IK Multimedia has announced that AmpliTube version 3.7.1 is now available as a free download/update.

This update is in response to players who wanted better allocation of CPU Power and RAM usage. Now, AmpliTube version 3.7.1 uses 30% less CPU power and 35% less RAM, allowing you to use more instances of AmpliTube on individual channel strips in your favorite DAW. The 30% reduction of CPU usage also means that players who use AmpliTube in standalone mode can run AmpliTube more efficiently on older, less powerful machines. This makes gigging out with AmpliTube even easier.

Other enhancements to AmpliTube include the addition of the Preset Up and Preset Down menu items in the StealthPedal controller dialogue menu, and overall stability enhancements. A new preset "transition" feature also allows users to select the type of transition when switching from varied presets.
