Setting up Virtual Guitarist 2 as a DXi2 Instrument
The following information refers to the use of Virtual Guitarist 2 within
Cakewalk SONAR 1. We assume that you have correctly set up both SO-
NAR and your MIDI and audio hardware. Should you wish to use Virtual
Guitarist 2 within another DXi2 compatible host application, please refer
to its documentation.
Proceed as follows to activate Virtual Guitarist 2:
1. Make sure that SONAR receives MIDI data that you generate with
your external MIDI master keyboard. You can check this visually with
the “MIDI In/Out Activity” tray icon.
2. In SONAR, open the “Synth Rack” window from the View menu.
3. Click the Insert button (or select the Insert option on the main menu).
4. Open the DXi Synth submenu and select “Virtual Guitarist 2” from the
pop-up menu.
5. By default, the “Insert DXi Synth Options” dialog appears. To create
one MIDI track and connect an audio track to the outputs 1 and 2 of
Virtual Guitarist, activate the options “MIDI Source Track” and “First
Synth Output (Audio)”. To create all available Virtual Guitarist outputs,
activate “All Synth Outputs (Audio)”.
Refer to your host application’s documentation for further details.
6. Clicking the “Connection State” button in the Synth Rack will activate/
deactivate Virtual Guitarist 2. By default this is automatically activated
when DXi SoftSynths are loaded.
7. Double-click on the “Virtual Guitarist 2” entry or click the “Synth Prop-
erties” button in the toolbar of the Synth Rack to open the Virtual Gui-
tarist 2 window.
8. In SONAR, select the previously created MIDI track “Virtual Guitarist 2”.
Virtual Guitarist 2 will now receive MIDI data from the selected track.
Make sure that the MIDI channel of the currently selected SONAR track
is set to the channel on which Virtual Guitarist 2 is to receive MIDI data.
When set, you are ready to start using Virtual Guitarist!
