Rig Manager: USB Foot Switch for easy Rig-Test

BobbyKa · Feb 6th 2014

Rig-Manager is out now and is realy great!
A cool feature is that u can browse through the rigs with the arrow up and down keys of your keyboard and test/preview the rigs.

If u want to browse the rigs without using ur hands (so that u can keep playing guitar while browsing) u can use a usb foot switch like this:

U can assign any Key to the two switches. I assigned the "arrow up" and the "arrow down" keys an this works great for me. Together with the Rig Manager this is a perfect way to test a lot of rigs...

Interpreters use that for example to fast Forward or rewind when transcribing something

I've seen a number of people using similar controllers with their DAWs as well - lets you have basic Record / Stop / Seek control from your drum kit, for instance. I'm sure some of the hardcore MMO players have probably incorporated it too, since those guys never seem to be satisfied with the number of buttons in front of them.

I bought it some years ago and assigned Page up/down keys so i can scroll Tabs in Guitar Pro, Word....
These Switches are also available with 1, 2, 3 or 4 switches. there are endless possibilities to use these Switches. e.g. to control your DAW without using ur hands.

Cool! Here's another tip though, before y'all go out and get a new footswitch:
With this little program here you can translate midi messages into keystrokes. So you can basically use your current midi pedal (FCB for example) to browse through the rigs. I haven't had the chance to try it out yet with the rig manager, but I've used it already with other software and it does the trick.
BTW, you can use the "free trial" of the program indefinitely

Cheers!

People use it also with apps like Setlist Maker.

the boss fs-6 works nice with the kemper. but the switch this thread about doesn't connect to the kemper itself but to the pc to control the rigmanager.

btw: what i don't like about the fs6 is that it needs a battery, and u have to unplugg it each time after using to save battery.

I use a Stinkyboard usb footcontroller. Built like a tank - used it for FPS gaming primarily. Until now !
