage patch containing the Massive alias, you could set the PG to select patch 4 and those same controllers can be set to select patches 5-7.

  • Guitar Rig 3 and Mainstage

    Am I missing something?
    Guitar Rig 3, in its natural state, has good mapping between MIDI messages and control over parameters in the plugin, even though it's an "audio in, audio out" plugin in general. In my "other" DAW, I can create a MIDI track and assign it to the plugin, and easily get control over Guitar Rig's parameters with a footpedal.
    I have yet to discover a way to do this in MainStage; I can't find a way to tell it to pass MIDI messages to the plugin. I get the choice of an audio track, or an instrument track.
    Plugin Manager lists Guitar Rig 3 as a "MIDI-Controlled effects plugin," but that's as close as I've come to being able to get the pedal to talk to it.
    Please tell me I've overlooked something obvious...
    - donl

    Guitar Rig works the same as any plugin. You first have to create and assign controls in layout mode. Then in edit mode, map the buttons you just created to the various parameters in Guitar Rig.

  • MainStage patches not loading Guitar Rig 4 patches

    I'm trying to use Guitar Rig 4 as a channel strip plugin for live EG performance. Unfortunately Mainstage seems unable to properly recall assigned Guitar Rig patches and/or recall screen mapping for those patches. It seems like it only loads the first GR4 patch. If I open up the plugin I see the correct GR4 plugin name but when I double click it seems to then load.
    I've mapped screen controls to specific editable functions within Guitar Rig 4's patch. Unfortunately after reboot Mainstage patches do not properly load Guitar Rig patches and screen control mapping breaks.
    For instance within a specific Mainstage patch, I have a Guitar Rig 4 patch that has a stereo delay. I screen map to the stereo delay's controllable functions (mix, feedback, etc). I test it out and everything works properly. I save. I restart and then the screen controls lose their mappings.
    So what's up? Is it a user error or a limitation between the two softwares?

    Hi again,
    OK so to map a MS toggle switch to activate an event in a Plug-in like Guitar Rig 4?
    - You have Pedalboard as an insert in the channel strip?
    - You have Guitar Rig as an insert in the channel strip?
    - if so
    - selecect the unassigned button in Manstage edit mode
    -  MS will open the screen control inspector panel below the edit view of your MS edit window
    - In the third tab 'unassined' of the inspector you sohould see columns make sure you're looking at the left most col
    - You will find the name of the channel strip (guitar-1) or something like that - select it
    - The next col will fill with info on the channel strip including the inserts - select Guitar Rig 4- The next col will fill with all the attributes of the Guitar Rig patch you've selected as an insert
    - The list will contain all the controllable attrubutes of the componants that mack up the guitar rig patch.
    - Select the WAH/ON/OFF or what have you.
    - Now the switch in MS will control the ON/OFF state of the WAH efect in that Guitar Rig patch.
    The same process works for rotary knobs so you can have MS contol the ON/OFF function and allow you to adjust say the Gain and Tone of your choosen Guitar Rig effect. Obviously you can use for Amps/effects/Cabs/and even Tapdeck etc.
    Once you have a channel strip set up and your happy with the layout of MS you can save the channel strip and use it in Logic and vise versa - so I have started a library when my guitar and bass patches are channel strips.
    This is because I mix up componants of the various Plig-ins I have say - Pedelboard => Ampdesigner => Guitar Rig 4 => Amplitube 3 => and Redwirez as a single 'patch'. So playing live I use the appropriate 'patch' strip in MS and when recording the I use same 'patch' strip in Logic. 
    Have fun!

  • Mainstage/Guitar rig/ midi

    Hey all,
    So im quite enjoying the pedal board and set up to a midi foot controller.  I dragged 4 pedals and routed them to 4 pedals in pedal board. 
    I do have guitar rig and was wondering if anyone could help me use some of the guitar rig patches in the mix with pedal board so I can use my 4 pedal board stomp boxes and say 2 from guitar rig.  So I would have 6 in total.  4 from mainstage pedal board and 2 from mainstage. 
    any help with routing would be huge.
    thanks all!

  • How do you change presets in plug-in guitar rig 5 with FCB 1010 within MainStage 3?

    How do you change presets in plug-in guitar rig 5 with FCB 1010 within MainStage 3?

    Hi
    Mainstage will not pass through Program Change messages to plugins. I have not succeded with (quick) attempts to get GR to respond to MIDI CC either.
    You might do better to simply make additional Patches (or combinations of Audio and Instrument Patches) rather than try to control GR5 directly.

  • Clicks and pops when running Mainstage 2 with Guitar Rig 5 in Mavericks.

    **I've read that this may be unsolvable but I hope someone can help me**
    Hello everyone,
    I very recently upgraded to the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina as my 2010 Macbook running Snow Leopard is on it's way to Apple heaven. This means I am now on Mavericks and **** is ******, it's my fault for not upgrading sooner so I am to blame in some respects. Here is my issue.
    My set up is fairly basic:
    Mainstage 2.2.2 (I can't upgrade to 3 as the synths we use are not 64bit compatible.. another nightmare due to my lack of upgrading in the past)
    Axiom 64 MIDI controller via USB
    Guitar Rig 5 controller via USB (audio interface)
    In Mainstage we have the L output for virtual instrument parts and the R output for guitar parts. These are globally panned L and R.
    The L output from Mainstage goes through the Guitar rig footcontroller out the L output through a DI and then to the mixing desk. The R output goes through the Guitar rig controller out the R output and straight to the guitar amp. Simple way to do both keys and guitar.
    We never had any problems with this in Snow Leopard. With Mavericks this setup is unusable due to the clicks and pops shooting through the guitar amp. It doesn't matter whether the voume on the guitar itself is turned up or down it's still all "click POP.. CLICK pop pop click" Mainstage just seems to be sending these pops regardless if anything is being played or not.
    When I ran the same session through my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 there was no popping on the virtual instruments so I'm thinking it could be a guitar rig issue.
    Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure a lot of people are finding the same thing... **** I know a lot of people are getting the pops without guitar rig involved. For now I'm going to continue to use my old Macbook but I'd LOVE to have the new one running smoothly!
    Thanks a lot!

  • Guitar Rig 5 MIDI controls won't stay mapped in Mainstage 2

    I am using Guitar Rig 5 as a plug-in in Mainstage 2 for a few of it's effects.  I am trying to map controls (like on/off) for those effects in Mainstage's mapping section.  Everything works fine until I close mainstage.  When I go to reopen my saved concert, the mapped controls are gone and I have to remap them.  Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?  It is very frustrating.  Thanks in advance.

    Ok i had a bit more of a play and here's what mines doing
    If I have a concert with only 1 patch Everything but the on/off buttons stay mapped (as above mentioned)
    however if I duplicate ) the 1st patch (highlight patch 1 and command +D) and re-map the on/off switches and have either the 1st patch or the 2nd patch highlighted when I save, then both patches stay mapped opon re opening the concert.
    So for me by simply having more than 1 patch in my concert the bug dissapears
    Strange but for now its doiing the trick

  • Guitar Rig  and Logic Studio

    The Guitar Rig that is in MainStage;
    How do I insert that into a Logic Studio 8 track?
    I'm assuming I'd start with an Audio track as opposed to MIDI.
    Just can't seem to locate the Guitar Rig - only Guitar Amp Pro.
    Thanks

    I picked up the answer;
    Create an Audio track in Logic with open library selected.
    You will see the mainstage guitar rigs in the library.
    Note that they do not appear when creating a software instrument.
    For those of you interested - this works fine!

  • Controlling a plug-in (Guitar Rig 5)---to changes banks and/or presets

    I am trying to control a guitar plugin, Guitar Rig 5, via bank and preset changes---I am going to to this in Abelton and then use Mainstage for some additional sound features not requiring a sequencer.
    I am a single acoustic player and I use Abelton to play a backing track and control my lighting, but I am having trouble figuring out how to setup up Guitar Rig and my MIDI channels apparently.
    I am looking to be able to change from one guitar patch (like a clean sound) to a dirty sound (lead solo) automatically (eliminating the need to do the foot pedal Riverdance while playing live), but I can’t seem to figure this out after two days.  I see the presets in the list, but for the life of me I can’t seem to make this work.
    I dragged the plug in to a newly created "return" and then attempted to create a two new MIDI channels to perform the desired bank and preset changes.  But this did not work.
    I then dragged the Guitar Rig 5 plugin into a newly created "audio" track, and tried to do the same thing, but that hasn't worked either.  Under the "send to" MIDI section I can select "Guitar Rig" from the drop down, but afterward I can not select the box below---which I would think would allow me to select the MIDI channel I want to sent the command for bank changes and preset changes.
    The goal is to have Guitar Rig 5 changing presets automatically, so I can play through a song and at the appropriate time the GR5 plugin would switch from clean channel to distorted---for example, for a lead solo part.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Using Guitar Rig

    Think I found some limitations on using Guitar Rig with Mainstage. I have also posted this on NI's forums for some sort of resolution.
    It appears, even though you can control just about every other parameter of GR in Mainstage, you are not able to assign a Mainstage controller to a GR controller. Therefore any mappings within GR you have assigned to a controller (i.e. effect on/off, parameter moifier, etc.), you can not set that controller to be set by Mainstage. Also, I see no way to change the GR patch directly within Mainstage as appears to be available on such things as the EXS.
    Also, you are not able to set GR as a software instrument with the guitar input on the sidechain within Mainstage. You still can in Logic Pro, but it is not available in Mainstage. Perhaps this is why those patches and controller assignments can not be controlled?
    Anyone have any idea how to get this functionality working in Mainstage?

  • NI Guitar Rig Pro 4 as a plug -n for Logic Studio/Garageband?

    Hi,
    I have Logic 9 and use AmpDesigner/Pboard via an Apogee GIO for both my guitar and bass - Sounds great. However I've just been goofin around with a mate on his Macbook Pro using Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4 with their Control 3 foot pedal - ummm don't wanna say this but that sounds great too! I really like the interface and patch library and some of the presets did sound bloody great to me.
    So my question is ...
    Is it possible to use NI Guitar Rig v4 in Logic 9 studio/mainstage? as a plugin? maybe mix and match Amp Designer and or Guitar Rig in one song? I'm sure I read somewhere that you could use non Apple plugins in Garageband.
    Anyhow

  • Duet and Guitar Rig 3 kontrol Edition

    I recently purchased Guitar Rig 3 Knotrol Edition to use with Duet and I am in the process of setting it up. Can they both work together or do I have to disconnect Duet? After installing the software, I see RigKontrol3 in the Apple System Preference panel and in the LogicPro 8 Core Audio panel I also see RigKontrol3. Thank you.

    Sorry for the late post. I have plugged the guitar into a Waves PRS GTR via mic in cannon plug on the Duet, used the L/R audio outs to a power amp/cab for live audio and can still use the Guitar Rig controller via USB to make preset/effects changes. Also with this set up I can record to Logic, power down the amp and use headphones. Still experimenting with different configurations and other software gtr appz.

  • Can I use Guitar Rig 4 Sessions I/O with Adobe Audition CC? Thanks, Al :)

    Hey,
    I only need Guitar Rig to power my microphone because it requires phantom power. I've never actually been able to use the effects available on Guitar Rig because I always found it too confusing and never understood how to, so I'm not bothered about using the effects. I've changed the preference settings, but it just won't let me record in a multitrack session. It records on a single track (before you start a new multitrack session), however, it will not let me play it back. I've tried different preference settings, but nothing works! I tried to attach screenshots to show my preferences, but it wouldn't work :/
    I would really appreciate it if you could help me!
    Thank you,
    Alexis

    Hi
    Yes... absolutely:
    1st you need to download the Controller Editor from NI, then you need to configure the RK to work in "MIDI Mode". Assign the switches & pedal(s) to whatever CC's you wish.
    Then, in Mainstage, create the screen controls and MIDI Learn them.
    You may need the latest RK drivers too.

  • How do I change Guitar rig patches when it is a plug in in main stage

    I'm using Guitar Rig (v.3.2.1) inside Mainstage (v.1.0.2). I'm trying to use a midi foot controller (Yamaha MFC10) to change the patches. Pressing the Yamaha foot pedal sends program change information into main stage, but it changes the patches at the top level of main stage. Also, main stage responds to program change on all midi channels and I don't see a way to limit it to just one. What I'm hoping to do is have the MainStage patches respond to one midi channel, and the Guitar rig patches respond to another. Can this be done??

    Hey Burr,
    Okay, I was able to get Mainstage 1 and Guitar Rig 3 talking okay. I'll outline here how I got the two to talk but I probably need a bit more info to address your exact need(s). I've also re-read your posts and I'll take a stab at what I think you might need to do to get set up a little better. The caveat here is that I'm not 100% clear on what you want to do, so apologies if I make assumptions that are a little off
    Since it sounds like you want to do MIDI patches and Guitar Rig patches and you're trying to separate the two, then let's look at that, we can always look at combined patches later.
    So what it kinda sounds like, is that you're thinking about Guitar Rig at the concert level, the best thing is for you to think about Guitar Rig at the patch level. What that allows you to do is to create two different sets within the concert, one for your MIDI patches, and the other for Guitar Rig patches.
    That way, you can navigate to whatever you want (MIDI patch or Guitar Rig patch) and not worry about the MIDI channel separation issue. When you were saying the Yamaha MFC10 was sending program changes for patches at the top level, instead, what you want to think about is using CC's (not PC's) for set and patch navigation and PC's only for direct access to a specific patch.
    So, first program your MFC10 to send 4 different CC's for Mainstage navigation (Set Up, Set Down, Patch Up, Patch Down) e.g. you could use switches 7,8,9,0. Then go into Mainstage at the layout level and map the Set Up, Down and Patch Up, Down icon/switches using the MIDI Learn function. Go into Edit mode and test the navigation.
    Next, create two different sets MIDI and Guitar Rig.
    Then create your MIDI patches in the MIDI set as you normally would.
    Create your Guitar Rig patches within the Guitar Rig set. Create separate Guitar Rig patches using the MFX stereo version of the AU plug in for GR. When the Guitar Rig plug-in window opens, select/edit the patch within Guitar Rig that you want to use. That specific Guitar Rig patch will now be saved in your Mainstage patch. Set up a separate Mainstage patch using a Guitar Rig patch for each of your different patches/songs.
    Now you can go into perform/full screen mode to navigate to each set or patch using switches 7,8,9,0 (if that's what you used) of your MFC10 and that will call up you patch.
    Additionally, if you want to call up a specific patch from MFC10, then program one of your MFC10 switches to send a specific Program Change. Then click on the patch in Mainstage, the Patch Inspector window will open up - now assign that same Program Change number there. Your MFC10 will now call up that specific patch when you press on the switch.
    Now, the next thing is...if you then want to modify or express something WITHIN a Guitar Rig patch. Then you first have to program your MFC10 to set up/send let's say...5 different CC's so let's use 1-5 of your MFC10. We might want to turn on/off different effects for example, or boost a gain, or whatever. In this example, we'll choose turning an effect on/off.
    So program your MFC10, then go into layout mode in Mainstage and assign the stompbox on/off switch by clicking on it, using MIDI Learn, and then pressing your footswitch to learn the CC.
    Go into Edit mode, select your Mainstage Guitar Rig patch, then click the stomp button(s) you just programmed. The parameter mapping section then opens up at the bottom. Choose your Mainstage patch name (appears right under "Parameter Mapping".
    Then the next column (to the right) populates, choose "Guitar Rig 3 MFX", the next column then populates with all the Guitar Rig 3 parameters, select whichever GR3 item you want to control and do the parameter mapping. In my test I chose Skreemer On/Off because I mapped my FCB1010 and Mainstage Stompbox to switch that effect.
    Anyway, if everything was done ok then when you press switch 1 on your MFC10 it will turn the effect in Guitar Rig 3 on and off through Mainstage.
    So now knowing all that, you should be able to map Mainstage and GR to do what you want by just using the same principles.
    Sorry for the long explanation but it's the only way to give you the details...I hope I got what you wanted to do after all that...phew
    Give it a go and let me know if you have any questions.
    J.
