Native Instruments has released Guitar Rig 3.1 (Mac/Win). With this free software update, the digital guitar studio now offers improved modeling, better sound quality, and various user enhancements.

Guitar Rig 3.1's high-precision algorithms provide reduced noise for the virtual amps and stomp box components, with no increase in processor load. The end result is saturated high-gain tones without the usual amount of background hiss.

This new version offers other improvements, including the ability to handle multiple rack components at once, a better Live View with more customization options, improved Rig Kontrol integration, a revised user manual, and extended support for external foot pedals.

Registered users of Guitar Rig 3 Kontrol Edition and Software Edition can download the 3.1 update for free at www.native-instruments.com.
