In DirectiXer, uncheck generic interface. Now, in Sonar, you'll see the regular Real Guitar properties window in Sonar, even when it is wrapped with DirectiXer. Use the Jaws cursor to select each of the 6 preset guitars, and then, after selecting each one, use the icons at the top of the DirectiXer window to save them as individual DirectiXer preset files (.fxp files). Now, back in DirectiXer, turn the generic interface back on. When you open Real Guitar's properties in Sonar now, you'll see the generic interface. However, you can use the icons at the top of the window to load the presets that you saved when the generic interface was disabled. So, when you want to use Real Guitar now, you load a basic preset with the icons, and then tweak it with the generic interface.

And, if you use the interface, you can select the patch, but no parameters are exposed. Such fun! Solution: each parameter has a corresponding MIDI controller number assigned to it, and the controller values set that parameter to its various values. So, by loading up controller events in a sequence with the values set, then playing the sequence to RealGuitar, it has the same effect as setting the parameters from the directized generic interface. Its kind of like using a batch file to change multiple settings in one step. MusicLabs was good enough to publish a map of parameter/MIDI controller numbers, but not the corresponding controller values for the parameter settings. using the directizer generic interface, and going one by one thru the 85 parameters(I see I'm in for a lot of grunt work here), a list of parameter/settings can be compiled and used to get around this pain in the neck. Brian, or anyone who uses RealGuitar, please spare me the trouble I've cut out for myself and tell me there's an easier way;-) This synth is so darn good, its worth the effort--but please... isn't there another way? ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
