AmpliTude 2 is here
IK Multimedia has announced a major update to AmpliTube for iPhone, adding considerable weight to its claim that the app is “the leading guitar software for iPhone.” Available from the App Store now, AmpliTube 2.0 features the following upgrades:
“New built-in one-track recorder with re-amping feature (free update)
New multi-track recorder with 4 tracks and master FX section with 3 effects: Reverb, EQ and Compressor (available as in-app purchase)
5 new stompbox effects: Compressor, Reverb, Parametric EQ, Graphic EQ and Limiter (available as in-app purchase)
Improved sound quality of gear and cabinets with DSP parts derived from AmpliTube 3 and T-RackS 3 for Mac/PC (free update)
Export recordings and mixes as high quality WAV audio files or send them by email as MP3s (free update)
Import songs as backing tracks directly from user iPod library, from iTunes using file sharing or Wi-Fi (free update)
New SpeedTrainer allows players to slow down/speed up imported songs without affecting the pitch (free update)
Up to 50 songs can now be imported (free update)
New preset naming feature (free update)
New Setup panel including input and output level controls (free update)
New scrollable menu for easier and faster gear selection in the FX and AMP sections (free update)”
And the rest… This version also features 50 song slots for import and a setup panel with input and output controls. That adds to the existing features of AmpliTube for iOS:
- Tuner, metronome.
- 3 simultaneous stomp slots, plus an amp with effects, cabinet, and mic settings.
- Low-latency playback.
There are three versions; even the free version is fairly capable. (The free version also includes add-on support, so if you just want the four-track recorder, you can even add it to the free release.)
AmpliTube: 11 stompboxes, 5 amps + cabinets, 2 microphones $19.99/€15.99.
AmpliTube LE: 5 stompboxes, 1 amp + cabinet, 2 microphones $2.99/€2.39.
AmpliTube FREE: 3 stompboxes, 1 amp + cabinet, 2 microphones, free
Additional stomps are US$2.99/EUR2.39 each.
Stay tuned for some video; let us know your impressions if this is something you use.
AmpliTube iRig (which, incidentally, attaches to the audio jack, not the Dock Connector – meaning you could use this and a MIDI adapter at the same time)
