IK Multimedia has announced the new version of AmpliTube for the mobile guitarist and bassist: AmpliTube 2 for iPad. Here's what they have to say about it...
This new version of AmpliTube for iPad has many new features designed to streamline and enhance the mobile guitar and bass playing experience: from the creation and naming of guitar signal chain tone presets to importing, recording and exporting audio. Players will hear the difference in the improved sounds of the gear models, and more importantly, record their performances quickly and easily with the new built-in recorder.
Multi-Effects Processor for Guitar & Bass
At its core, AmpliTube 2 for iPad is a complete multi-effects processor for guitar and bass, replicating the sounds and tones of some of the most historically significant gear of the audio world. Players can build a complete guitar or bass rig with 4 daisy-chained stompbox effects running into an amplifier, speaker cabinet and microphone. Each component is fully functioning with precise control over all parameters.
5 New Stomps
AmpliTube 2 for iPad features 5 new stompbox models available a-la-carte as in-app purchases: Compressor, Reverb, Graphic EQ, Parametric EQ and Limiter. Each model is available a-la-carte for $2.99 each.
Recording – Built-In 8-Track Recorder
The standout feature in AmpliTube 2 for iPad is the addition of high quality recording functionality (single track available in the free update), expandable to a full-featured 8-track recorder with a master effects section (via in-app purchase, $14.99). Each individual track features a record enable button, an insert effect (the customizable AmpliTube amp and effects signal chain), volume control, pan control, solo & mute switches, plus 2 send effect level controls for adding ambience and depth with reverb, chorus and delay from the master effects section. The master effects section also features a global equalizer and compressor for final sound tweaking and polishing.
AmpliTube 2 for iPad allows players to record their band, or produce complete multi-track songs and compositions directly in AmpliTube without any additional software. The "bounce" feature frees up track space by "bouncing" all audio tracks down to a single track, freeing up more recording space.
Practice – New SpeedTrainer Function
Backing tracks and other audio can now be imported directly onto a recorder track from the iPod music library on the device, or from a host computer. Players can change the tempo of audio material using IK's popular "SpeedTrainer" feature for learning complex riffs or working on technical skills. Tempo can be adjusted from -50% to + 200% while the pitch remains unaffected.
Plus, you can use the iRig with line level signal sources such as synthesizers, keyboards or mixing consoles and have an iKlip, the universal microphone stand adapter for iPad, whenever you are on stage, in the studio, at school or in the boardroom.
