virtual amp and effect options, while the *RIP interface provides an input for Les Paul Standard
2010 Limited along with mono or stereo outputs for your mixer, PA, or active speakers.

For a computer ‐ based live performance setup that takes advantage of Les Paul Standard 2010
Limited's eight outputs and individual string processing possibilities , load Ableton Live Lite 8
Gibson Studio Edition into a laptop or other computer. Again, the *RIP provides physical inputs
and outputs for the “virtual rack.” All eight Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited signals are available
in Ableton Live's eight channels, and you can load plug ‐ ins like Guitar Rig 4, or the plug ‐ ins
included in Ableton Live, to process these signals (e.g., octave dividers on only the lower strings
with magnetic pickups going through an amp emulation, etc.). Live provides the routing and
mixing for all these signals, which then go to your amplification system via the *RIP's stereo
output.
•
For a computer ‐ based studio setup , *RIP provides an interface between your guitar and
computer, sending all guitar outputs through the FireWire connector directly to your computer.
Any modern “digital audio workstation” program such as Ableton Live, Cakewalk Sonar, MOTU
Digital Performer, Apple Logic, etc. will recognize these outputs, and allow you to route,
process, mix, and record them within the audio software you're using (called the “host
program”). Because the *RIP also acts as a high ‐ quality computer interface/sound card, your
host program will be able to send its output through the FireWire cable to the *RIP. From there,
the *RIP's stereo output jacks can patch directly to a set of active monitor speakers (or to a
mixer, headphone distribution amp, etc.).
Chapter 2: Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited Robot Tuning Functions
To start playing, pull the MCK out . Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited defaults to the most recently ‐
selected tuning and sound; out of the box, this is standard E ‐ A ‐ D ‐ G ‐ B ‐ e tuning and sound 1. The MCK
Display Matrix shows the letter “S” to represent S tandard tuning. The default tuning is called the
Instant Access Tuning (the default sound is called the Instant Access Sound).
You can change the default Instant Access Tuning (for example, an alternate tuning) rather than the
most recently ‐ selected tuning and even the calibration if you want “A” to be something other than
440Hz, by using the Red Bank's setup functions (see Chapter 6).
2.0 Tuning Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited to the Instant Access Tuning
Once the Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited is in default mode from pulling the MCK out , here's how to
tune to the selected Instant Access Tuning.
1. Strum all six strings normally at the neck pickup position—not too hard or soft. Do not fret
any strings, or touch the neck, while tuning.
