New AmpliTube® release for iPhone, iPad adds
iOS 7 support, featuring Inter-App Audio routing system

The most popular guitar-playing and recording-studio app
adds iOS 7 support and Inter-App Audio functionality

September 24, 2013 – IK Multimedia, the pioneer and global leader in music-creation software, mobile apps and music-making hardware for musicians, engineers and producers, is pleased to announce a new version of AmpliTube for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, the full-featured guitar studio and recording app for mobile musicians, which adds iOS 7 compatibility as well as the ability to use AmpliTube as a filter app in the new iOS 7 “Inter-App Audio” feature.

iOS 7 Compatibility
The new version of AmpliTube (version 3.1) is fully compatible with iOS 7, the new operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which means you can create music on the go with the latest mobile functions and features available, including the new Inter-App Audio routing feature.

Inter-App Audio Support
Inter-App audio allows audio apps to communicate with each other and stream the audio output from one app to another. This feature is extremely handy for adding effects, and processing the audio stream from one app and sending it to another. AmpliTube can be used as a “filter” app in iOS 7 for processing the audio from other apps, allowing musicians to use all of the stompbox and amplifier effects with any live (real-time) or recorded material. This feature is similar to AudioBus functionality, but provides the opportunity for more complex routing. AmpliTube is fully AudioBus compatible as well, making it the most flexible audio-processing and recording app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Effects, Amp, Cabinet, Mic, Multi-track Recorder & DAW – All in One App
AmpliTube for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is a full-featured and expandable playing-and-recording studio for guitarists and bass players, vocalists and producers/engineers. It features a complete instrument signal chain, including stompbox effects, amplifier head, cabinet section and microphone, just like a traditional guitar or bass stage rig.

It also features a recording studio, and multi-track-DAW editing-and-sequencing tools. AmpliTube is also expandable with collections of gear from the world’s top manufacturers like Ampeg® and Fender®, and from artists like Jimi Hendrix™ and Slash. Now musicians can capture their ideas and performances on the go on their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, with a comprehensive suite of creative tools, all from the leader in mobile music-creation apps and accessories.

Plug in and Play with Lightning-Compatible Accessories
AmpliTube is the perfect companion app for IK Lightning-compatible accessories such as the new iRig PRO universal audio/MIDI interface, and the iRig HD audio interface. For the complete lineup of mobile accessories, please visit the IK Multimedia web site,www.ikmultimedia.com/ios.

Pricing and Availability
The latest AmpliTube update for iOS is free for existing AmpliTube iOS users. AmpliTube is available on the App StoreSM(www.AppStore.com) for iPhone and iPad for only $19.99/€17.99. A free version is also available.

IK Multimedia releases new AmpliTube Fender® App with Audiobus compatibility and iPhone 5 support


Use authentic Fender amp-and-effects sounds along with your favorite
compatible audio apps, and get full support for iPhone 5 graphics

Modena, Italy – July 18, 2013 – IK Multimedia – the leader in mobile music apps and accessories – today announced the release ofAmpliTube Fender™ 1.5, a multi-FX app available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.  The update adds Audiobus compatibility, and the iPhone/iPod touch version features an enhanced user interface that fully supports the larger displays included in the latest versions of those devices. AmpliTube Fender, IK Multimedia’s guitar/bass amp-and-FX app, is the only officially certified Fender amp-and-effects models for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. A version for Mac/PC is also available.

Audiobus Compatible
AmpliTube Fender, with its amp & FX models and built-in recorder, can be used in any of the 3 Audiobus “slots”: Input, Effects, and Output. The Audiobus App (from Audiobus Pty Ltd, requires a separate purchase) makes it possible for audio Apps to connect together in real-time, which greatly adds to the creative potential of music making on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

When used in the Audiobus Input slot, AmpliTube Fender’s amp, stompbox, cabinet and microphone models allow users to input guitar or bass sounds with authentic and ultra-realistic Fender tone. In the Effects slot, those same effects can be used to process the sound from the app (or apps) in the Input position.

AmpliTube Fender’s processing and recorder can also be used in the Output slot. With the multi-track option added (via in-app purchase), the iPhone/iPod touch version of the app features a 4-track recorder and the iPad version features an 8-track recorder. Both multi-track upgrades include master effects, as well.

iPhone 5 Graphics Supported
AmpliTube Fender 1.5 includes support for the larger screen in the iPhone 5 and new iPod touch, with an enhanced GUI designed to take advantage of that extra real estate.

IK also added it’s Global Menu to AmpliTube Fender. Standard on all new and updated IK apps, the Global Menu consolidates many utility functions such as Settings, User Account, Help and more, all under one convenient menu, making it faster and easier to find such items.

Recording Features Updated
IK’s AutoFreeze function, which was included in the recent AmpliTube 3.0 update, is now available in the multi-track recorder in AmpliTube Fender. Once effects have been applied on a track, it automatically “freezes” the track with the effects, freeing up the processing to be used on a different track, but retaining the effects sound on the original track. The tracks automatically unfreeze when selected, allowing to go back and tweak the effects at any point, thus making AmpliTube Fender much more powerful as a mixing platform.

IK also added a pre-roll option to the recorder. When activated, two measures of count-off are played before the recording starts, making it easier to come in at the right tempo.

AmpliTube Fender: Rocking with Legendary Tone
IK Multimedia developed AmpliTube Fender in cooperation with Fender, who provided guidance, testing, and advice to help make the app as accurate and true to the Fender brand as possible.

Both the iPhone and iPad apps offer Fender amplifier, cabinet and stompbox models, including such acclaimed amps as the ’59 Bassman®, the ’65 Fender Twin Reverb®, the ’65 Deluxe Reverb® and more. Effects include the Fender Blender™ distortion pedal, as well as the Fender Compressor, Phaser, Tape Echo, Overdrive and Noise Filter pedals. Many useful and varied presets are included, or you can setup your own rigs, mixing and matching the gear to create your own custom Fender sound.

IK offers a variety of input options for connecting an instrument to a device running AmpliTube Fender (or other mobile audio apps), including iRig HD, the new high-definition audio interface, which also works with Macs; iRig STOMP, the first stompbox style audio interface; and the original iRig, the most popular mobile guitar interface of all time.

Pricing and Availability
AmpliTube Fender is available from the App StoreSM in both iPhone/iPod touch and iPad versions for $14.99/€13.99, or atwww.AppStore.com. The new version is a free upgrade for existing users.

Free versions of AmpliTube Fender are also available for iPhone/iPod touch and iPad, containing the identical functionality of the paid apps, but with a limited model set. Users can add the other Fender models via in-app purchase.
