Using Guitar Rig 4 / Amplitube 3 in Logic Pro

Hi,
I'm using Guitar Rig 4 and Amplitube 3 as inserts in my Logic 9 projects and all is working fine.
However neither GR4 or A3 respond to MIDI cc changes from my Apogee GIO foot controller. I've been able to get both products to respond correctly to patch/stompbox changes on the Apogee GIO when used "stand alone".
It looks like when used as an "insert" the Apogee Gio MIDI cc info is not getting thru - When using Ampdesigner/Pedelboard (which I don't very often) the Apogee GIO MIDI cc functions correctly.
Is there a way of getting the MIDI CC messages thru to an insert?
Thanks for you help

Insert them as "Midi controlled AU" Plugs into an instrument slot, there is an xtra folder for those Plug-Ins and many manufacturers supply these versions.

  • 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?

  • How to use guitar rig 3 in logic

    Hi everyone
    I am trying guitar rig 3 demo, and one of the features is the capabilities to open the app in logic or garageband and use all the features directly while composing music in Logic.
    question: how do you load it? i am used to cubase VST and VST and DX plugins, so i am not really sure how a Mac works.
    Thanks!

    is my question too dumb to get an answer? wow...would never expect to see no replies for a question like that

  • Anyone using Guitar Rig 2 in Logic?

    I'm having trouble getting GR 2 to work in logic. It works fine as a stand alone but does not work in logic! If anyone can advise me on what I might do to rectify this problem I could sure use it. It's holding up a studio project and I'm not getting much help from Native Instruments support.

    Hmmm, I dunno-the concensus in the NI GR forum is the
    same? Is it just the driver that's bad or did the
    patch fix it?
    Hi Justin,
    May be you could give me a blow by blow discription of how to make this piece of S**t work. I am still getting no input into logic, I can hear the metronome but no imput from the strat at all.
    Here's what I'm using:
    G5 duel 2 gig processor
    Dididesign 192 digital interface
    Mackie digital console DXB 200
    the AU version of guitar rig 2 loaded
    logic version 7.1.1
    OPEN AUDIO CHANNEL - load plug-in guitar rig
    I have tried..... out of the guitar into pedal board, then out of the pedal board into the Console - NOTHING
    Out of the guitar straight into the console - NOTHING
    It does work as a stand alone through the console but so does everything else except guitar rig, but not in Logic!
    Here's the really wierd part you can hear the metronome when the audio channel is armed and record is going - Still no guitar input at all.
    Am I just doing something stupid? is the AU version not working? Do I need to load the VST? and help from you is always Greatly Appreciated, this is killing me time wise.
    Thanks again guys,

  • Using guitar rig in logic -9 but not getting same sound....

    Hey fellow logic users
                              Ok heres the problem ( cut to the chase )  I am hooking up my guitar directly to the audio box direct to input 1  I have guitar rig in my  plug in section now when i play the song and want to play along It comes out clean, but when i press record enable it plays like the guitar rig sample i created  then when i press the space bar to start playback to practice it  it plays clean but then whe i record it  comes out slightly not the way it sounds when not recording  I hope this is understandable  lol : )   what do I need to do to make what I sound like in the guitar rig while rehearshing it so it comes out the same and not clean.  I put the playback knob on my audio box in the middle so i can hear the drums bass e.t.c  aong with the guitar but still no dirty sound during rhearsal before recording      Thanks

    Check under the audio menu options that "auto input monitor" or something like that, is enabled.

  • 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.

  • GarageBand stops recording immediately when using Guitar Rig Session

    When I try to record a guitar into GarageBand using my Guitar Rig Session the recording starts, then immediately stops. This happens on a new track, or on an existing track. Everything was fine before I updated GarageBand to the latest version (6.0.4) via the App Store. I also updated to OSX 10.6.8 too. I've tried recording a track in Reaper and it works fine so I doubt it's a Guitar Rig/OSX 10.6.8 issue so I'm suspecting that it's the latest GarageBand version that's to blame. This discussion was the closest thing I could find to raise a support ticket about this. I'll have to switch to Reaper for now but if it's not fixed soon, I may not come back to GarageBand!

    Native Instruments say they'll have a fix to make their software work in Lion in September. From what I've heard it only affects them running in 64 bit mode so try Guitar Rig in 32 bit mode if you can. I've switched to Reaper like I said and I'm finding the transition quite easy. Give their demo a try...

  • 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 can I get a 320kbps mp3 using "share to iTunes" without normalizing in Logic Pro X?

    After importing and editing an mp3 file in Logic Pro X, I want to simply "share to iTunes" and get a 320kbps mp3 without normalization but I can't figure out how to do this without normalizing.  With Garageband, it's simple; but with Logic Pro X, I can't figure it out.

    I see, I am sticking with Logic 9 for the time being. I thought Logic X has a share to iTunes feature, are you saying the format you want to use isn't available there? Also, In Logic-9, Bounce has the feature "Add to iTunes Library" this allows 320kbps Mp3 files with or without normalization sent to the iTunes library. Have you opened the Bounce dialog to check it out?
    Also note that iTunes has several settings that affect sound of audio, you want those off is you want to hear audio as it actually is.
    iTunes Preferences/Playback  Sound Enhancer and Sound Check should be disabled.

  • Can I use my old Garageband Jam Packs with Logic Pro X?

    I'm in the process of moving all of my Logic X Library content to an external hard drive and it occurred to me that I still have 4 GarageBand Jam Packs that I might be able to use in Logic X. Does anyone know if there is any real difference in the loop content of the Jam Packs and the loops that are on Logic X ? Has anyone tried this and made any kind of comparison? Just wondering. Thanks.

    When you download all the additional content from within Logic Pro X.. any jam packs you are missing are then installed during that process... but if you already have them all installed the LPX additional content installer will find them and set them up for use in LPX.
    The content of the Jam packs are identical....

  • Using Yamaha AW2400 as control surface for Logic Pro 9

    I am a freelance pro sound engineer currently working as tech support for a local school. They have a Yamaha AW2400 in their studio, something which I have never come across before despite using numerous Yammy desks. They also have a Mac running Lion and Logic Pro 9.
    What I want to do is use the desk as a control surface for Logic and record direct to the Mac if possible. I have installed the Yamaha USB-MIDI drivers on the Mac and had the desk running as a device for file transfer (via the USB connection) but everything else is beyond my knowledge of the desk and Logic.
    I am a Pro Tools guy so Logic is a bit new to me but I know how to setup a new control surface. and the basic operations.
    What I need help with is...
    - what control surface to use as there is no preset on the desk for a AW2400
    - what port settings to use on Logic
    - what TX and RX settings to use on the AW2400
    - what Remote Out settings to use on the AW2400
    - any other info I may need
    Thanks in advance, hope some can help.

    See page 204 of the AW2400 User Guide...
    http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/pa/english/recorders/aw2400_en_om_b0.pdf
    Note: the User Guide says that only LP7 is supported but you never know.. it may work with LP9... Test and see..

  • Can I use a VS-700C control surface with Logic Pro?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if I can use a Roland VS-700C control surface and/or VS-700R audio interface with Logic Pro?

    If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

  • Using the Transport Controls of O2R96 for Logic Pro MMC

    Hi guys! They have done a nice job on Logic Pro 7.1.0 with getting it to talk to the O2R96 every start up. It's a pleasure not to have to go into Control Surface Setup everytime... There are still a few issues that they haven't yet resolved with the Control Surface that used to work amazingly well on Logic 6.4.2...
    Firstly, as I am really used to using the Transport Controls on the O2R96 for playback control when mixing a session down. As one's head never needs to leave the "sweet spot" you just edit till happy (never having to continually turn to the HDR, etc)... Well, on the O2R96 (I'm using version 2 of the O2R96s operating system), ever since I upgraded to Logic Pro 7.0.0, but the Transport Controls don't function at all... Not even the Suffle! They did when I was using Logic Pro 6.4.2. Has anyone else complained of this problem yet?
    Also, have noticed that when mixing tracks down using the O2R96 as the main Control Surface, that the faders on screen miss out values between -0.5 and +1.2, so that the 0.0 Unity level cannot be drawn manually into the automation just using the Control Surface Faders. This is annoying, as this slight jump can cause a blip in the mix that stands out like a sore thumb and can take hours of editing to get rid of them... Again, have you had reports of anyone else finding this?
    If you have any solutions, would be very obliged...

    Got the transport controls working at last. Thanks Dave (from www.logicprohelp.com)! Faders still glitchy between -0.5 and +1.2. No unity level...
    Tried adjusting "Control Surface" MIDI Bandwidth, and even adjusted "Controller Assignment" parameters by switching 'pan pots' on O2R96 and 'faders' on O2R96 to control 'volume faders' and 'pan contols', respectively, within Logic. Seems that this glitch still occurs while using the O2R96's pan pots to control volume fades within Logic.
    Anyone at Apple that can help? Is it an error in the code you guy's have written?

  • Amplitube 2 in Logic Pro

    Hey guys,
    I tried to connect Amplitube 2 with Logic 8, but after it did not manually sync, I went in to the audio units manager to investigate further. After re-running the validation, I got this error message:
    1 to 2 Channel Render Test at 256 frames
    ERROR: Output Buffer Size does not match requested num frames
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

    Yes, you need to run the IK Multimedia Audio Units Compatibility update. You can download it from the IK Multimedia user area.

  • How to use my TS 12 Ensoniq keyboard with Logic Pro X

    I just got Logic Pro X but I have no idea how to use my midi keyboard. I have a midi to usb cable running between my TS-12 Ensoniq keyboard. How do I set up the drivers or really just get it all to work. I'm a noob to the hardware stuff though I'm quiet fimilar with Logic 9. Help would be great asap!

    So I guess it can make the sound of one hand clapping?
    Anyway...
    Does the USB-MIDI cable need drivers? What brand is it? There are some cheap ones floating around ebay that don't work properly with all hardware. Assuming you've got a working one that needs no drivers, all you need to do is plug it in, the OS and Logic should detect it automatically. In Audio MIDI Setup (MIDI page) you can check if your Mac indeed recognizes the MIDI interface. It will not show the TS12 itself, just the MIDI interface.
    You can find Audio MIDI Setup in Applications>Utilities.
