Ross Bencina has announced the release of AudioMulch 2.0, an interactive music studio for real-time sound synthesis, music composition and performance-oriented audio processing.
AudioMulch 2.0 delivers a major user interface update, with work-flow improvements including drag-and-drop patching that add to AudioMulch’s appeal as a live performance environment. Other version 2.0 additions include patchable MIDI routing, a new pattern editor, significant performance increases for audio processing, and new automation features, including the ability to automate and MIDI control AudioMulch’s unique “Metasurface” controller.
“With the major interface work finished and the Mac version in place I can now focus on new features,” says AudioMulch developer and owner Ross Bencina. “I have a long list of features and improvements planned that I’ll be rolling out in regular updates following the version 2.0 release.”
