Developer Igor Vasiliev has released FieldScaper 2.0, a major update to the field recorder & soundscape application for iOS.

With this update, you can add rhythmic effects and distortions with using built-in step sequencer. The sequencer and LFOs can be synced with other apps and devices thru MIDI, Inter-App Audio or with Ableton Link.

A new parametric equalizer can be used to isolate or suppress oscillators output in a certain frequency range. You can also now pack a scene and all its presets and samples to single file, making it easier to backup or use on another device.

Here’s what’s new in Fieldscaper 2.0:

• Added new presets.
• Ableton Link start / stop sync.
• Step sequencer for each oscillator.
• Parametric equalizer for each oscillator.
• Signal amplification before filters and EQ.
• Automatic gain control of output for each oscillator.
• Synced Sequencer / LFOs with Ableton Link, IAA, MIDI.
• Pack scene and all its samples / presets to single file.
• Ableton Link SDK 3.0.2 updated.
• Audiobus SDK 3.0.5 updated.
• Built-in description updated.
• Several minor bugs were fixed.
