Riffworks & Amplitube X-Gear Midi Control with FCB1010?

[riffworker]

Hi there,

the new Amplitube X-Gear allows to control many parameters by midi. So in the standalone mode I am able to control the wah wah and the stomp boxes. However, within Riffworks it is not possible?

Anybody got an idea to use FCB1010
controller within Riffworks?

Directly No as RW has no Native midi Support Yet.

InDirectly you can but that is a bit hard process involving vst chainer, energyXT and Toby's midvst etc.

Thanks, Atalwar!

Could you describe in more detail how that would work?

Thnx

I am including a Old Post of Mine from another thread with changes as applicable to control of amp vsts via midi.

ok So here's how to record direct via softsynths/vsti/VST direct into rw.
Required Plugins (vst)
1. MultifxVst
2. EnergyxtE 1.4 (vst plugin version , trial can be downloaded and should work fine)

3. MID2VST : Download the entire midibag package and you will find the plugin in it.


How to Set up:

1. Load RW(standard)

2. for amp choose Multifx VST (you should have installed in your vst plugins folder)

3. in Multifx click add and load (energyxte.dll )

4. in EnergyXt window load MID2VST and your vsti/vst that you wish to record( you can also drag and drop from system explorer on energyxt) xgear or amplitube

5. double click the mid2vst and select your desired midi input port (whereever your midi controller is sending its midi output to)
6. interconnect the plugins.

6.1 Connect master audio in to your vst amp emulator (amplitube, GTR 2/3 etc)
6.2 Connect vst2mid midi out to your vsti/vst (amp emulator) midi in port (the first small box under vst/vsti in energy xt)
6.3 connect mid2vst audio out to master out
6.4 connect your vsti/vst audio out to master out.

6.5 : Hitting a key/controller on your midi should now directly play in RW or control your vst and you can record it (for vsti /softsynth) for .

if you select the midi-in port (in midt2vst) later you should disconnect mid2vst and reconnect it otherwise it will not work.


You can save your setup in multifix vst as preset and then later load with just a cick of a button

3. MID2VST : link : tobybear.de/p_midibag.html download the entire midibag package and you will find the plugin inside it.

Amit,

I wonder if this would work to record VSTi and DXi instruments such as EZ Drummer, BFD2, Stylus, etc.??

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,

This Would for vsti (dxi i dont think) as i do it all the time to add some quick pads or fills.

but the problem would be Sync , if your vsti etc has any effects (bpm driven) make sure you set energyxt tempo same as in rw.

You could trigger Recording in RW with a count-in and play in realtime then it should be fine.
