Can someone walk me through the steps on how I would go about automating the Archetype Plini plugin of a guitar track to automatically switch between presets as I play along to a project? I know it has something to do with MIDI, but I’m completely loss on how to set all this up.

Hi @Hexes and welcome to the community! MIDI control is going to differ with each DAW software and devices etc., this is specifically for Ableton but the process is the same and you would just need to find the same settings within Cubase to accomplish the same. Also, as I am not 100% sure but believe there are some limitations in Elements vs. their Pro versions so make sure Elements supports MIDI control etc.
