Amplitube 3 - screenshot (from NAMM)

I guess it differs from venue to venue and the type of gig but I've never seen or had anyone jumping up on stage to try and steal something infront of an audience. You could always use a laptop lock and wrap it around something. may not be 100% secure but by the time someonse yanked it enough someone would have spotted the little theif.

Well I guess you haven't played in some of the clubs I have. Trust me .......... some people are not to be trusted.

I keep one on my laptop and my desktop even in my home studio. Wouldn't stop someone with some time, but it could foil a grab and snatch.

Yeah thats what I meant. we use those at work on all are laptops. I'm an IT technician in the Nuclear Industry so security is quite high.

Worth £20 or whatever they are.

Yes one SHOULD be able to seamlessly change patches on their MIDI controller but my point was that we write the drivers and can control OUR controllers' behavior with our software better. I'm sure it is possible and that people are using other controllers with instant changes too. Anybody having problems is definitely welcome to sort them out via tech support and if it is an issue with AmpliTube it will be reported and/or fixed for them.

Hmm. See before, you sort of insinuated that it was by DESIGN that it didn't switch patches seamlessly with anything that wasn't StompIO. Which is why I asked what it did technically different.

My Ground Control Pro sends midi CC's and program changes. Using program changes to switch presets results in a small gap of silence between patches.

For comparison, the PodXTLive and PodX3Live does the same thing when using their footswitches to change presets. Obviously in their case it's by design.

In the AT2/AT3 case, if it isn't by design, then it must be a bug in the software?

well, with hardware we don't create it is going to be more difficult. There could be a miriad of things so please do see what support thinks. It is by design that they switch instantly with StompIO because we have end-to-end control is what I meant to imply, or rather say.

Sheesh, what a PITA....

Can we just copy them into the preset folder(2)?
Can we create our own folders?

Also-again- it doesn't look like the speed trainer timestretches audio files according to bpm? Or is the fact that I'm loading a 3/4 file (and setting the time signature in speed trainer) accordingly make a difference?

(I'm hoping it will work like session mode in Live 8.1.1)

None of the presets from AT2 or Fender are showing up in the AT3 preset browser.

Thanks for confirming. I reported the same thing a few posts ago... same problem here also with Ampeg and X-Gear here. They are present in the dropdown menu at the top of the GUI, but not in the Browser (even after refreshing it)

These are using a different convention - you can save these (or Save As) and add any of the descriptive information if you'd like and they'll be in the Preset Browser

okay I'm gonna sound dumb as a post but where do I assign which channel from my soundcard is the input using standalone? I can assign my card but I can't find a place to slect the channel, does it have to be channel 1?

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

Hink - are you not seeing it in the Settings --> Audio MIDI Setup menu? I'm using StealthPedal but both channels are exposed fine for it.

yeah, it says emu, presonus firestudio and line 6 pod xt live but no choice of which channel. I'll just change my set up to the dry input signal being channel one I guess. Right now I select presonus but I get no sound going in, but that cable going in is channel two

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

Ah, I'm not sure if that's correct... I've PM'd you, Hink.

When can we expect a group buy?

Peter, I have a question that I would very much appreciate an answer to. I'm not a guitarist, I play keys. I am most intrigued by the new stereo routing capabilities available in Amplitube 3, which is definitely the most attractive feature for me other than the accurately modelled vintage stomps (I'm itching to try the Small Stone phaser out on my string machines!).

One thing that I do very often while creating sounds in the studio is to automate the change of various parameters, so that I can listen back to my modifications in real time. Experiments with the demo of Amplitube 2 have shown me that host automation is indeed possible. However, I am a little concerned as to how this is going to work with Amplitube 3's stereo routing.

What I want to know is - can you assign more than one switch to be automated by the same parameter? I think X-Gear uses a system where there are 16 available parameters that are available to be assigned - if that's the case in Amplitube 3, how is this going to work out for stereo routing on FX pedals? Will we have to assign automation of the same value (say, the speed of a phaser) to two different parameters in order to control both 'Stomp A' and 'Stomp B'? Or can they both be assigned to one?

The practical implications of this are that when using external controllers (like a Behringer BCR2000), it is going to make life much more difficult if the L channel of a stomp has to be assigned to one knob, and the R channel to another.

That's provided, of course, that the only stereo routing option is to have L=Stomp A and R=Stomp B. Is it possible to have one stomp screen but have them process both L and R?

Many thanks!

When running the one stereo routing that has the stomps in parallel, I currently cannot assign one switch to two stomps (A & B of same pedal) but I'm not sure that's final so I will check.

You do have a routing that puts both stomps in parallel so you could use that routing and automate the single parameter on the one stomp.

Thanks!

I've been demoing Amplitube 3 for the past few days and the sound is a revelation - absolutely amazing FX pedals in here! Very impressive work guys.

However, I am disappointed by the lack of automation available for stereo routing (as in, cannot assign more than one variable to a parameter). This makes tweaking stomp FX in stereo a little more difficult than it needs to be. I would very much like this to be a feature available in the future. Any chance, Peter?

Ran into that, too.
Simple task : bypass two stomps (OD and delay) and switch both on for the solo - you need two automation lanes for that.
I could imagine a matrix would be ideal, simple as it gets, quick and quite effective. Just click the dots ...

OK, am I missing sometihing or there is no manual for AT3 anwhere?
AT2 could play mp3 files in but it seems as if AT3 only does WAW, or am I missing something. I whish there was a way to figure out what the, iS, i1, i2 in the 4 trach mean..... and so on.

Which system are you on? Mine installed in win7 under IK multimedia, Amplitube 3, and the manual is in there.
