 Hey everyone this is Kenny and today I'm going to talk about the new architect software by Blackstar. This is a new and exciting software that Blackstar just created and developed and in this software this has this thing called the cab rig light that is in the new Blackstar ID core v3. So I'm going to fire up the architect software. Here it is cool and this is plugged into the ID core v3 stereo 10 and in the stereo 10 it has a cab rig light which allows you to switch different cabs different microphones and it has its own EQ a low and high control where they could cut or boost those if you wanted to. There's about there's a 112 combo all the way up to an oversized 412 and there are three different microphone options dynamic ribbon and condenser and you could have those either option as an off axis or on axis. So as you can see on the ID core v3 there's for the control there's only the voice options gain volume and ISF control along with the effects and effects level and it's kind of limiting if you want more troubles you know more bass or if you want less trouble or whatever you want you can't control that on the ID core v3 but if you have the architect software you can control all of that in the app itself. So as you can see here there is bass, middle, treble and then also a resonance and presence that is not seen in the amp itself. So that's another cool feature to have and also as you can see it's got a tuner it's got a noise gate option that you want to turn on or off if you want to you can't have that just from the amp you got to have the app to engage or disengage those features and also in modulation you could you could really fine tune the crossover depth speed you could switch between harmonic and non-harmonic tremolo envelope filter the sense the sensitivity and depth all that stuff you could really fine tune it to your likings using the architect app along with the delay and reverb. So any future black star products and even the previous product you could still use architect and still be able to do the same thing as you had on the insider app but now on the architect so highly recommend it. So let's use the ID core v3 and also with a little bit of help of the architect use those two as an audio interface. So I have a logic session opened up already usually if you plug it in it automatically identifies the unit as an audio interface but if you don't see it you could always go to preference audio and on the output and input device there should be an option on which interface you want to use the input or output device want to use so in this case id core amplifier use that and press apply and you should be able to use this whole thing as a playback and also as an input so really cool here we are in order to really get the best out of this I would recommend you running two inputs or two tracks one track input one and then audio two I will set that as an input two so if you have like a stereo imaging or if you have like a ping pong delay or a wide reverb you could really capture the true wide stereo by having these two together and if you want to have fun and if you want to really want to enjoy the playback as a wide stereo I would just hard pan both of these left and right and really get some wide and awesome sound okay so let's run the bright sound and let's hear out sounds and you could always set the level by using this part so this controls how much signal you want to put into the DAW so I have the level pretty low but you can see from the meter right here it's pretty hot already and you could always turn up if you want more so let me turn off the plate I'm at clean bright so if I want to make it even brighter I just turn up the treble and I have um everything else the middle is kind of cranked the bass is cranked a little bit that's a good clean tone beautiful sound now let's go mess around with the cab rig light shall we yes we shall okay so as you can see there's a lot of options 112 combo 112 cabinet open back close back it's a lot of fun stuff here just for the cab and it tells you what kind of cab it is based out of so boom if you click on that I a little information button it tells you what it's based on let's go use the 112 combo and dynamic is kind of more focused condenser is a little bit brighter and ribbon is darker so kind of think about that as like a reference point and off axis on axis it has even more brightness or it kind of makes it more flatter or even darker depending on the microphone so in this case a dynamic off axis is kind of an industry standard way to do it so let's hear how it sounds cool let's switch over to condenser now let's switch over to the ribbon it should be a little bit darker all right now let's get to the fun stuff so I got the multi delay and plate and I have these really soaked wet uh on the plate in the multi delay so let's hear how that sounds I'm gonna add more feedback you hear that trail going through it sounds really good just sitting in front of it you can really hear and experience the white stereo sound and you should be able to hear that too when you're playing it back now let's get to more in the 80s realm shall we yeah why not right um let's go to the chorus flanger turn that on lower the speed crank the morph a little bit and do like a 50-50 mix this just sounds really good if you're playing like tenths so that sounds really nice even with the combo let's switch to like a 412 classic option 2 using condenser and hear how that sounds very cool sound now let's get to a little bit more of the rock side of things shall we go let's go to the super crunch yeah let's go to the super crunch and oversized dynamic rock and roll okay gain my um middle and treble for me just having this eq option is just the main purpose of having the architect app for me at least because I want to have that option to really fine tune the voice and I usually raise the resonance all the way up because just kind of have that nice cushy low end um that you could hear naturally so I have nothing just a noise gate heck yeah tons of mid-range it kind of helps with this p92 rock and roll uh let's go to the hall raise the size and hear how that sounds together I feel like I'm at soundcheck when there's like nobody in the audience and it's just just crew running around you know when you're like and when you're in like a 3000 cedar you know venue I love just kind of cranking that amp and just playing that big power chord with distortion because you can really hear the reverb from the room and this kind of emulates that that reverb is just kills me all the time so there you have it using the id core v3 the architect together as an audio interface it could have so much fun with just these two new features that blacks are is offering for more information please visit blacksramps.com thanks for watching see you
