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 theregular Real Guitar properties window in Sonar, even when it is wrapped withDirectiXer.Use the Jaws cursor to select each of the 6 preset guitars, and then, afterselecting 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 openReal 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 presetsthat 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 numberassigned to it, and the controller values set that parameter to its variousvalues. 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 oflike using a batch file to change multiple settings in one step. MusicLabswas 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 thereanother 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
