Native Instruments Rig Kontrol 3at a Glance:

• Connect two guitars or basses simultaneously
• Take control!
• Seamless integration with the software
• New Snapshot feature

Connect two guitars or basses simultaneously
Two inputs allow the use of two guitars or basses simultaneously. Monitor everything with the dedicated headphone socket without needing a P.A. Ideal for practicing and on the road!

Take control!
Rig Kontrol 3’s continuous expression pedal and its nine switches are easily assignable to any parameter and afford complete real-time control of Guitar Rig 3. Should you need real-time access to more parameters additional controllers and pedals may be connected to the dedicated inputs as well as to the MIDI interface. Switch presets, turn effects on and off, use the pedal as a wah-wah or volume pedal – all while keeping your fingers on the strings. The controller’s data is transmitted via USB 2.0 – ensuring a much higher resolution and more precise control than via MIDI.

Seamless integration with the software
The Guitar Rig 3 software allows fast, easy and convenient assignment of Rig Kontrol 3’s switches and pedal to software parameters and saves the assignments with the preset. If you wish, you can define a different controller assignment for every preset. The new modulation matrix makes it possible to control multiple parameters just one controller, e.g. control the delay time, delay feedback and delay wet/dry with one pedal movement!

New Snapshot feature
The new snapshot function makes it possible to store different states of the same rack, this means you can change as many parameters of the current preset as you like with the push of one button. Imagine laying down different snapshots of one song for chorus, verse or bridge – with complete ease and efficiency…
