Rig Manager Questions

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

I’m “re-doing” my Gig files and rack spaces from scratch and have decided it is probably a good idea to use the Rig Manager. I read one tutorial/blog here on it, but I’m a bit confused I think.

I create a couple MIDI device aliases and a couple of control aliases. I do NOT associate them with any actual hardware devices. The control ones work as I would expect … they are available to map to widgets in my panels.

The input ones however, do not show up in the list of MIDI input devices in the wiring view? If I go associate them with hardware in the Rig Manager screen, then they do. However, what if I want to set up all this stuff “offline” with no keyboards connected? How do I do that?

I’m new the the Rig Manager, so perhaps I am not understanding something or am just missing a step. TIA for assistance!

You can use virtual midi devices.

That’s what I thought the Rig Manager did/was? Where/how to i create a virtual MIDI device?

Ok, on windows there are solutions to create virtual midi ports you can use as device in rig manager

Maybe that helps

OK - sounds like something I do outside of GP? I’d rather stay in GP if I can.

I was hoping I could just set up aliases called “Keyboard 1” and “Keyboard 2” without having actual keyboards connected, and then use them in the wiring view. Later when I did have keys hooked up, I could assign them to the Keyboard 1 or 2 alias and everything would be happy. I guess it doesn’t work that way?

Midi devices are always outside Gig Performer

I downloaded loopMIDI and very easily was able to set it up. THX!
