I must not buy it....I must not buy it....I must not buy it....
I do not need a flux fader, I do not need a flux fader, I do not need a flux fader
Just don't over-hype the 'egg', even though my post may add to it.
price?
Too much without input-monitoring, $12.99...
still wish they called it book, the app is allot better than it's name sake.
Can it be used with IAA, Audio Bus?............. Or as a AU Unit?.........
@studs1966 It can sample from IAA but it doesn't show up as a IAA source from other apps. No on Audiobus and AU as well.
Thanks for that info.
...........
Meh.
Not biting
$5 bucks MAX until input monitoring and Audioshare implementation. I got some cockamamie story from Retronyms, when chasing them for iMPC Pro updates, that input monitoring was "complex", and that "some audio interfaces have a line out for monitoring". Some crap about the device microphone.
Gee, Audioshare (and a plethora of other apps) seem to handle this just fine.
That's just but one of the reasons I will stay away from this 'Hook' thing...
(Was hoping iMPC Pro 1.6 would have input-monitoring in place but no-go).
Imagine using a DAW without options to monitor the track-input prior to recording?!
(In apps like AudioShare you can monitor the input thru the effects before you start to record).
I think it's not a 'technical' issue but rather 'stubbornness' and 'not invented here' syndrome...

Ha ha ha... High price for an incomplete WannabeDJ toy... Simply ridiculous IMO....
I took them to task for this omission, both in the forums AND their YouTube page. Frankly, me and a few other guys were so relentless about their promises RE: MPC project export, I think they re-started work on it JUST to keep us from besmirching their online rep!!
I wouldn't get that crazy. Everyone has different working methods. I've loaded densely composed MPC (proper) sequences into the Launchpad app, internally recorded an on-the-fly (i.e. "live") arrangement (using the delicious on-board reverbs and filters), and ended up with a final track that is positively DONE. One man's toy is another man's chisel.
Agreed man... You're right... [troll start] But launchpad is made by real developpers [troll end].
Wtf I thought this was on iPhone as well? Never mind I see it.
The iPhone version is free.

I would be inclined to give this a go, if it had decent connectivity. The pricing doesn't help, either, considering what you don't get. It's a toy.
1) Download
2) Hold my interest for 5 minutes
3) Delete
4) Oh well...
Are there any other prominent apps that don't offer input monitoring? Does Samplr? Beatmaker? I assume that Cubasis and Auria Pro do, And for the benefit of the spectators in the courtroom, would you mind explaining, um, exactly what input monitoring is? (The ability to hear source audio in a track whether it is armed, recording or in standby, correct? That doesn't sound too hard to achieve....) Not trolling, just trying to be clear.
More than likely because you can't import your own sounds on the iPhone one.
THAT'S a toy.
@Icepulse You can import your own sounds on the iPhone version. I beta tested both the iPad and iPhone version and both seemed basically identical except the iPhone version only comes with 1 sound pack. You can get audio in via IAA, Line-in/Mic, Spotify or iTunes and you can import sounds via iTunes file Transfer(or what I like to use is iFunBox)
Did you even bother to click the second link?
Here's a picture:
I didn't, and that's on me.
That said, it's a completely inexplicable and unbelievable pricing model. Totally absurd.I guess I'll just rock the iPhone version 2X on my iPad.
I'm not buying this today, but what makes this inexplicable and unbelievable as regards pricing? I sense some piling on here (generally, not specifically you) and my terribly English sense of humour (and fairness) starts to wonder how it got to the point that our friends at Retronyms are somehow becoming the underdog as well as the pantomime villain
The delta between the pricing for functionality that is IDENTICAL, except for the sound packs, makes it inexplicable. Why not just make sound packs IAP for both models? Or create a universal version @ a single price, w/ identical content?
It's absurd for them, because, in my estimation, 99 out of 100 people will DL the iPhone version for free, and just run it on iPads @ 2X, and save their money for something else!
The only people who might drop the $13 are people who only care about remixing the stock sound packs. I don't suppose there are that many, for that price point.
@JohnnyGoodyear I think they are the underdogs at least not his forum because they do not support AudioBus and generally only support their own Ecosystem. This community is a community of people that just want every app to talk to every other app.
Maybe they are the villain because they are unwilling to wavier to our every demand. Plus they have designed their apps for specific things and here on this forum, very few of us actually use the apps as the developer intended. We generally push every app to its limits, doing things that it was never designed to do and then get mad at the developers when it crashes or when they don't jump on our every whim of feature requests.
ok off my little soap box now.
I have enjoyed many aspects of Hook and will continue to try and use it as an ableton live clip launcher alternative.
Yeah, I agree with the piling on. I know that Mobius Lab was hailed as a miracle, but virtually no one knew quite what the hell it was for and still the consensus was that it was worth far more than the $12.99 being charged. (I am actually surprised I haven't heard much about that app since its release, actually.) This does a very specific thing, has EXCELLENT tutorials and documentation. Shit, man, I'd pay an extra $10 for modstep if it had these kind of clear video tutorials.
Just a little strange, but I guess the old-timers here are rightfully wary of Retronyms?
But — we're all burying the lead here — the iPhone app is free! All I'd want it for is to grab old calypso samples from Spotify anyway.
