HELL YEAH!!
TOP 5 app for me!
I have found I can trigger iMPC original app with iMPC pro even wirelessly
TRY IT
Unclear why, exactly, you'd want to trigger the hamstrung version? Apart from that, did you notice anything different about the update?
Probably the kits. I'm glad they're fixing things but iMPC Pro has been replaced by the super fun, easy to use BM3 on my iPad.
And still no Audiobus support.... Retronyms is a big joke in my book....lol..... even with its sophomore bugs...BM3 blows IMpc " Pro" out of the water. IMpc " Pro".... its still hard for me to call it pro, at this point, is still a sampling drum machine, no more..... it's not an MPC.... midi production center ( what MPC originally stood for ) or Music Production Center ( What it stands for now ).... at this point, you should be able to sequence using 3rd party synths via IAA or auv3, not just sample them, and it's just stupid that it cant be used with Audiobus by now, they shouldnt even be mentioned on the Audiobus forum since theyre to "what ever " to give us Audiobus support. ( End of rant )
Maybe this is sacrilege, but is lacking audiobus a deal breaker anymore? The only reason I'm getting back into it is because I was bored of waiting for BM3 and revisited iMPC pro in the interim. And the sample slicing is pretty good. To be sure, it has problems — the lack of audioshare is a crime.
At the moment, the sampler in BM3 is an exercise in complete frustration for me. I'm sure that I'll get the hang of it. But all I really want is a sampler -- I don't need a clip launcher or a midi sequencer.
I don't care about audiobus. I do care about workflow. I love the sampler, sequencer, sample import ability and even clip launcher in BM3. It is what an MPC should be, even more so than iMPC is.
I do get that if you just want a sampler iMPC will do though. I just don't like what happens once I've gotten a sample in.
All baggage to one side, if it's stable it's a good app and one I'm happy to have.
Do you use it? I've never got on with it, and BM3 (for me) does what I always thought this would do.
For me, a recording/sampling app must support at least two of the holy trinity of connectivity: Audiobus, IAA/AU hosting, and Audioshare. These are not desirable features for me, they're essential.
iMPC Pro has a long way to go before it makes it back onto my iPad unfortunately.
thank whatever it is you thank in times like these for the audiobus devs and for JL kymatica but they were problem solvers for problems that should have never been on the iOS platform in the first place.
and like strizbiz said, it's not an mpc but as an owner of several mpcs I don't worry about that , I just look at it for what it is which is the dopest sampling beatmachine you can get on the iOS platform for $12 bucks, and if all you wanna do is chop samples and make beats out of them there isn't anything better, of course if you want to go daw mode and are in the mood for all of those wonderful bm3 features then the impc is not the one for you, they have two different workflows, completely different set of features/direction etc.... the impc is not trying to sequence anything it's all about the inside not the outside, and not the linear, and it's primary is not the 3rd party, and general copy past works just fine between the impc pro and audioshare.. I think of the impc pro as being closer to Samplr than to BM3.... the sequencers on both are extremely different and both have features that are unique to themselves. One is a sampling beatmachine and one is a daw with a different kind of sequencer and a sampling beatmachine inside it, the twain shall never meet
But it should still support the basic iOS connectivity, which is pretty much considered as standard by music makers. Like most other serious music apps do.
couldn't agree more, but you're talking to someone who still trying to get simple midi and audio in/out import and export on a ton of apps, the platform just wasn't made for common sense
for an platform that was supposed to be the saving grace for allot of people trying to escape the desktop shenanigans it does a great job of emulating those same hoops we got off the pc and onto the iPad to get away from
now all of the energy is behind trying to get the iPad to feel just like the desktop, boooo
I still want to use the iPad for music, despite the issues. I was using Logic on the laptop last night, got burnt knees, impossible Logic Remote latency and a load of frustration. Give me AUM, Auria and BM3 any day.
I love the iPad too, just not the hoops..... tc-11, ikaossilator, ignore apps, samplr etc... even without the panning (grrrrr) still bliss...... but I'm not fond of the desktop emulation stuff
looks like this impc update fixed the dreaded flux fx bug, oh how many years has that gotten on my nerves.... now that that and the iaa animoog bug is fixed I'm pretty much good with this app.... only thing I need now is to be able to make 1bar sequences instead of this 2bar minimum limit
same Frustration with AUM last night - could not compensate latency of an external fx loop.
Tried to measure the offset with Auria - oops, cannot select such a small segment and waveform display at sample level lost it's centerline.
Nice to see an update to iMPC Pro
It still takes multiple taps on the small wave-icons to preview the sounds?!
Why not make the entire 'line' (wave icon + sample name) react to taps to preview the sound?
Still can't hear anything in the headphones when trying to create samples using the iRig Mic HD...
(Ie. Input-Monitoring is still missing in action).
And is on sale.
I think every apps goal should be to be as fluid as ikaossilator, not possible I know
Sorry to ask the same question again ,but it's very important for me
Can you assign to a midi controller the pitch , volume , filter per pad ?
I don't have a midi controller, but the note variation slider can 'midi learn'
Tap-Hold the slider brings a selection panel for those items, so it's only one at a time, for whichever is the current pad.
But the performance surface (left side of main screen) does a fairly good job on those modulations including some clever groove based variations - doesn't leave much advantage for a dedicated hardware device imho.
Yep, glad all the people whining and trashing of the app were FINALLY heard and they made something about it.
But too little too late. I have no need for this anymore because there are now better alternatives. I do wish that this were fixed when i could had been using it.. Now it was just a waste of money.
Ps. And im still a bit suspicious if they even managed to fix it this time, and dont really care to test it
Pro is powerful, no doubt, but I think it's ugly to look at. I used it a lot, and I just couldn't continue to deal with that Blue red beige brown colour scheme. Looking at the fonts gives me a headache. Don't want this anymore .
If Akai/Retronyms would at least implement IAA out for IMPC (1) all could be forgiven in my books. To ask people to use tabletop which is 3 gb of locked content just to midi sequence is insulting. To force people to copy out patterns to sequence in a different Daw is... dumb?
I see the iMPC as a live thing and you can sequence patterns in song mode.
For everything beyond (aka sophisticated arrangements) copying the sequence is (at least) a valid approach
My point is MPC needs IAA out to record the song mode sequence. The app doesn't render groups of patterns, only one pattern at a time. The app supports IAA input but not output, the reason being you have to use Tabletop to chain patterns and then render it. Back when I was entertaining the idea of using tabletop it was also crashing, presumably because it was designed for IOS 7 instead of 10. There's a simple fix here, give us IAA out and people will be grateful again, better yet make it an AU or sth...
Thanks
Wait , so you can't load iMpc Pro on AUM or BM3 and sample the output ?
iMPC has IAA out, so yes you can sample it in IAA hosts, till cows come home (full sequences, songchains)
iMPC loads as an IAA source in BM3 etc, (and the IAA control strip does appear in iMPC pro, so you can flip back and forth between apps)
It also can be sequenced by core midi, I've tested Genome to good result...
Also with some fiddling around BM3 IAA sequences midi in iMPC too. Channel 10. The fiddling involves the other messages getting sent somehow to iMPC (play, record, 16 levels - iMPC needs to be in main view, and should be opened first before the IAA hosts, more fiddling may be required)
For recording the song chains built in iMPC you have to be in the song screen with lower left set to arrange. It will play song through on record in BM3, or if lower left is set to sequences you can launch chunks of song at will...

Also that screen allows you to export song entire
@Littlewoodg are we talking about IMPC or IMPC Pro??? Im sorry for hijacking this thread. I only am interested in MPC 1...
iMPC Pro update/bug fix
iMPC Pro is now like an MPC 1000 without JJOS whereas BM3 is like an MPC Live/X.
