AudioMulch has announced that AudioMulch 2.0 interactive music studio is now in the final stages of development. The release will take place on May 1, 2009. Apologies to existing users for the delay, and thank you for your patience.
AudioMulch 2.0 is not just a new version, but “a foundation for a new cycle of feature development and improvements that will be rolled out in regular updates after the 2.0 release.”
AudioMulch 2.0 will run on Windows (XP, Vista) and natively on Macintosh OSX (Intel only).
Features:
AudioMulch 2.0 will be backward-compatible with AudioMulch 1.0. It will provide all AudioMulch 1.0 functionality. The Macintosh version of AudioMulch will be able to load AudioMulch 1.0 patches.
Improvements to the AudioMulch core will include:
- Significant performance increases for audio processing (up to twice the efficiency in some cases)
- Patchable MIDI routing
- MIDI and Automation control of Metasurface, tempo and transport
- Support for complex time signatures including automated time signature changes and additive meters
- Improved support for consumer multichannel audio
- Settings for enabling audio, MIDI and network functions at start-up
The AudioMulch 2.0 user interface has been re-coded from the ground up. This has lead to numerous work-flow improvements, including:
- A new Patcher with advanced drag-and-drop patching
- Dockable windows improving multi-monitor operation
- Faster access to MIDI control and parameter values
- Floating Parameter Control (formerly Parameter Modulation) window
- Nameable contraption presets
Licensing and Pricing
AudioMulch 2.0 licences will be portable across Windows and Macintosh. If you switch from Macintosh to Windows or vice versa you will be able to continue to use the same 2.0 license. Upgrades from AudioMulch 1.0 to AudioMulch 2.0 will also be portable across Windows and Macintosh.
As previously announced, a full version 2.0 licence will be priced at $189 (USD). All AudioMulch 2.0 licences will be valid on both Windows and Mac OSX.
The upgrade fee for licenced users of version 1.0 will be $89. New users may find better value by buying AudioMulch 1.0 now and upgrading upon release of version 2.0. A pre-purchase upgrade to version 2.0 is available to volume education customers contact [email protected] for more information.
