While not exclusively for use with guitars, it appears most of the audio recording hardware coming out for the iPhone and iPad are aimed at guitarists. The latest to arrive is AmpKit LiNK from Peavey, which looks set to do the job nicely.

Peavey Electronics and leading iPhone applications developer Agile Partners have joined forces to launch AmpKit, an unparalleled guitar amp and effects iPhone application, and AmpKit LiNK, a high fidelity audio interface for the iPhone, iPod touch* and iPad. Together, AmpKit and AmpKit LiNK provide musicians of all skill levels with a powerful and convenient way to jam with high quality tones anytime and anywhere.

The AmpKit LiNK audio interface raises the audio fidelity bar for the iPhone platform. AmpKit LiNK is an iPhone, iPod touch* and iPad interface for electric guitar, bass, or any line level source, with an output that can be connected to headphones, powered speakers or a PA.

AmpKit LiNK’s revolutionary CrossTalk Eliminator solves the feedback problem inherent in existing unpowered iPhone interfaces. Unpowered guitar interfaces suffer from feedback when using headphones. AmpKit LiNK is a powered device with circuitry that virtually eliminates feedback.

The interface can be used with any recording, processing, or tuning application, including Agile Partners’ GuitarToolkit, one of the highest-rated applications in the iTunes App Store.

The AmpKit LiNK guitar interface is available for pre-order from the Peavey online store as well as from dealers, distributors and retail stores worldwide for $39.99.

Born from a love of Garageband, the developers of this app decided to improve its usability by creating a wireless control surface! Handy hey! Apparently additional DAW support is in the pipeline.

Entrackment is an easy to use controller surface that gives you fast and accurate access to the most common used functions in Garageband.

The majority of controller surfaces on the market today have one big drawback – they have a fixed layout and size for their faders and buttons. Entrackment takes advantage of the multi touch screen of iPad and adapts the interface for different tasks and setups.

Main features:

– Quick Track Access
Stop wasting time trying to find the knob for a track on your controller surface. Entrackment lists full track labels and gives you direct access to the corresponding controls with a touch!

– Dynamic accuracy
Pan from left to right with a small gesture around the pan. Make a wider movement in order to fine tune.

– Wireless and Mobile
Entrackment might not be as powerful as your big-a*s 32 channel controller for symphony orchestra arrangement, but hey.. you can bring it when you go over to the recording room to improvise some riffs!

– Dynamic Layout
Only used tracks are visible – enabling large controls that you don’t need to lean over to hit with the finger. Panning knobs are revealed when needed.

Note! Minimum requirements:
———————————-
Mac OS X 10.5 or later for Intel based Macintosh computers.
iLife ’09 (with Garageband ’09)
Wifi Network, used by both host computer and iPad.

In addition to this, the app also requires the Entrackment Client plugin to be installed on the host computer.

( Plugin is downloadable from http://www.talkative.se/products/entrackment )
