MEDIA ALERT
IK Multimedia
releases new AmpliTube Fender® App
with Audiobus
compatibility and iPhone 5 support
Use
authentic Fender amp-and-effects sounds along with your
favourite
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 of
AmpliTube 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.

Fender is available from the App StoreSM in both iPhone/iPod
touch and iPad versions for $14.99/€13.99, or at
