How Does NI Guitar Rig Footpedal Work?

[Frankgb]

Hi,

Is anyone familiar with Native Instruments Guitar Rig???

It uses a footpedal connected to one of your soundcard inputs to adjust parameters within the program, the pedal has a 9v supply.  Wouldn't 9v DC kill the soundcard?

I'm asking coz I'm starting to play around with Synthedit and wondered if it's possible to knock something up to control Synthedit parameters.

cheers

I actually know nothing about the pedal, but there was a thread about this earlier. Heres the link to it:

I think this was mentioned in the other thread, but I've heard somewhere that the control signals are sent on one channel, and your guitar is sent on the other. It's a stereo cable, and it accepts a monaural guitar, so you have that other channel open.

Nonstandard data signals, I'm sure, but SynthEdit might have enough tools to deal with them.

It would be interesting, stupid, and dangerous to try putting various control voltages into the second channel and seeing if you could get Guitar Rig to do anything.
