messages in real time.
In certain host applications, the GTR plug-ins will
automatically register a MIDI input node and allow you to
route the output of a MIDI track to the plug-in’s MIDI input
node. The input of the MIDI track needs to be configured to
receive MIDI from GTR Ground.
Once the host application can receive MIDI from GTR Ground
and relay it to the GTR plug-ins, you can control the Waves
Amp or Waves Stomp plug-ins, as well as the complete GTR
plug-in.
The Waves GTR Plug-in will have the same functionality as in
Standalone mode. However, most hosts do not allow the GTR
plug-in to send messages to the GTR Ground, so the displays

Using GTR Ground to control the GTR plug-in is especially
convenient if you are recording live with effects, or if you
recorded a direct guitar and you would like to add expression
during the post-recording stage to the same take. It is
important to record the MIDI information to a MIDI track so
you can then refine it for the best results.

Messages are sent in a format compatible with other USB
MIDI devices, sending discrete MIDI controller information
from buttons and continuous controls.
The controller ID for each control of the Waves GTR Ground
control unit is fixed in its firmware. Thus, using it successfully
