What we do
Four areas, one goal: making you sound better.
Guitar
IK pioneered guitar amp & FX modeling with the original AmpliTube in 2002, and we’ve never looked back. From creating the industry’s first “tone-certified” amp modeling collections to bringing AmpliTube to iPhone and iPad with our iRig guitar interfaces to optimizing your guitar tone for computer recording with AXE I/O, we’ve made giant leaps forward over the years. Our latest innovation, AI Machine Modeling™, is a software breakthrough that enables anyone to create Tone Models of any amp, cabinet or combo and load them to TONEX Pedal or TONEX ONE for live performance. No one else in the industry has more tools to take your guitar tone to the next level, whether at home, on the road or in the studio.

Recording
In 1999, IK launched T-RackS, the first analog-modeled desktop mastering solution. Now at over 60 plug-ins including recent ones like Lurssen Mastering EQ and Master Match X, T-RackS helps producers stay at the virtual command of the world’s best studio gear and spaces. In 2007, we tackled room acoustics, developing a new technology to help producers mix audio that translates to any system using ARC System, the first plug-in of its kind. Meanwhile, ReSing has introduced voice modeling to desktop workflows, while award iLoud studio monitors have become the monitoring solution of choice for mixers and engineers who need the best mix possible, whether they’re mixing on the road, for immersive audio or on a single pair of iLoud Precisions.

Instruments
Since the release of SampleTank in 2001, the first virtual instrument workstation plug-in, we’ve developed new technologies that blur the line between virtual instruments and their real-life counterparts: from the soul and vibe of Hammond B-3X and UNO Synth PRO X to MODO BASS, the industry’s first physically modeled bass. With Pianoverse, you can experience the world’s finest concert-grade pianos with unprecedented realism thanks to IK’s proprietary robot-assisted sampling. Along with iRig controller keyboards, you’ll find a massive range of ultra-realistic instruments at IK to keep you inspired and composing new music today and tomorrow.
