Only if you can emulate Windows in a virtual machine.

Pushpin 📌 icon top right corner.

Works perfectly here, but then everything in my system runs through my ASIO interface... windows sounds, mediaplayers, Skype, OBS, YouTube, browser, et al.

I have a highly modified "Gilmour" strat with honed down frets and low action, so all bending is perpendicular to the neck. Mild arthritis doesn't help either. I once had a '73 SG where the frets were like brick pyramids and tall. Sold it very shortly after acquisition. Not so with my '58 gold top LP.

If only my left hand could get those stretches/vibratos like that on my strat, I'd be a happy camper!

There is a "strum" CAL function.

Change your base octave in the preferences.

It looks like a rev E or later (black face) approx 1968-72.

It's never too early to hone that skill set. I use Cubase as well, and artmaps are very similar in function. Here is a very good primer.

You could also simplify your life by creating & using articulation maps for the instrument. The 'C0' nomenclature stems from the lowest playable notes on a standard 88 key piano, where "middle C" is commonly C4. Many DAW's (and VST instrument manufacturers) prefer C3 as 'middle C', hence the confusion. In the PRV, you should be able to enable articulations starting from the lowest note, and map them from there.

The principles of physics and magnetism still apply, regardless.

You've got electromagnetic field issues which are common in consumer grade audio electronics. Make sure that power & audio/data cables are not physically laid in parallel, move things around to minimize noise, and use a USB cable with a ferrite choke on it.

Between bad product, overabundance of bloatware, and terrible support, my last HP laptop went in the dumpster in 1998. I've never recommended one since.

Not all EFX have side chain inputs. You may want to try a "trance gate"... Kilohearts has a freebie that is minimal but functional.

To all those with an unhealthy obsession about antique technology:
