The fact is, that while I like Real Guitar, I haven't used it much because I've been involved in other projects. In fact, I've kind of forgotten what little I learned about it when I saw it at NAMM last year. I use it he vision I have to choose a guitar patch and a fret position. I think I programmed a couple of keys outside the playing range to activate a few frequently used key switches. Other than that, I haven't touched the thing in months. I don't mean to be unhelpful. When I get around to it, I'll dig in again and see what else I remember. I don't have DirectXer. I downloaded a demo version on my laptop some years ago and haven't bought a copy for my DAW. I was happy to hear that DirectXer has a positive impact on the use of Ultimate Guitar. It doesn't do much for many of the graphically based soft synths I currently own and that's why I don't have a copy.

I think that's a fair trade, and it'll help me work up a better document. Do you use the realGuitar GUI interface, or a directized generic interface? How do you select your guitar patches? Don't worry about giving too long or involved an answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin L.
