Hi.
This gig file does preset selection and hands-free randomization of patches for a 3-layer Unify setup of Arturia (VST) synthesizers.
This allows for very easy discovery of great-sounding synth combinations, all of which can be done by touching a footswitch while playing MIDI Guitar.
Too see what this is about, you can view a demo video here:
Here is the gig file, using Arturia Pigments, CZ V, and Jup-8 V4 as the 3 synths:
3-Synth Demo (VST) 01.gig (3.1 MB)
PC Knob Final Value 03a.zip (2.4 KB)
Please note: This will not be a ready-to-use gig file unless you have all the plugins I’ve used. However, by throwing out what’s irrelevant to you, and substituting where necessary, you may be able to realize benefits if this method of discovery appeals to you. Cheers!

Not shown in the video, but perhaps also worth noting - the global rackspace here adapts the fine work of @schamass for use with two drum plugins (EZDrummer3 and JamStix4 in my case).
Ref: How to use radio buttons to recall GP Presets of a plugin and then control those buttons via variations - #17 by brandon
The setup allows drums from either of the two drum plugins to continue to play while guitar/synth rackspaces and variations are changed on-the-fly.
Is unify a plug in host? If so, why not use those synths directly in gigperformer?
For U-he synth users, here you go with the triple layer built using Diva, Bazille, and Hive.

Key information about accessing U-he presets via MIDI messages can be found here: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=436863
Since I’m using Include statements in the gig, it may be necessary to have the included files put in place manually. Those are found in: ‘Div Baz Hiv Selectors 02a.zip’. If someone could PM me about whether that was needed or not, that would be cool. Thanks!
Hi. Here is another rackspace, this one using:
Arturia Pigments, Arturia Augmented Strings, NI Massive
inside of Unify, inside of GP.
3-Synth Demo - Pig AugStr Mas (VST) 01.gig (2.1 MB)
Unify 02b Pig AugStr Mass 01a - GP Preset.zip (326.6 KB)
Unify 04a Pig AugStr Mas (VST) c.rackspace (1.2 MB)
Note for each synth the preliminary was to populate a Playlist (Arturia) or Program List (NI), and it it from these lists that the 3-layer random selection ability of the panels in the rackspace/gig choose to surprise you with new triple layers at the push of a button (or footswitch).
These files should be ready-to-go, with the lists captured in the plugin states. (If that is not the case, please advise.)

That’s what I’d like to know as well!
