Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I'm getting familiar with Guitar Rig 7. My intention would be to use the HP 255 G9 notebook simply as a guitar amp modeler / multi-effects via Guitar Rig 7 in stand alone. It works very well even with my old M-audio Fast track pro audio interface. At the moment this is the equipment I have available, being without use I can not buy other hardware to play together with a choir of friends.
In certain songs you would need to be able to switch from one sound to another, e.g. from clean to overdrive and vice versa within the same preset or by changing Preset. On my Fender Mustang GTX100 amp to do this there is its control pedalboard, but in the case of this new instrumentation much more easily transportable, and extremely more flexible and powerful, since Guitar Rig has the Macros section I am wondering if you can assign some function simply as a shortcut on the notebook keyboard, for example changing the preset up and down to scroll through the list of favorites (suppose the playlist to play) or assign to a key a function such as On/Off of the overdrive block. Or for a Live use is it necessary some control hardware pedalboard to be connected in MIDI to audio interface (or to the USB port)?
At the moment the best thing I've found is to assign a Macro to turn on / off the overdrive block in an experimental preset but when you have a few moments to change having to do it with the mouse to click on the assigned Macro button becomes a problem It's easy to err from haste : in the absence of a pedal board it is certainly more immediate to strike a key on the fly on the notebook.
If this was possible via non-stand-alone DAWs, I use Cakewalk and Windows 10.
Thanks !
