Native Instruments today announced GUITAR
RIG 2 Software Edition, a software-only version of its award-winning
digital guitar studio. Geared toward producers looking for a professional
yet affordable guitar and bass recording solution, the Software Edition
provides the complete arsenal of highly acclaimed amp emulations and
effect modules that has won GUITAR RIG more than 20 international
press awards to date. GUITAR 2 Software Edition offers the full
functionality of the software without any limitations, with only the Rig
Kontrol pedal remaining exclusive to the standard GUITAR RIG 2
package.
“While guitarists love the functionality of the Rig Kontrol, GUITAR RIG
also proved to be very popular with producers who don’t necessarily need
a controller pedal in their studio environment,” says Nils Krueger,
Product Manager Guitar Division at Native Instruments. “The GUITAR
RIG 2 Software Edition specifically accommodates this way of working in
an even more attractive price range.”
GUITAR RIG 2 Software Edition is based on the upcoming 2.2 version of
the GUITAR RIG software, which will offer three additional components
and will also include support for Intel-based Macintosh computers. The
GUITAR RIG 2.2 update will be made available later this month.
Pricing and availability
GUITAR RIG 2 Software Edition will be available in November 2006 for a
suggested retail price of $ 339 / € 299 from authorized dealers and in
the NI Online Shop.
