Anyone using NI Guitar Rig 2?

[Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>]

Hi List,

I had a chance to try out Guitar Rig 2 and found an annoying problem.  
If you assign a MIDI expression pedal to some parameter (like wha- 
wha, volume or delay feedback) some rig patches create a crackling  
noise when the MIDI CC data is streaming. Have other GR2 user noticed  
this?

I'm not using the dedicated hardware pedal, Rig Kontrol 2, but I'm  
wondering if the noise artifact issue is active there too?

Except for the above mentioned bug, GR2 sounds good to me. But it  
does color the sound in a certain way. I was listening to the online  
video where Dwezil Zappa demonstrates that "you can get any sound  
with GR2" and I could clearly hear that every sound he was  
demonstrating sounded as GR2 in the first place and only, secondly,  
reminded of certain well known rigs out there ;-)  But I don't have a  
problem with the typical GR2 sound, it's not bad. I wouldn't mind  
though to have a lot more options for how to patch effects, but I  
guess they would loose sales "as being too complicated" if they  
should open it up for users to patch up effect chains in the same way  
you can do with a FireworX or an Eclipse.
