I'm a little worked up as of late with MIDI issues, and why HUGE market sectors (iPad apps) are acting as if it's not important.Īs I mentioned on the 2nd page of this thread, my fav iPad amp sim app is iShred.
Ampkit vs amplitube Patch#
(current patch selection weirdness aside, of course, lol). There's a very fucking good reason why NI has started to DOMINATE the amp modeling market with Guitar Rig: It's part of your digital friggin world that can be totally integrated into other digital tools. Again, just a hamfisted dunderheaded move that reinforces my long-held belief that Line6 pretty much thinks that 99% of their customer base are metal loving jobless slacker potheads riffing out Metallica licks in Mum & Dad's shag carpet filled basement (which may or may not be true, but you certainly shouldn't run a business with that model in mind and then label your product as 'industry leading' and 'state of the art' lol).
Ampkit vs amplitube full#
Anyone producing a piece of hardware that's digital, contains MIDI In and Out, and not offering absolute full MIDI (inc clock sync), is just fucking retarded and deserves to lose their marketshare. With the move towards the complete absence of MIDI In on the new HD series, they've really taken a huge step backward. But lack of MIDI clock and other more robust MIDI routing was always a bummer with the Pod stuff (and the X3 was the MOST feature rich in terms of MIDI!). Patch changes and other MIDI fun with FX settings can all be handled via dummy clips and my FCB1010. I'm regretting getting the floor model and not the rack mount with a separate volume pedal. I've been very pleased with the overall tone and sound and flexibility of my Pod X3 Live. It gathers dust in some cable box in my studio somewhere.must sell it soon. The iRig and amplitube stuff is a waste of time. Damn if they did and iPad version I am all in. My main complaint with it is that the majrity of the amp sims are crap, CoolPlex is amazing though and the new(ish) Reflektor convo reverb incredible.even thought it was another $99. Since I'm not playing Live at the moment its not an issue.Īs a studio tool GR4 is totally what I am after in terms of the patch set up, split signals, cross overs, total control. Then, and for some reason I cannot make it go away, with Live 8 there is a fade in during the patch change in GR4 as a plug in Live and so you want to come back in on the next down beat, but you get a fade-in which destroys all your impact.įor some reason it just doesn't switch fast enough. GR4 is the daddy for me, but I have to say the problems I've had with it Live are a pain because of the problem you describe.īut in Live 7 I had my set so that I just set midi clips to send program change to GR4 and change my patch when I selected scenes with the FCB1010 in Live. Still, GR4 offers the best flexibility I've seen for true digital integration/manipulation. Lots of folks have complained, and I think I've seen one hamfisted workaround, but not sure if it's ever been fixed after all these months. For GR4, apparently you now have to manually select the patch Bank first for making a program change via any MIDI controller. I've been studying up on it because I'm interested in purchasing, and true DAW integration is good, but could be better.
That's the one thing that sucks about pure modeler plugs - the CPU hit is still fairly substantial if you want anything but a distortion and reverb effect going, lol.Įven then, GR4 isn't without it's faults.
Why the fuck they don't make a hardware version - where the plug is just a visual GUI - is beyond me.
Ampkit vs amplitube software#
Yeah, it's truly the software like GR4 that has led the way at this point.
Would it have killed them to put bass modeling in the new HD series? I'm just flustered when manufactures build on experience from the past, but remove past features on current models. Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I got hypnotized by the demo videos of the HD using the expression pedal to control multiple parameters at once and the possibilities therein. The compressors in the X3 Live (and the pod HD from what I hear as well) are somewhat limited I'd really like a normal one with attack and release controls, but you just get threshold or 'compression' for most of them, perhaps with makeup gain. i play through a Hafler power amp into an Avatar cabinet, usually using either the ampeg, fender, or sunn models - the ampeg sounds like rock, the fender sounds 'vintage', and the sunn sort of hi-fi, like you'd expect. the line 6 sub dub model is lots of fun! so I would say it's pretty effective, and sounds good. well, i play bass (sort of), and when you choose the different amps, it sounds different. i haven't actually done it much and I think it can only control one parameter, but the choice is pretty wide.
