AudioMulch, a program used for live electronic music performance, composition and sound design, has received a major update. AudioMulch 2.0 is “a new generation of AudioMulch software,” according to its makers, and is the first version available for both Windows and Macintosh computers. It builds on its predecessor and is now even easier to use, developer AudioMulch Software says.

According to the release notes for AudioMulch 2.0, the user interface has been re-coded from the ground up and a number of enhancements have been made along the way. As new versions are released, users will begin to see the full impact of these changes, AudioMulch Software adds. The main new features added in version 2.0 are listed below.

- A new Patcher with advanced drag-and-drop patching and MIDI routing.
- MIDI and automation control for Clock transport (tempo, stop, start) and Metasurface interpolation.
- Enhanced Drums contraption with 8 channels and a new pattern editor supporting arbitrary length high-resolution patterns.
- New “Startup Actions” settings allow you to enable audio, MIDI, transport, sync, and to load documents when AudioMulch starts.
- Expanded multichannel audio I/O capability to support up to 256 channels in each direction an improved compatibility with consumer multichannel audio interfaces using DirectSound and Windows Multimedia drivers.
- Increased audio processing efficiency.
- Various work-flow improvements.

The new Patcher includes features to make performing with AudioMulch more intuitive, as well as drag-and-drop contraption creation. Reconnectable patch cords, multichannel connection creation, patchable MIDI routing between VST contraptions and the new MidiIn1-8 contraptions and contraption input and output level meters in the Patcher are just more fresh additions to it.

Interested parties can grab AudioMulch as an evaluation version with a maximum 90-day usage period using the link below.
