Sonoma Wire Works and IK Multimedia have teamed up to bundle IK's AmpliTube LE with SWW's RiffWorks Standard.

With RiffWorks, real-time effects help create just the right tone, and the included InstantDrummer offers authentic drummer back-up recordings and the ability to dial in the right amount of intensity and variation without tedious drum-machine programming. Several new recording features have been added in version 2 including new RiffLink online collaboration technology and RiffCaster one-click podcasting capabilities. With the addition of AmpliTube LE, the RiffWorks community can access amp models, effects, and a built-in tuner, giving them a wide variety of tonal options.

RiffWorks Standard version 2 will be Mac OS X compatible with any Core Audio device. It will be available as a universal binary for Intel Macs and has been optimized for Intel SSE and SSE2. RiffWorks Standard version 2 continues to work with Windows XP, and will now work with any ASIO interface.

RiffWorks Standard version 2 is currently in beta and will be available soon. Pricing is to be determined. Users of RiffWorks Standard version 2 bundled with AmpliTube LE qualify for discounted upgrades to the full version of AmpliTube 2.
