Like with many ex-Avid developers it's interesting that he is playing in the growing UAD ecosystem.

Ive found that, although not supported currently, it will work of a fashion in catalina with ultimate if you use the penultimate driver instead of the latest. I had it running on spdif into my rednet Dante setup. Recorded a couple of tracks then I updated the driver and it disappeared. It does crash on quit though with the earlier driver but will allow you to save.

So am I understanding correctly that Eleven Rack cannot be used as a midi converter device for using a guitar as a controller anymore? In Catalina? Man that totally sucks ass if so, as I've not used it in a while and now suddenly I need it.

So what's now the best way to get to turn an electric guitar into a midi controller?

When sequencing guitar parts using samples, I find playing the real deal makes the part much more authentic.

You can turn a regular guitar into a MIDI controller with an Eleven rack?

The Eleven Rack is an amp sim/effects processor. You can use MIDI to control changing parameters/rigs in the Eleven Rack from a computer or from a MIDI pedalboard (which does not rely on any driver). The Eleven Rack has never done anything you are talking about.
