Guitar Rig 6 is a multi-effects processor and amp simulator from Native Instruments, designed for musicians and producers working with guitar, bass, strings, drums, synths and other audio sources. It provides a virtual rack of boutique and vintage amp models, cabinet simulations, and effects chains that can be customised and saved. The software operates as an Audio Unit plugin within a compatible host (DAW), and is widely used in professional studios, live performance rigs, and home recording setups. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGuitar Rig 6 now runs natively on Apple Silicon, and that native build is available through Native Access, Native Instruments' official product manager and updater. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build: open Native Access (the host application managing your Native Instruments products), locate Guitar Rig 6 in your library, and install or update it from there. Native Access will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and serve the Universal Binary, which includes both Intel and Apple Silicon code paths. After installation, the native version will perform noticeably better — faster UI responsiveness, lower CPU load, and better battery life — compared to running the Intel-only build under Rosetta 2 emulation. All your existing presets, snapshots and custom chains will carry over without any manual migration.
