Use the Individual String (Hex) Outputs for Stereo Spread
Dark Fire's ability to send individual outputs for each string allows for some truly amazing
effects. This option is most relevant when using Ableton Live and Guitar Rig, but even when
using only the Console, the individual outputs can create some exceptional stereo effects. The
following gives a taste of just what the individual outputs can do.
1. Unmute all Mute buttons except for the Piezo channel, which should be muted. This is
because the hex outputs are derived from the piezo, so adding in the "master" piezo
sound will make the stereo separation less dramatic.
2. Set the faders for each string channel just below the -3 symbol, and the Guitar fader all
the way down (-60.0).
3. Adjust the string channel pan controls as shown: The low E appears in the left channel,
the high E in the right channel, and the other strings are spread in stereo between the
left and right channels. Cool!
4. Let's take this one step further: Bring up the Guitar fader to blend the sound of the
magnetic pickups into the center of the stereo image. This fills out the piezo sound with
the rich magnetic pickup sound.
