I just want to replace a hardware sampler . Geist2 would be my dream app if they could port it to iOS...
@kobamoto: excellent breakdown. That's exactly right, but I hadn't mentally separated the apps that way. (THats why I'm not in love with Beathawk!)
And @Korakios: I don't know what Geist2 is, but if it's a standalone sampler that could be played as an IAA (or an AU?), I'd be all over it. Maybe IMPC can be used this way? It has midi learn, right?
@ExAsperis99 Unfortunately Geist2 is not iOS app
the closest to Geist would be the impc pro, nothing on iOS has Geist intelligent sample slicing where it organizes your slices into kicks, snares, hats, etc... for your automagically after slicing but the Impc pro does have transient detection and non-transient detection...I only use it on strictly sample based material though cause using it for anything else feels like inducing a mild stroke on one's self.... they need to sort the iaa bugs and really get on the stability..... still at $12 bucks it's an incredible steal for sample based heads
to be fair the impc pro has a pretty good sample library too I just don't have a need for it
I returned it for a refund, because it was unusably crashy.
I don't "make beats" as the kids say but I love all drum machines. With stuff like Patterning and especially DrumPerfect Pro you can create very cool 'traditional' acoustic drum parts. Others like DM1 & 2, iSpark, Elastic Drums I'll use on more rock/indie stuff.
iMPC, iMaschine can he used in ways different than what the were made for (beats, grooves, etc) too. I agree though about Retronyms, they were gangbusters with iMPC when it came out but now they seem to have abandoned it.
Why oh why didn't Akai go to Rolf (TempoRubato) when they commissioned iMPC Pro? Look at the difference between his Arturia apps and Retronyms' attempts. iSpark is a great beat maker and iSEM is one of the great iOS synths. Whereas iMini and iProphet are plagued with issues with little in the way of updates to even fix the issues let alone push the apps forward. Surely all three Arturia synths would be AU by now if Rolf had been dev?! iMPC Pro would certainly have lived up to its potential in his hands.
the app not only has autosave but it saves so many times that it's auto annoying... you wouldn't want to pass off misinformation about the app.
@beathoven the answer to your question is because out of the 1000 post I've seen on the app on retros fb page and on akai's fb page 999 belong to only me and samu... I don't know why people do not complain to akai in greater force cause these problems could be solved. I think retronyms is like kanye west people just want to talk about them but not do anything about it.. drives me nuts
I corrected myself and said that even tho it has autosave, i kept losing way too much of what i was doing because i didnt save manually after every tap on the screen.
i know you did, but that people quoting you aren't quoting that part
Despite having auto save, I lost work because of frequent crashes. The app is not ready for prime time. I would love to use it if it was.
now if we could get that in a bold larger font and get everyone to post on the akai Facebook page it would be wonderful. This is a very good app when it works It frustrates me to no end that the pitchforks do not come out in mass!
The above seems to indicate the answer to the op is "buy iMPC Pro and wait"
Didn't know that there are bugs left, I understand they are only IAA related? I mainly want an app for sampling and quick transient slicing. Egoist is great for chopping,but it lacks sampling and advanced midi. BeatHawk is more sample playback oriented and I was hoping BM3 would launch on Christmas
Unfortunately, my point is retrospective. I was merely voicing my frustration. Akai are unable to start development of iMPC Pro again with a new developer. It's a missed opportunity.
Though I am sure someone at Akai has read the reviews on the App Store, your comments on their FB page as well as a multitude of comments on this forum. It would be foolhardy for a company as big as Akai to put their reputation at risk by putting their name on something without caring how that product is received.
How did they fail so badly with this, i know InMusic are complete idiots at the best of times and actually have 10 marketeers for every developer, but they have a complete blue print for this, take an MPC2000 and make an exact replica, make it extremely stable, update the UX to work entirely with a touch interface (Something they should have researched heavily considering the Touch and the two new standalone hardware MPCs about to be released)
This is not rocket science, which developer actually made this for them ?
I sure wish that was the case, they responded to me a total of one time on fb, and their answer was something to the affect of they don't know about any issues and go ask retronym about it. I'm sour to say the least.
I bet retronyms would need money to fix the bugs, and akai doesent have any for the app in their budget atm. Maybe one day when someone in charge of the budgets realizes how bad reputation this sort of buggy app is, theyll put some money on it. Or perhaps when/if they decide to make a new version of it.
Or maybe thats not how this business works like at all
I dunno it's dumbfounding, they could have one of the top 5 apps easily without any new features, just fix everything that's already there. They remind me of native instruments maschine, they've been fixing that thing for 7 years now and it's not fixed yet.
I won't say again what I think of Retronyms and what they did to iMPC Pro... but I'll just recommand you to stay on BM2 and maybe try to send your sliced samples in Gadget with the Bilbao IAP and you'll get a blast man
I've said this before, but...
Both iMPCs are consistently in the top 50 of music apps for iPad, and have been for years.
What's their incentive to improve upon that?
Or to put it more bluntly, most buyers of the iMPCs DON'T GIVE A SH*T about most of the things we want in our music making apps.
True this. Check out the iMPC community that is in place on these apps, a steady outpouring of uploads by folks that don't post much on this forum but number I'm the thousnads
oh well
Does the app have midi feedback aka Animoog (for using external controller)? Meaning whenever you change a parameter on iMpc the value is reflected on the hardware
This. I'm done with BM2, and having a blast with Bilbao in Gadget. I'm getting absurdly productive.
Yeah, I'm hoping Korg will announce something 'Gadget Related' at NAMM'17.
I'd love to see a keyboard oriented sampling/re-sampling Gadget and well more 'Gadgets'
BeatHawk 2 is due for an update too...
Haven't kept up with BH. Is it supposed to be the dream MPC we've been asking for?
Beathawk 2? Hmm, maybe 2019.
