2:51 you have the what opened ? And how did you open it ?!?

Thanks for your comment! At 2:51 a new project is opened via Logic Pro X, the last project you had open should open by default but you can use the shortcut CMD + N on Mac to create a blank project! Hope this helps!

[@markusschaffer2418]

Hi guys! I wanted to ask how to do this properly with the CabRig. I understand what it's about, but I'm failing miserably at implementing it... I normally go straight into an AI with my guitar and from there via USB-C into the MacBook, where I have various plugins that I also use in a DAW. If I go directly from the CabRig-Out into the AI, everything sounds a bit "dull". The Architect software only works via USB-C from the Blackstar Head to the MacBook, of course. But what exactly is the signal chain like if I want to use the amp in my DAW via the Architect software...?!? I don't quite understand it... I'm happy for any help, thanks!

[@ezaschatzi9221]

May I know what (DAW) are you using?

[@Blackstaramps]

Hi Eza! Alongside our free software Architect, Logic Pro X is the DAW being used for the video 🤘

I'm having a problem registering my product. I'm a little upset that I need to register the product so that I can download the architect software. I've created an account, found the correct product name from the list, got the correct serial number, added the name of the store that I purchased it from but when I attempt to upload the receipt of purchase it won't load.

[@Blackstaramps]

Hello E&C, please could I ask that you attempt registering your product at first without the receipt, by providing the model of your amp, the serial number and date of purchase. Your receipt can be uploaded at a later date.

Is the cab rig lite simulation sound coming out of the amp or the laptop speakers?

[@Blackstaramps]

The Cab-Rig output is via the USB / Headphone / Live Streaming output only. So you can only monitor it that way. :)

[@nijazkovacevic9607]

When you connect Architect with ID TVP 15 there is no cab and mic sim, presence and resonance knobs and some effects which you have in this video. Are those options available only with ID Core?

[@Blackstaramps]

Cab Rig Lite (cab and mic sim) is only available for the ID:CORE V3 at the moment. Though you can still use the Architect software with your ID TVP.

[@nemocoreelite]

Can I add the patches from the Insider Community? How can I do that? Can the patches created with ID 60 or Silverline be stored in my ID Core V2? Is there an index about the patches categorized into amp model?

[@Blackstaramps]

Hi Mattia. Yes you can upload patched to the online community with Architect. Download the Architect software and use the online community to browse and add patches. You can share patches across all of our digital amp ranges too, though there may be slight tonal changes. I hope this helps!

[@markr2159]

Can you run both Insider AND Architect? Windows environment, ID:15TVP amp.

[@Blackstaramps]

No, you can't. Either delete the existing software, Insider and download the latest version, Architect. Or Keep Insider software as it is.

[@aimangotze]

Hi, is there a way to see if patches are compatible with my amp? I am using the 10w V3 and everytime i load patches from the community it always says it is not the same amp.

[@Blackstaramps]

Hi Aiman, yes all patches will be compatible with your IDC V3 10. The reason some patches may suggest the amp is different is because the Architect platform works across many different designs like Silverline / ID Core high Power models etc. This means that some of the effects are slightly different. An example might be a patch designed with a Flanger effect might be different on your amp because that segment is an envelope filter on the V3 models. It is safe to try any patch you download and adjust / edit to taste from there.

[@brianm9902]

question Cab Lite do you need headphones to use cab lite ? and also with patches when I was in the Architect forum download patch it will state this patch was not will with version 3 ?

[@Mr-Safology]

You can connect to DAW, speakers or headphones to amp so you can hear/ monitor the cab lite.

[@brianm9902]

@@Mr-Safology I am returning the amp the hum was bad there is definite electrical issues with these amps there is loads of people saying the same thing , the shop where I purchased it heard it from my phone they said oh that's not good, and Blackstar has not responded first Blackstar product last Blackstar product ,

[@Blackstaramps]

Hi Brian, Cab-Rig can be heard via the USB recording output, or via the 3.5mm specific Cab-Rig line output. This could be a stereo mini jack to 2 x 1/4 jacks into your interface or two channels on your mixer or lastly headphones. The feature is built into the amp for a recording direct feature or jamming silently.

[@Blackstaramps]

Hi Brian, this maybe down to the Cab-Rig lite overall master level output could be too high, causing some overtone distortion and unwanted noise. Try bringing this down within the Architect software & it should cure this. Also, if your pick ups are high output and you prefer a tighter tone, there’s an optional noise gate to use if you wish.

[@brianm9902]

​@@Blackstaramps cab rig was not used the shop heard over the phone it was that noticeable Noise Gate was on the shop will be issuing a full refund, it happens but I am not sure if I will go for an ID Core again there has been more people experiencing the same issue,

Does ID:core 10 V2 have the noise gate option?

[@adamduncan123456]

I have a V2 40 and found in the settings menu an option for noise gate, can be set to "low" or "high." But not the pedal as shown here. Also don't have presence or resonance controls for V2s

[@Zuracooking]

@@adamduncan123456 yepp same, no pedal , Just low or high

@@adamduncan123456 Dang. This is the answer I was looking for. So basically just the addition of an actual EQ in Architect, correct?

[@YasserFallaha]

Hey Blackstar!! Can I use this for my Blackstar stereo 10 V2?? also can I use insider software on mac big sur ??

[@Blackstaramps]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, Architect is fully compatible with your ID:Core 10 V2. Architect is also fully compatible with Big Sur, but the discontinued INSIDER software is not. Hope this helps!

[@philidor9657]

That's some cool software. I was just thinking about how limiting some of the effects on the IDcore v3 are, especially the lack of a 3-band EQ. Glad I came across this because I learned about another (more expensive) amp that had software like this and thought I made the wrong decision. Nope, the IDcore v3 is still a good decision. Now to find my micro USB and to see about hooking it up to my big 1x16 bass amp for some more "umph". I know there's no 1/4 inch output jack on the IDcore v3 to run into another amp, but do you think it would work if you run the blackstar through your computer, and the computer into an amp? I have my computer hooked up to speakers which I can connect with my 1x16 bass amp. Dunno if that's too much work for what it's worth though.

[@andrewelliott]

I'm toying between this and the spark, I had a Blackstar tvp and loved it. Are there downloadable pre-sets for the architect software like there is with the spark tonecloud? I really just want to be able to search and download, I'm not looking to start tweaking settings and spending time building my own patches. I.e. I want a john mayer tone, or a slash tone, with tonecloud you can find them and youre done within minutes. Is this the same?

[@Blackstaramps]

Yes, we have the online community built into Architect. Here you can search for presets and load them into your ID Core V3 amp. There’s also the dice button to randomise amp and effects settings. This can be really great when trying to explore different tones. Hope this help!

[@peebarlo454]

Can I use the Architect software with my ID Core Beam? Thanks.

[@Blackstaramps]

Yes, It is compatible with ID:CORE BEAM.

[@saggitariandude637]

My questions would be... 1. Tuner range? Can it tune instruments to 432hz/ alternate tunings? 2. Tap tempo for modulation, is it variable and does it stand alone away from the delay tempo? 3. Delay tempo, can it be tweaked? Can it maintain a 90bpm while the modulation is perhaps running a 60bpm tap tempo? 4. How is the grounding of the amp? The power socket is three pin and the amp power input is a two pin, will there be any noise issue? Thank you so much... Had the first generation BlackStar Beam, Blackstar Fly Stereo and HT5R.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Every channel has multiple delays, and multiple reverbs but not multiple distortions. Seriously??? Better love the one option that you get. This should be as versatile as the Boss Katana.

[@jacktomkinson2692]

I've bought the amp - where do I download the software?

[@Blackstaramps]

Hey Jack, from here - www.blackstaramps.com/uk/ranges/idcore-v3#architect

[@alphapolarfrequency2787]

what's the difference between v2 and v3

[@Blackstaramps]

The big differences are the Architect software featuring our new Cab-Rig lite platform for direct jamming via headphones or recording via USB. Cab-Rig comes with a huge choice of cabinets, mics on or off axis, and speaker tweaking. Giving you some amazing control for recorded tones. Unlike IR’s which are a snapshot these are totally customisable by the user. You can also direct live stream or pre record video / audio simultaneously via our streaming output. All by using a TRRS cable. Finally one of the other big changes is that you can power your ID core V3 amps with our PB-1 rechargeable lithium battery for up to 8 hours portable battery life.
