The Rig Kontrol

This section is about the integration of GUITAR RIG with the Rig Kontrol pedalboard — if
this does not concern you, you can skip it. To learn how to assign your MIDI controller to
the Virtual Rig Kontrol, refer to section
Virtual Rig Kontrol
The Rig Kontrol is a fully integrated hardware solution for using and controlling GUITAR
RIG 5. Nine freely assignable switches and an expression pedal are at your disposal right
after connecting it. Note that you can use the Rig Kontrol to control GUITAR RIG 5, even
if you do not use it as your audio interface. For detailed information about the hardware
and how to use the integrated audio interface, refer to the Hardware Reference.
Before you continue, make sure that your Rig Kontrol is connected via USB 2.0 and acti-
vate the Virtual Rig Kontrol by clicking on its button in the Toolbar. On the Virtual Rig
Kontrol, each button is headed with an LED indicating its status (on/off). The LED bar left
of the foot pedal shows the degree to which it is pressed down. The Virtual Rig Kontrol
provides an expert panel to manage and configure assignments, e.g. to set the range of
each controlled parameter.

Activating the Rig Kontrol

The RIG KONTROL is automatically activated in GUITAR RIG the moment it is plugged in.
When running multiple instances of GUITAR RIG (for example as a plug-in), the last one
launched is controlled by the RIG KONTROL by default.
