As you will see later on, a simple controller like mine can be built for well under $20, including the enclosure! Commercial Foot pedals that control Guitar Rig are available, but are difficult to find and very expensive ($300)!Īfter thinking for awhile about the subject, I got an idea! I remember reading that some of the newer Arduinos offered usb HID simulation, including keypresses! I could simply make my own box with some momentary switches and I would have the same product at a fraction of the cost. While it is possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to various presets, trying to hit a key on a keyboard and play at the same time is not so easy. (Guitar Rig 5 Interface) (Lenovo Miix 2 8") (Berhinger USB Interface)ĭue to the very nature of the setup, changing presets/pedals in real time while playing is not something that is easy to do with a tablet. Unfortunately, this also comes with a downside.

Using win8.1 圆4 bit with updated ASIO drivers, the little system packs quite a punch even the most complex effects only give a latency of about 13ms! The software is great, it allows you to simulate/add as many effects/pedals as you want without needing to buy dozens of expensive pedals. My father recently acquired an electric guitar, which he has been happily using in combination with Guitar Rig 5 (a guitar pedal/amp simulation software), a Behringer UCG102 guitar link, and a Lenovo miix tab 2.
