Product Description
Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4 is the long awaited update to version 3, and is a state-of-the-art computer modelling amp software. It features 15 different amp models, several cabinet types and plenty of modelled effects. It also features a "tape-deck", metronome, tuner, loop machine and can be connected together with the GR3 controller to be used in live situations. It works both as a standalone, VST-instrument and is RTAS compatible for Pro Tools users. NI seems to move towards the session/live player with this platform and this product is not solely for home/studio use. There are four alternatives available at the moment of the software in different price ranges/configurations as listed below. There are also updates available to GR3 owners at a reduced price.
