3 Working with Presets

GUITAR RIG 4

would only be half as useful without a sophisticated management system to help you find and organize all available presets. A completely reworked, tag-based Preset

Browser and a powerful search function make navigating through presets and managing them a joy, and Component Presets allow for a convenient modular approach to rack building.

At this point, it is important to understand that there are two different kinds of presets in

GUITAR RIG 4 :

Rack Presets

Rack Presets allow you to store and recall complete Rack setups and organize them in a convenient way using the Preset Browser. Each Rack Preset consists of a chain of components with their exact configuration that is loaded into the Rack when the preset is activated. At the same time, it preserves the tempo and all controller assignments.

The latter can be overridden when the preset is loaded. This depends on the following settings:

►

The Metronome’s Sync control is set to Ext or Free: This prevents the Metronome’s tempo to change when loading a preset. Set it to Sound if you want the tempo setting to be loaded with the Rack Preset.

►

The assignments of the Virtual Rig Kontrol and other controllers can be globally locked

(see section 6.2

and 8.1.2

), which is indicated by a small padlock symbol. These will

not be affected by controller assignments stored in a Rack Preset.

GUITAR RIG 4 ships with a huge amount of Rack Presets of any style, and you can easily create more as you see fit.
