Thanks a million Brian,

That's exactly the info I was looking for. Although, I still think I'm gonna write up a batch processing document outlining the parameter/controller correspondence along with the settings values for each parm. I can see huge possibilities for event editting such as switching performance modes on the fly etcetera in recorded sequences.

One last question oh wise one, Have you used the Pattern Manager, or any other means to access the pattern library with any degree of success? I ask because the library is an additional $80 or so, and I'm not sure if its worth getting.

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.

As I groaned in my last post, Directizer exposes all parameters for
RealGuitar, but you can't use the interface to select your guitar patches.
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?
