AIR Music Technology has released Version 1.2 of their recently introduced Ignite music creation software. Ignite v1.2 adds over a dozen features and enhancements, while offering compatibility with a growing list of controllers from Alesis, AKAI professional, and M-Audio.

Here are the details:

Ignite 1.2

Ignite is designed to provide an original and ‘musician-centric’ way to craft music. Ignite allows musical ideas to be quickly captured, combined, and arranged—with professional results.

With Ignite v1.2, improvements have been made to the intuitive graphic interface. The Arranger screen now makes it simple to duplicate ideas (called Clips), encouraging experimentation. The timeline graphics have been updated, and other workflow enhancements have been added to advance the user experience.

Ignite has offered seamless integration with M-Audio keyboard controllers, eliminating any time-consuming mapping and set-up chores. Ignite v1.2 now supports twelve popular Alesis and AKAI Professional keyboard controllers with this same plug-and-play integration, meaning that the vast majority of people using keyboard controllers now have full access to Ignite—for free.
