MusikMesse: Sonoma Wire Works Announces RiffWorks Standard Will Include AmpliTube LE
--Inclusion of Guitar Amp and Effects Processor Plug-in for RiffWorks--
Frankfurt, Germany - March 29, 2006 - Sonoma Wire Works&trade, developers of highly acclaimed RiffWorks&trade recording software and IK Multimedia, a leader in guitar amp and effects modeling technology, are working in collaboration to bundle IK's AmpliTube® LE with RiffWorks Standard.
"Sonoma Wire Works is excited to partner with IK Multimedia. AmpliTube LE is a great-sounding and easy to use guitar amp and effects plug-in that will enhance the experience of RiffWorks recording software," says Doug Wright, President of Sonoma Wire Works.
"Partnering with Sonoma Wire Works to include AmpliTube LE with RiffWorks Standard, is a great opportunity for IK to introduce our guitar amp and effects modeling plug-in to RiffWorks customers who are looking to get a start at using the amazing tone and customization that is achieved through our highly acclaimed AmpliTube software," says Enrico Iori, CEO of IK Multimedia.
RiffWorks makes recording fun. Real-time effects help create just the right tone, and the included InstantDrummer&trade 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&trade online collaboration technology and RiffCaster&trade one-click podcasting capabilities. With the addition of AmpliTube LE, the RiffWorks Standard community can access awesome amp models, effects, and a built-in tuner, giving them a wide variety of killer tonal options.
The award-winning AmpliTube guitar amp and effects processing plug-in has become a valuable resource for guitarists, producers, and engineers looking to add creative effects and processing to their music. From lush, warm vintage tones to cutting-edge sonic dynamos, AmpliTube LE puts the power of a half stack on the desktop.
