MultitrackStudio for iPad is an audio/MIDI multitrack recording app. It comes with many high quality audio effects including a guitar amp simulator.

New version 3.2
Old version 3.1
Release Notes • MIDI editors: you can now select a note by just tapping it (you no longer have to wait for the selector to pop up). Also applies to dots in automation/MIDI controller editors. • MIDI editors: notes being added are less likely to be covered by your finger. • MIDI editors: New 'Duration only' quantization type. The existing 'Full' en 'Keep Note Off' types have been renamed to 'Start and End' en 'Keep End'. • MIDI editors: Quantize resolution selector menu now has 'Type value' option which allows for entering tuplets. You can type '5 in 1/4' to quantize to quintuplets of 16th for example. • Score editor: vertical zooming now uses much smaller steps, this makes it more useful. • EQ: graph now has 6 colored dots, corresponding to the 6 EQ bands. Dots can be moved (the corresponding frequency and gain knobs will be adjusted accordingly). Dot movements can be recorded as automation (Pro Extension). • EQ can now show audio spectrum. The 'Spectrum' menu provides several settings. (Audio spectrum used to be displayed in the Master section only and you couldn't customize anything.) • An EQ effect in the Master section can now display a reference spectrum. A standard one is built-in, and you can extract the spectrum from audio files using the 'Import' option. • Master Limiter / Noise Gate: histogram 'curtain' movements can be recorded as automation (Pro Extension). • External MIDI Instrument windows: Patchmap selection is moved to options menu ('hamburger' button). The default patchmap can be selected there as well (was in Preferences pane). • Devices pane now has option to enable iOS measurement mode. • Added audio latency options of 128 and 64 frames. • SoundFont Player: better support for soundfonts with very large release times (like 'GeneralUser GS'). You need to import the soundfont again to benefit from the improvements. • AU compatibility improvements.
