Live keyboard rig control surface (GigPerformer)by rhaley

This is my layout for controlling my plugins.  All midi controls my Mac running Gig Performer 4 which hosts my plugins:-

Piano - Synthogy Ivory 3, Rhodes - Rhodes pro V8, Synth - Synthmaster 2, Kontakt with voice and brass samples, Hammond - Hammond B3x plugin.

I use image panels from free png images from the internet of buttons that I superimpose at various transparencies over the stock MD buttons and knobs. The hammond I have also used a wood image on the panel.  The other panels have a black image panel with tranparency that has some highlights on it to make it look more real.

I use panels to reveal and hide to keep my live status simple and clear.  I have to use a ‘shape’ that is black to hide or dim that is attached to a transparent panel, as the stock ‘black’ panel is dark grey and doesn’t quite work. I have kept the hiding panels slightly transparent and not completely black so that I can still make out the volumes positions etc before I switch on that sound.

i’ve also put orange ‘dummy’ buttons behind the Rhodes knobs to give them an orange ring glow.

Hope this is useful to someone.
