[RWP] Adrenalinn guitar pedal's sounds

Mon Sep 16 06:30:14 EDT 2013

Years ago, both Roy Shtupler and I tried out the AdrenaLinn Sync VST 
plug version that was current then, and I remember that it's very easy 
to play a keyboard or guitar through its presets, and I tweaked some of 
its parameters, but didn't dig deeply into tweaking its sounds.
I have several other LinnPlugs; and all are wonderfully well-written and 
easy to run; besides providing absolutely gorgeous sounds.
Reaper exposes all AdrenaLinn plug's parameters, including the step 
sequencer steps, in Reaper's parameters; shift+P in track view.

I don't worry about accessing a plug's parameters any more; since I got 
the $99 Novation Nocturn AutoMap, which scans a plug and assigns all its 
automatable parameters to knobs and buttons on the little Nocturn box.
It's so much nicer just to twist a knob on the Nocturn and hear the 
sound change as I tweak the parameter, way more intuitive than typing in 
values, best $99 I ever spent.

It's been so long since I tried Guitar Rig, I don't remember much about 
access, but I know someone who runs an older version.

To my ears, heavy distorted and compressed patches on the Native 
Instruments programs are more warm and grabby than anything on pedals.

>> For the usual shredding sounds;I already have Guitar Rig and all those modeling plugs.
>> I own the amazing synth Alchemy, where you can take electric guitar samples and stick them in Alchemy's folders, so that Alchemy creates fantasy stringed instruments from them, but you know; instead of just triggering stringed instrument sounds by pressing keys;  it's way more satisfying to directly pick, pluck, dampen, hammer, actual strings to get an infinity of interesting sounds from them.

>> Sometimes I just dread encountering yet another VST where I can't get hold of  not just parameters, but graphical screen icons that let you navigate to features.
>> Since I got the $99 Novation Nocturn and AutoMap; I get  all automatable parameters from VST plugs, so all I need to do is to rotate 8 knobs or push 8 buttons on the Nocturn box, and sounds certainly change, but that's only part of real access to a plug.
>> To get at menus, lists, preset browsers, switches that turn arpeggiation on and off, and other such things, it still requires people like Steve Spamer to dig into the plug's interface and provide scripts.
>> Or, I just content myself with partial access, twist Nocturn's knobs and enjoy the sounds; and don't worry about what I can't get at.
