How To Control External Midi Gear

[snowdude316]

Hey All,

I'm running PT11 and am in the process of recording some songs. My guitar amp can be feed MIDI commands to control the various presets I have stored in it. While I do have a foot pedal I'm told I can have PT trigger the change, normally done with my foot pedal, from the PT track itself. Basically, within the guitar track, I want to change the presets within the amp while I'm playing. For me, it's a learning experience and will be one less thing I have to think about while I'm recording the track.

Does anyone have experience with this and if so, any good how-to references that will aid me in the configuration?

Thanks in advance!

That's a pretty simple project. You could make a midi track and output the notes to control patch changes on your amp. I would look into Bome Midi Translator, it has the virtual midi ports and connectivity that would make it really easy. Plus, it can run in the background with Pro Tools.
