Using Virtual Guitarist in an AU compatible application

You can use Virtual Guitarist in an AU host application (e.g. Logic).

The Virtual Guitarist 2 AU version is installed in the folder “Library/

Audio/Plug-ins/Components”.

For Logic Pro 7 proceed as follows:

Open the Track Mixer and choose the desired Instrument channel.

Click the I/O field and, in the pop-up menu that appears, choose

Stereo, AU Instruments, Steinberg and finally, Virtual Guitarist 2.

Now Virtual Guitarist 2 is loaded and ready to play.

Virtual Guitarist stand-alone and ReWire

Virtual Guitarist can be used as a stand-alone application, indepen-

dently of any host application. This makes it possible to use Virtual

Guitarist in sequencer applications that do not support one of the pro-

vided plug-in formats of Virtual Guitarist (i.e. VST, DXi and AU), but

allow for data exchange using ReWire.

ReWire 2 is a special protocol for streaming audio and MIDI data be-

tween two computer applications. When using ReWire, the order in

which you launch and quit the two programs is very important, as the

first audio application launched will capture the audio card resources.

Proceed as follows:

First, launch the sequencer application you wish to use (e.g. Ableton

Live, ProTools).

If your sequencer supports ReWire, it will provide a way to assign audio and MIDI chan-

nels for the exchange of data. See the documentation of your sequencer application for

details.

Now, launch Virtual Guitarist as a stand-alone application.

You can launch the program just like any other application on your computer through

the Start menu or desktop icon (Win) or by double-clicking the application symbol in

the Applications folder (Mac). You can also double-click the Virtual Guitarist program

file in the installation folder.

When you now play with Virtual Guitarist, the sound is streamed via Re-

Wire to the assigned mixer channels in your host.
