Native Instruments Guitar Combos
The Native Instruments Guitar Combos series combines outstanding sound quality with maximum ease of use and playability.
Guitar Combos perfectly recreate three classic combos, using
the same critically acclaimed technology that has already won
Guitar Rig numerous industry awards. The lovingly emulated tube
combos have an absolutely authentic, warm and dynamic sound,
producing the purest of tones. The different presets only hint at the
wide musical spectrum covered by these classic amps.
Professional Sound
The Guitar Combos utilize the same Dynamic Tube Response
technology that was developed for Guitar Rig, giving the series
the same exceptional sound quality. The Guitar Combos are
perfectly suited to musicians with little or no experience of professional music software. A computer, sound card, a guitar and these
combos are all that is needed to enjoy the sound of professional
studio productions.
The Full Spectrum
The AC Box Combo is the popular role model that revolutionized British pop music. From soft to distorted—this combo has
a uniquely inspiring sonic character. The Twang Combo is the
epitome of the clean and crunchy blues sound. Over the course of
several decades this warm and unmistakeable sound has made a
valuable contribution to countless hits. Based on the famous tube
amps that spawned the guitar legends of the late 60s and early
70s, the Plexi Combo embodies the rock sound. Its distinctive and
individual tone can be as warm as it can be hard.

System requirements1.2
To connect your iAXE to a computer, you need a free USB slot.
Your iAXE is compatible with both PC and Mac comput- +
ers. Therefore, no installation procedure or drivers are
required. As soon as you connect your iAXE to a free
USB slot, it will be recognized as generic USB audio
device. However, If you want to use the iAXE for real-time
applications on the PC, e.g. for recording or for use with
the provided Guitar Combos from Native Instruments,
we strongly recommend the installation of the included
USB AUDIO driver to ensure a low latency (see chapter
"Device drivers and latency").
If you want to make use of the included drivers and ap- +
plications, please observe the system requirements of
the respective manufacturers.
To work with the software, your computer must meet the following
minimum requirements:
PC Mac
Operating system Windows XP Mac OS X 10.3.x
Processor
RAM 256 MB 512 MB
Pentium 700 MHz
Athlon XP 1.33 GHz
G4 733 MHz or Intel
Core Duo 1.66 GHz
1.3 Device drivers and latency
A device driver is an interface that ensures communication
between the software (audio application) and the hardware. In
recent years, the PC platform has witnessed the establishment
of several different driver models for sound cards. Some of these
drivers cannot be used for simultaneous recording and playback
or for working with software plug-ins, since they do not support
the full performance provided by professional sound cards and
cause a long time delay (this is called “latency”).
You will normally nd the selection of a driver model for computer
hardware in the standard default settings of the software you are
using. If necessary, check the documentation for your software.
Use the Control Panel to set up a lower latency. The smaller
the value, the better. If audio dropouts occur, try increasing the
latency in stages.
