Hi,
I’m very new to MIDI Guitar. It’s great overall. But just wondering where the mix blend option is? I would like to hear the audio signal blended in with the synth. MIDI Guitar 2 has that feature but I don’t see it in V.3.

There is no dedicated mix blend anymore! Since you now have three Chains, and you can use them however you like (either as a Audio channel, with just audio FX on it or as a MIDI instrument channel) the idea is that you can use one channel for audio and another for a synth and use the Mixer to set the relation between those.
I seem to only be able to edit the one chain. How do I add additional chains? How do I also add the mixer?

Right now it’s possible to crossfade two channels in the mixer by connecting a small cable between them!
EDIT: you have to make a “new patch” for now.
OK, but how do I make a new chain?

New Patch, not new chain.
Is that the “introduction” patch that you have resaved? It is not meant to be used as a starting point for patch construction, really. It is just an introduction to the Chain structure, and a patch to go if you want double check that your guitar sound is still turning into MIDI (using the Test Synth)
This was my question as well, and I had a real case of whiplash from the first to the second sentences, because I am definitely keen to do this very thing too.
“There is no dedicated mix blend anymore!”
Crushing defeat. “Noooo!”
[Shortly into the second sentence: the realization that this is actually a better architecture than before…]
Jubilation. “w00t!”
Duly noted, and I cannot wait to get back home to my instruments to be able to actually put real hands on this!

I found that Reaper still has an FX wet/dry built into the plugin window in the daw, there between the UI toggle & bypass checkbox:
i still cant get it to record midi though.
aside from a linear relationship between guitar and synth one can also use envelope curves.
if you can imagine it you can probably work it up using curves.
- no synth until 50% and then only a gradual increase beyond that
- only synth to 25% and only guitar after 75%
- synth2 only between 40% and 60%

I’m afraid that you don’t know what you are doing.
You now pulled up the Bass tracker and you point to the reverb wet/dry mix button.
i don’t recall if you needed the dry signal only for tracking and not for mixing.
if tracking only, then on your focusrite you can use the direct button to add in the dry signal to the monitoring mix.
Create a new patch in MG3 and you will have 3 empty chains and the “Fader-Mix-Block”. One chain you use for your guitar input if you need that and in the second chain you insert the MIDI output module to make the MIDI output of MG3 available to your DAW (instrument tracks).
