Amplitube 3 - screenshot (from NAMM)

[hibidy]

Oh, I'm really looking forward to stealth board

But then again I have no form of foot pedal at the moment. All I need are a few parameters (at once) like rotary speed, maybe a wah access......

I could probably use the stealth pedal but I'm afraid of the audio driver mucking something up. Actually, I could just use the sustain pedal on/off for the rotary probably.....just too lazy I guess

So to summarize: x64 for AT3, stealthboard (which I think was already confirmed x64) and I'm set (well, I guess maybe it would be nice to get the IK singles I have x64 but I'm not holding my breath )

Peter - Is IK's focus going away from the stompio and more towards the stealth board?
Just curious as to what is going on there.

I know you didn't address me, but I think I can answer at least part of it. Stealth board is a controller. It is not a soundcard. For example, I don't want a soundcard that is sitting on the floor, the one I have is for the moment, fine. Stealth board will give me somewhat of STOMP i/o's controlling without paying for the soundcard aspect

Thanks hibidy
I realize that, but it seemed to me that IK was gearing more towards the stealth board and that Stompio was not so prominent now. So I wondered a bit about the future of Stompio as I have a Stompio.

Me too, but I really don't see what else they can do with it. All the guitar/bass software works with it, the drivers are sound, etc.

Carlton, not insulted at all. Different strokes for different folks though. Even though this is guitar based, it is pretty much the same as making Virtual Instruments, mixing/mastering tools, and other types of products. There's a market for it for sure. The adapter and the software... I'm pretty sure we're raising the bar for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch amp sims with this and the adapter is great and dirt cheap.

Depending on the price of the iRig thing, I think this could be brilliant! Especially if you can update it to include that iPhone audio copy/past so that you can record some small riffs and then export them to other iPhone music software.. that would be amazing. Audio import would allow one to import a drumloop or arrangement from software like Beat Maker or 4track or something like that.

I've been thinking of buying some cheap "toy" amp-modeler/stomp-box for the country house and leave my cheap crappy electric guitar there as we have a few much better guitars in the studio for real work. This iPhone thing would be perfect for me as it's my main "carry with me" device at the moment.

Any idea what the latency will be on this system? That's the only thing worrying me a bit. I start feeling the "ill effects" of latency when it's around 6ms or more.. making precision playing a bit harder to do (I know 6ms is only like standing a few meters from a real amp but for some weird reason I can not tolerate higher latency when playing with headphones.. weird huh?).

Oh.. and will there be any discounts/cross-grades for Amplitude 3 owners, pretty please!?

EDIT: just noticed the price. Is the 24 euros the price for the adapter cable and then you need 16 more for the full software?

Cheers!

I think a partially misunderstood. I don't think stomp i/o is going anywhere. I just think the demand was there for a controller without a soundcard interface.

But picture this - take your electric, your little battery amp - say a pig-nose - and your phone loaded with Amplitube up to the street corner in a music precinct near you on a Friday night. Even if your busking is crap the punters are going to have to be impressed by how light you are travellin....

[eDrummer]

I'm not a fan of amplitube - but it does shorten up the time the studio . Great when recording with annoying artsts

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

Whoah, I think I missed something there. We definitely do not have sock puppets (I know you aren't aiming at me, Hink, but just sayin' to be sure people don't think that).

On the StompIO, there was indeed some demand for a controller without audio interface but there is great interest in standalone units that have an interface (and even forgo any computer at all) and we're not ignoring demand. I do think we may need to clone developers - or I can mention that we ARE hiring, by the way - and there's just so much that people want to see us do.

This iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch interface and app was also based out of demand for it, and it seems to have been a good call as far as following that demand. Some of the gadgeteers out there are really digging it and the low latency and great sound should be a hit. If I had this available when I was younger I know I would have enjoyed it a lot. Now, I will enjoy it as an option amongst many (even if sticking solely to IK-based options) and that's how I see it.

[cactuseskimo]

I definitely think the iphone app is VERY COOL and couldn't believe that Line6 hadn't already made one. Good on you! Question - are you able to record from the amplitube app into a recording app like Sonoma Four Track?

Also, yes IMO Amplitube needs to make a standalone unit ala Line6 and Boss. A breath of fresh air is desperately needed in that area. As Dwight Shroot would say - "Do it. Come on. Do it. Do it. Now. Do it."

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

Unfortunately to record directly from one app to another would not be possible with a stock version of any iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch at this time. I'll try to see if there's going to be exports and such and some way to deal with that though.

[Feda]

I gotta be honest... although there is no bigger IK fan than myself

I see you haven't met zerocrossing yet, he'll be along soon enough. Probably running al his drums through AT3 as we speak...either that he'll come along and tell us how to dip our morning donuts in AT3

Sorry ZC, just having fun

Heh, no offence taken. Yup, I'm a fan but I'm also critical too. Like on the new Stealthboard. So close... yet so far. There was a chance to make something cool and new but it doesn't seem all that interesting to me. Think about how cool it would have been if you could have gotten two parameters per pedal in a kind of "aftertouch" kind of way. Rock the pedal gets you way. Rock it while you put your weight on it and get chorus speed change at the same time. But instead my beloved IK Multimedia took the safe route and just made another set of buttons and pedals. Zoom's floor modelers are cooler controllers than the Stealthboard.

(dig the right pedal)

So yeah, I have much love for IK and Amplitube seems far and above anything else on the market right now hardware or soft. I was at a guy's house a few weeks ago and he briefly played me his AxeFX and I thought to myself "what's the fuss about?" But my love is also tough love. Here that Peter? Make me a COOL controller. Affrettatevi!

Are you using the Zoom Pedal? Do you use it to control AT or similar software?
I've been looking at that one for a while now but it's been on the market for a few years now and I would hate to buy it now and see a new one come out a month later.

Just thought to bump a bit...
Any AT3 related news coming, Peter?

Definitely some fixes coming up and we did get a shipment a short while back that was AMAZING! Can't say too much now, but you know how we have a penchant for getting the good gear. And this is AWESOME stuff.
