What is AudioMulch?
AudioMulch is an interactive musician's environment for PC and Mac. It is used for live electronic music performance, composition and sound design.
AudioMulch allows you to make music by patching together a range of sound producing and processing modules. Unlike some patcher-based programming environments, AudioMulch's modules perform high-level musical functions, so you don't have to create things from the ground up using individual oscillators and filters. AudioMulch is designed for live performance and improvisation - you can process live audio sources and control every knob and slider on the user interface using a MIDI controller.

AudioMulch 2.2 introduces the new features and refinements listed below. AudioMulch 2.2 is a free upgrade for licensed AudioMulch version 2 users.
Lower latency
We've been working to reduce latency with high-end sound cards. AudioMulch's sound processing engine has been overhauled, resulting in even lower latency response to MIDI events, and improved real-time audio processing stability with very low latency buffer settings. On Mac OS the 256 sample lower limit on audio buffer sizes has been removed - this limit was never present on Windows. We've also added an option to disable Desktop Window Manager MMCSS scheduling for Windows Vista and Windows 7. This reduces graphics-related audio glitching on some systems.
MIDI output contraptions
MIDI output contraptions in the Patcher Pane
AudioMulch 2.2 lets you route MIDI data from plugins to external MIDI devices using MidiOut contraptions. You can use MidiOut contraptions to control hardware MIDI synthesizers or outboard effects processors. This adds to the existing functionality, which allows MIDI sequencing and VST instrument plugins to be connected using MIDI routing in the Patcher Pane. MidiOut contraptions are intended to be used with VST and Audio Unit plugins that send MIDI output, such as control generators, data transformers and sequencing plugins. When combined with MidiIn contraptions, this also lets you use AudioMulch to process and route MIDI. AudioMulch doesn’t currently include any built-in MIDI processing contraptions. There are lists of recommended MIDI plugins for Mac and for Windows.
Improved MIDI and network clock (beat) synchronization
AudioMulch 2.2's new timing engine improves timing stability when chasing MIDI and network synchronization. MIDI synchronization is now compatible with a broader range of sound cards and MIDI interfaces. We've also improved timing stability for MIDI sync output on Macintosh. A new pattern mode option provides compatibility for sending MIDI clock to simple pattern-based step sequencers such as Korg Electribes and the Nord Micro Modular. We've made sync offset settings more consistent (positive values always make the slave later), and added sync offset settings for network synchronization.
