A second ago we set Parameter 1 to control the Bypass on a Distortion in Stomp Module 1. From there, set the mode to at least “Touch” or greater so that it will have an effect on the parameter (otherwise it won’t). Make sure to hit “Ok” afterward it’s sort of like “apply,” and if you don’t hit it, it won’t save the changes you’ve made.įrom there, it’s just a matter of going into REAPER’s automation menu for the track (the button labeled “env” by default, right after “io”). What it does is makes it so that a Distortion loaded in Stomp module section 1 will be assigned to AT3’s DAW Parameter 1. Which is just a goof on my part because I’m tired. In this case, though I loaded an Overscream, I set it to control the bypass on a Distortion. From there, browse to the thing you want to be controlled as Parameter 1 (Amplitube 3 allows a DAW limited parameters to control, so choose what you need control over pretty carefully if you’ve got a complex signal chain). Click on the “Auto” button down at the bottom there.

In Amplitube 3, you need to assign the thing you want to control to a DAW Automation slot. In Reaper, you enable it as an input device, like so: From there, here’s what you need to do to have it actually control a value in Amplitube 3 in REAPER. That just makes it capable of sending MIDI control data via USB along with audio. The first thing you need to do is to open up the Controller Editor so that Rig Kontrol 3 switches into “con” mode on its red LED display.

The images are larger than the blog will natively display, but making them smaller obscures the text substantially! So, please click on the image and use your browser’s “view image” function to see the image without any cropping or oddness. Below I’ve included a brief walkthrough of how to get it to work with Amplitube 3 via REAPER’s Automation. Now, instead of just controlling Guitar Rig software, it interfaces with any DAW or standalone app that can accept MIDI thanks to Native’s Controller Editor program. It’s had a fair bit of improvement via software since its launch as the original Rig Kontrol 3. In the process of preparing a review for Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4: Kontrol Edition, I put the controller through the paces pretty heavily.
