Description

Native Instruments Guitar Rig 6 is amp and effects modelling software rather than hardware, running as a plugin or standalone host. Version 6 rebuilt the amplifier models on machine-learning-based circuit capture rather than the earlier analytical approach, and added the Intelligent Circuit Modeling components alongside the existing rack of cabinets, modulation and delay modules.

The Oberheim OB-Xa is a programmable polyphonic synthesizer renowned for warm, fat bass and lush pad tones. Its eight voices, envelope modulation, and sequencer provide deep sound design capabilities. The OB-Xa remains iconic for its role in 1980s and 1990s electronic and pop music.
