Hi all. 

 I'm a bit late to the game having just recently upgraded to X1. I'm having trouble with GR4LE. It's installed and activated. It opens as a plugin but there are no modules available and the path under 'Options' is greyed out. GR3LE works fine. 

 I'm figuring that the install may be the problem and I've read that the update patches may fix things. Before I re-install I'm hoping someone can tell me where the default install location is. I can't seem to find it and the custom install option for X1 wants to put it under "Programs\Sonar X1 Producer". It then wants to create all of the sub folders that are typically under the 'Utilities' folder. 

 GR3 is under "x86 Program files" and I'm assuming that GR4 is 64 bit so it should go under "Program files\Cakewalk\Utilities..." correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

BTW, I'm on Win7 Pro with X1 Expanded. The User Control Panel won't let me update my sig.

You need to go to NI website and download the latest update.

Thanks Ted. 

Yep I did that. I'm hoping someone will tell me the install locations.

I am trying to understand the issue you are having.

Beginning with Guitar Rig 4, it will operate in stand-alone fashion, but it is no longer by default usable asa plug in SYNTH.

It is configured, by Native Instruments, to now run as an audio EFFECT.  To get to GR 4 LE, insert it as an audio effect on an audio track, and you will be able to use it there.

If needed, you could still open the properties in Plugin Manager in Sonar to tell it to also configure as a synth, for instance if you wanted to have some external midi-capable guitar pedal board, such as the Behringer FCB 1010 or whatever it is called.  (To use the midi learn functions of Guitar Rig 4 or 5 you need to tell Sonar to configure it as a synth, then load it into your audio track as a synth and use a separate midi track to have the foot board as the input and the output set to GR 4 or 5).

Anyways, just to get it up and going, try to plug it in the FX bin for an audio track as an audio effect, and it should work fine.

Please post back with your results.

Hi Bob. 

I AM inserting GR4LE as a plugin I just doesn't have any of the amps or cabs or FX modules. I'm pretty sure it's not installed correctly. That's why I was asking for the install location. I'm going to use the info John supplied and try again. I'll let you know what happens. 

Thanks everyone.

Apparently I'm having problems with the forum software. I keep getting one long paragraph. I can't edit my profile either. Any suggestions? Thanks. 

Paul

If you are using a recent version of FireFox you will need to use the IE Tab addon, or get an older version of FireFox 3.something or use a different browser.

Thanks Steve. That's not working either.

Hi - thanksfor explaining.

On my system, I use Guitar Rig 5 Pro, but maybe it works the same for 4 LE, I don't know.

My presets are located at: 

D:\Users\Bob\Documents\Native Instruments\Shared Content\Sounds\Guitar Rig 4

Please note that although I have my user folders located on my D: Drive the rest of the path is what was set by the install.

I do not see where I can change that path as an option from within the program - it looks like that was handled in the install, and even there may have been automatic.

Hope that helps,
