Audio Evolution Mobile 4 by eXtream released

eXtream Software Development has released Audio Evolution Mobile 4, a major update to its Android DAW.

eXtream Audio Evolution Mobile drum pattern editor

Version 4 contains many enhancements in the MIDI/instrument area including a drum pattern editor and easier workflow for working with instruments.
To offer a wide range of quality instruments, eXtream Software Development partnered with Digital Sound Factory to license original sounds from several E-MU rack synthesizers (Orbit, Planet Phatt, Xtreme Lead), the Native Instruments Kontakt Keyboards collection and 5 professionally recorded drum kits. These are available as in-app purchases.

Changes in Audio Evolution Mobile 4

Drum pattern editor: create drum tracks with ease.
New instrument selection screen with pre-listen facility: tap on an instrument to hear it or play your USB MIDI keyboard while changing between sounds.
Instrument selection screen now also features an option to purchase new soundfont packs: we have officially licensed instruments from Digital Sound Factory, including original sounds from several E-MU rack synthesizers like the Orbit, Planet Phatt and Xtreme Lead and from the Native Instruments Kontakt Keyboards collection. We also have 5 professionally sampled drum kits for different music styles (jazz, funk, rock, etc.).
Soundfonts use a lot less memory: only the data from used presets are loaded into memory.
New status screen showing connection status of USB audio and MIDI devices graphically.
Instrument tracks now feature an audio bus. This means you can now apply insert effects, output audio from instrument tracks to a bus etc., just like a regular audio track.
Instruments can now be selected from a new button in the mixer channel strip. Pressing the MIDI keyboard part of the button is the same as arming the track, popping up the virtual keyboard.
Added preference option to disable scrolling of the display during playback.
Added preference option to select the recording file type (wav/flac/ogg).
Added option ‘Merge all clips’ to MIDI track menu.
Added option ‘Track options…’ to audio and MIDI clip menu so that there is no need to find an empty spot on a track to trigger the track menu.
‘Ask to fit clip’ after leaving the piano roll editor now quantizes the clip to a whole bar.
Piano roll editor now defaults to a more usable zoom level.
The path where soundfonts are loaded from can now be set in the preferences.
When importing a broadcast wav file, the app will ask if you want to use the embedded offset information or not.
Recordings are now split at nearly 2GB instead of 1GB.
Added quantize to MIDI clip menu.
You can now use the green time marker to scroll the display (so you don’t need to switch to Scroll mode in some situations).
You can now make changes (draw/remove/move) while playing a loop in the piano roll editor.
Creating a new MIDI clip by tap-and-slide on the time line now quantizes to whole bars for ease of use.
Added a ‘Visit forum’ option to the Help menu.
After changing sample rates, the start and end times of MIDI clips changed. Solved.
Quantizing triplets was incorrect. Solved.
Loop button was not always displayed in the piano roll editor, even when there was enough space. Solved.
Using the virtual keyboard during recording could cause more latency than during monitoring. Solved.
