Control your Guitar Rig Easily
Turn ordinary MIDI notes into clearly labelled Program Changes, Control Changes, scenes and performance commands for your guitar processor, pedalboard, keyboard or live rig.
From $29 USD · Approximately $41 AUD No subscriptions
Guitar rig automation made simple
Control your guitar processor directly from the song timeline.
RigBridge is a macOS MIDI plug-in and standalone application that turns ordinary DAW notes into clearly labelled Program Changes, Control Changes, preset changes, scenes, stomps and performance commands. It gives guitarists, playback engineers and touring bands a simple way to automate a complete guitar rig from Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Bitwig Studio, REAPER, FL Studio and other compatible hosts.
- Automate presets, scenes, stomps, boosts, delays, modulation, tuner commands and other processor functions.
- Place several labelled rig changes on the same beat and move them with the arrangement.
- Start with included processor maps or easily create, edit, import and export your own custom maps.
- Send directly to a physical MIDI output when the DAW does not provide convenient MIDI pass-through.
- Use Standalone, Audio Unit or VST3 on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
- Try the complete version for 30 minutes per launch, then buy once with five computer activations and no subscription.

Add your own processor
Create a user map for another guitar processor, keyboard, pedal or MIDI device. Copy an existing map, then edit its labels, colours, PC commands, CC commands and values.
Processor maps are based on publicly available manufacturer manuals, MIDI implementation charts and specification sheets. Compatibility, commands and firmware behaviour may change without notice. Not every device or firmware version has been physically tested. Always test your complete rig before rehearsal or performance.

Visible rig automation
Turn MIDI notes into real rig commands.
Place an ordinary note in your DAW. RigBridge translates it into the exact Program Change, Control Change or model-specific message your hardware needs.
The complete command surface
Ninety-six keys. Every cue in one place.
The keyboard provides 48 Program Change keys and 48 Control Change keys, giving presets and performance functions their own visible home.
No more mystery numbers
Read “Solo boost,” not “CC 27.”
Every key can show a plain-English name, note and octave. Colour-code related functions so the arrangement remains readable at rehearsal and on stage.
Complex changes made simple
Trigger several rig changes on the same beat.
Stack labelled notes to change a preset, delay, modulation and boost together. The piano roll becomes a compact cue sheet for the performance.
Processor-ready
Start with maps built from published MIDI charts.
Choose a supported processor and begin with its presets, scenes and common functions already arranged across the keyboard. Override any key when your setup differs.
Ampero scenes
Every Ampero scene gets its own key.
Ampero II, Ampero II Stage and Ampero II Stomp expose their documented scenes as individual labelled commands instead of one ambiguous scene selector.
Your rig, your language
Edit the label, command, value and colour.
Use Edit mode to change a key's PC or CC assignment, number, value, label and colour. Save an override without rebuilding the rest of the map.
Custom hardware
Build a map for the rig only you use.
Six user slots are ready immediately, with room to create more. Copy an existing processor as a starting point or build a completely custom control layout.
Map by moving
MIDI Learn finds the controller for you.
Select a key, arm MIDI Learn and move the real hardware control. RigBridge captures the incoming CC so you do not need to search the manual again.
Portable show files
Import, export and copy your maps.
Move custom user layers between machines, backups and projects with JSON import and export. Keep a tested rig map with the rest of your production files.
Direct hardware routing
Send straight to a physical MIDI output.
Select the destination inside RigBridge when host pass-through is awkward. This is especially useful in FL Studio and other workflows where external MIDI routing requires extra port configuration.
Ableton Live
Put multiple rig changes anywhere in the song.
Ableton clip Program Change is tied to clip launch. RigBridge lets Session and Arrangement clips contain as many labelled note cues as the verse, chorus, solo and outro require.
Logic Pro
Keep PC and CC commands together in the region.
Instead of splitting program settings and controller work across different parts of Logic, use named notes as one visible rig-control vocabulary.
FL Studio
Use the Piano Roll, then route directly out.
Sequence ordinary notes in FL Studio and let RigBridge send the mapped result directly to your selected physical MIDI interface when plug-in pass-through is difficult.
Cubase
Replace number-heavy controller lanes with named cues.
Arrange readable functions in the Key Editor and keep the processor-specific CC values inside RigBridge rather than scattered through controller data.
Performance controls
Choose when and how each CC is sent.
Use note-on triggering, optionally turn note velocity into the outgoing CC value, choose independent PC and CC channels, and audition commands by clicking the keyboard.
Three ways to run
Standalone, Audio Unit and VST3 are included.
Use RigBridge directly on macOS or load it in a compatible DAW. The universal build supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Built for touring
Five activations cover the machines that matter.
Authorize the main show computer, backup laptops and pre-production systems under one licence. The standalone app, AU and VST3 share the same machine activation.
No venue internet required
Activate once, then work offline.
The licence is validated Online during activation. RigBridge does not need a recurring online check in the middle of a rehearsal or show.
Try the real thing
The FREE version runs for 30 minutes per launch.
Test your DAW, MIDI interface, processor map, scenes, channels and direct output before buying. The demo is the complete workflow, not a reduced feature list.
