Guitar Rig 5 Changelog

What's new in Guitar Rig 5 5.1.0

Mar 23, 2012
  • The enhancements in GUITAR RIG 5 PRO provide a new level of power and authenticity. Hear for yourself — over 130 new presets put the new amps effects through their paces, all tweaked to sonic perfection in the almost limitless new mixing environment Control Room Pro.
  • TWO NEW AMPS:
  • The Van 51 delivers superstar signature sound from hard rock to blistering crunch — great for drop tunings and menacing palm-muted chug.
  • The Hot Solo+ recalls a classic hand-wired amp with a boutique, responsive overdriven tone. For expressive, singing solos that still sound heavy as hell, the Hot Solo+ is your amp.
  • SIX NEW EFFECTS:
  • Fast Comp — A warm, vintage-style compressor for keeping your peaks in check. Essential for clean sounds.
  • Vintage Verb — Eight different classic plate and spring reverbs. Not just for retro — also great for adding class and character.
  • Little Reflektor — Advanced convolution reverb, based on the acclaimed REFLEKTOR, with eight impulse responses plus decay and low cut control.
  • Stereo Tune — Not a tuner! Spreads and detunes the stereo image for a fatter sound and de-tuned effects.
  • Filterbank — Drastically transform your sound with this powerful 8-band filter, with a global frequency shift and stretch parameter for highly expressive effects.
  • Resochord — Turn notes into chords and get shimmering, resonating sci-fi chorus with this six-pole harmonizer.

Assemble your processing chain, then assign the eight macro-controls to the key controls on any of the effects in the chain. It's a great way to get simple control over your sound, and an essential tool for performance.
  • CONTROL ROOM PRO:
  • Extending the already comprehensive mix options in the Control Room, the new 'Pro' version gives you eight custom setups at once, for the ultimate in extravagant, almost limitless fine-tuning. Arm each track of the 8-track mixer with your choice of cabinet, mics and positioning. Choose from 27 cabinets, up to 16 microphones and up to three mic positions, including room mics. Then juggle the levels for intense sonic perfection.
  • Control Room Pro is powered by high-quality impulse responses from Redwirez.
  • OVER 130 NEW PRESETS:
  • The sound designers at NATIVE INSTRUMENTS have been busy with the new amps and effects, and they've created over 130 new presets. Highlights include an array of warm, absolutely realistic clean sounds, a number of searing distortion presets and ready-to-use multi FX.
  • ADDED SIDE-CHAINING:
  • Side-chaining is an extremely useful technique for reducing sonic clutter and creative 'pumping' effects. GUITAR RIG 5 PRO adds side-chain inputs to a number of compressors and Modifier modules, making it e
