Executive Summary about Canon Pachelbel by Wikipedia
Canon Pachelbel, also known as Canon in D major, or more formally Canon Pachelbel and Gigue in D major for three Violins and Basso Continuo, is one of the most famous pieces of music by Johann Pachelbel.

American film director Robert Redford used the piece as the main theme for his 1980 Academy Award-winning film Ordinary People.

Guitar Rig is popular guitar multi-effects processor software developed by Native Instruments. It is sold either with a pedal board hardware controller called Rig Kontrol, or the software only.
