How can I Share my GUITAR RIG 5 PRO Custom Presets Across Different Computers (Windows)?

  • Since GUITAR RIG 5 the preset database structure has changed. GUITAR RIG 5 uses a tag-based preset browser to facilitate sound administration.

    Note: To access a GUITAR RIG 5 preset database with more than one computer, it is recommended to use the GUITAR RIG 5 default installation paths and folders.

    First, make sure your different systems fulfill the requirements listed below:

    • The same version of GUITAR RIG 5 (eg. GUITAR RIG 5.1.1) must be installed on both computers. Start Native Access or alternatively log into the Native Instruments Website and go to Support > Updates to update to the latest version of your software.
    • Both computers must have the same operating system installed (eg. Windows 7).
    • The name of the system drive must be identical on both machines (eg. 'C' drive).
    • Both computers must have the exact same user name. In the below example the user name is 'Support'. Your computer's user name is listed under: Control Panel>User Accounts and Family Safety>User Account
