AmpliTube® for iPad from IK Multimedia Now Available from the iTunes Store



Together with iRig adapter turns the iPad into the ultimate portable multi-touch guitar and bass multi-FX – the future of mobile guitar



July 2010 – IK Multimedia is pleased to announce that AmpliTube® for iPad is now available for download from the iTunes App Store.



Together with the currently available iRig interface adapter, this combination represents the first portable multi-touch tone-modeling solution for guitar and bass players; giving them the chance to play, practice and have fun everywhere with the multi-FX system of the future.



AmpliTube for iPad offers the same selection of 23 amps & effects models from the AmpliTube for iPhone version, clearly visible and accessible by an enhanced interface with all the controls immediately available in one screen. AmpliTube for iPad offers the ability to build a virtual stage rig bigger than what can be found in traditional portable effect processors; the four simultaneous stompbox effects (giving one more than the iPhone version) allows for more sonic creativity and can be combined with an amp-head plus cabinet, and a microphone.



There are up to 5 amp models to choose from (clean, crunch, lead, metal, bass) that offer full tonal and drive controls, 11 stompbox effects (delay, flanger, phaser, overdrive, distortion, filter, wah, fuzz, octaver, chorus and noise filter), 5 cabinets (1x12", 2x12", 4x12" A & B, 1x15") and 2 microphones (dynamic and condenser). All rigs can be easily organized/recalled on the fly with the available 36 presets.



Additional functions like the tuner, metronome and backing track player in the AmpliTube for iPad version app improves guitar practice, performance and playing skills. During play, the tuner remains engaged for tuning at any time without the musician taking their hands from the guitar. The backing-track player with loop-points is also included to allow the import of audio files as backing tracks to play with, plus, the included metronome has the ability to keep the player in time during practice and play-along to increase overall performance skill.
