IK Multimedia yesterday announced their latest version of AmpliTube for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Version 4 of the mobile guitar and bass tone studio has been completely redesigned and re-engineered to provide better audio quality and an even more intuitive, player-friendly experience.
AmpliTube's new digital signal processor (the same DSP found in AmpliTube 3 Custom Shop for Mac/PC) provides the same sound quality as the acclaimed desktop version. Its new ‘Cab Room’ lets users simulate miking cabinets in 3D with up to two microphones. To complement this, IK has released 16 new microphone models that are now available for purchase.
AmpliTube's brand new Looper makes it easy to play great-sounding loops while on the go. The Looper gives users a convenient way to make and play up to four loops at a time. The Looper also features MIDI assignable controls, so it can be activated from the floor with any Core MIDI compatible controller like IK's wireless iRig BlueBoard. This is perfect for musicians who want to create their own accompaniment on the fly and also experiment with different melodies, leads and chord progressions. See it in action below.
In addition, musicians can now expand their sonic creativity with more stompboxes in their rig (up to 6 total) via a drag and drop interface that provides four open slots before the amplifier and two open slots afterwards.
Along with these major updates, the latest version also includes a number of interface upgrades, organizational tweaks and other improvements with the aim of making AmpliTube for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch the most professional, cutting-edge and advanced mobile guitar and bass tone studio of all time, and the easiest to use.
