Die tschechische Software Schmiede Audiffex hat ihre ampLion Pro Software einem Update unterzogen. Mit der Version 1.1 gibt es jetzt volle 64 BIT Unterstützung in den Formaten VST3, AAX, AU und RTAS. Es handelt sich bei der Software um die Emulation von 9 Premps, 7 Power Amps, 12 Lautsprecherboxen, 8 Mikrofonen und 30 Effekten. Letztere können entweder in Serie (bis zu 8), oder paralell (4+4) geschaltet werden. Hier die Pressemitteilung in englisch:
Audio effects, host applications, audio players, recorders, and specialist software solutions developer Audiffex is proud to announce availability of ampLion Pro 1.1 — an updated 64-bit (AAX-, AU-, RTAS-, and VST3-compatible) version of its software guitar processor for Mac (OS X 10.6 or later) and Windows (Vista, 7, or 8) — as of July 1..
As a software guitar processor providing the perfect simulation of guitar amplifiers, effects, and microphone/cabinet combos for Mac and Windows with 64-bit Avid Audio eXtension (AAX), Audio Units (AU), Real-Time AudioSuite (RTAS), and Virtual Studio Technology (VST3) versions to enable full compatibility with 64-bit hosts (such as Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and more besides), the best just got better with ampLion Pro 1.1!
While ampLion Pro 1.1 of course can be used as a plug-in for host applications, the standalone application now features a METRONOME, TRACK PLAYER, and RECORDER — just like Audiffex’s acclaimed GK Amplification 2 software simulation of Gallien-Krueger amps and speakers before it. Indeed, the advanced TRACK PLAYER lets users play along with their own demos or favourite artists and learn songs with a handy SPEED control to slow things down if they can’t keep up or even speed things up if they so wish! For their wish is ampLion Pro 1.1’s command with fanciful features aplenty: Loop the playback and REPEAT — perfect for practising the practice makes perfect mantra in a quest to become the next Jimi Hendrix or Slash, while the built-in RECORDER can capture each and every new riff whenever inspiration strikes! Record guitar sounds dry or processed, or even mix them with the TRACK PLAYER… the choice is out there, so choose carefully!
New additions apart, ampLion Pro 1.1 remains true to its ‘old’ self, capable of creating true-to-life guitar sounds suited to the user’s musical taste(s) using only a computer and audio interface (plus a guitar, too, of course), free from the rigours of complex and cumbersome hardware guitar rigs. Freely combine mind- and ear-blowing simulations of no fewer than nine preamps — Fender Super Reverb, Fender Deluxe Reverb, Fender Bassman ’59, Marshall JCM800, Marshall JCM900, MesaBoogie Dual Rectifier, Engl Ritchie Blackmore Signature, Engl Tube Preamp 530 (Lead mode), and Engl Tube Preamp 530 (Clean mode) * — and seven power amps — MesaBoogie Dual Rect (solid state), MesaBoogie Dual Rect (tube), Fender Bassman Fender Super Reverb, Marshall 100W, Marshall 50W, and Fender Deluxe Reverb * in Amps & Speakers mode… but why stop there? The amplifier signal can be split and processed by two independent cab simulations — choose from Marshall MG30FX Combo, Fender Blues Junior Combo, Fender RocPro 700 Combo, Line6 Spider Valve Bogner, Engl E320 Thunder 50 Combo, Marshall JCM900 Combo, Marshall TSLC, MesaBoogie Rectifier 212, MesaBoogie RoadKing (left speaker C90), MesaBoogie RoadKing (right speaker V30), MesaBoogie Rectifier 412 Slant, and Marshall 1960A * — and mic’d by seven different microphone simulations — Shure SM57, Audix i5, Rode NT1-A, AKG C1000, AKG C451, Sennheiser MKH40, Audix D6, and AKG D112 * — with authentic-sounding simulations of distance, position, and axis.
