BERLIN, Germany (MuseWire) – Native Instruments has announced a free update to GUITAR RIG 5 PRO which provides various new features, fixes and improvements (as you might expect from an update!); now known as version 5.1.

This update provides the following new features, fixes and improvements:
1. Mid/Side Splitter: Split the signal into mid and side channels for a whole new approach to stereo processing.
2. Global Sidechain: This global component applies sidechaining to the whole signal chain. Essential for frequency-specific compression and more.
3. Favorites Tab: Fast access to the components you use most. This new tab automatically groups the components and presets you use regularly.
4. New Demo Mode: Just drag the effect you want to try into your rack and take it for a spin. No re-starting, no need to change modes.

To install the update, please start the NI Service Center. Open the ‘Update’ tab, make sure the checkbox for GUITAR RIG 5 PRO is checked, and click the ‘Download’ button. When the download is finished, unzip the files and run the installer.
