Lowest price ever. Time to jumping the fence?

whoooa that is ridiculous!
I call it 'desperation'
lol
man there's still iOS drum machines that don't even export loops or sample or even import samples that cost more than that and people rave about them
Ok - the inevitable question... is there any reason to get this now that I have BM3??
Same question , maybe for the sound packs ....
Can you map pitch , filter, volume per pad to midi CC ?
Improve your bug collection
question from another thread about threshold based slicing: is there any other app than Beat Twirl (iirc) that can do it ?
The answer 'yes, iMPC Pro can do' didn't show up.
It's probably one of the most efficient cutters around - it does have bugs indeed, or let's call it flaws, but they are forgiven.
You can really do an aweful lot of shit to a sample, hardly predictable 'nonsense' and strange manipulations.
A quick backup of your current sound is just one sweep to an empty pad away, or copy/rename it.
I just discovered that the current sample can be moved anywhere (long tap on the folder icon in edit mode opens the file hierarchy).
Stupid me didn't mind the f* manual, and I guess I'm not alone...
Got.
Oh, is this worth it now I have BM3?......Now I'm confused!
Hmm, no Link yet even? edit: Oh yes Link is there
I couldn't get on with it even before BM3, and I've had it since launch day. Good sounds though, so maybe worth it to extract those for BM3 use if you don't have many drum hits.
Haha my thoughts exactly. It seems that the devs act more based on desperation than passion for their product.
And i criticize them openly because i want to see change to this model or see them fail, and be sure that other devs see how this sort of model is a failure, so that they know to act differently.
I do see that retronyms have upped their game a bit, but too little too late and smells like desperation. Time will tell if there is a real change to their attitude, or if theyll continue doing stuff this way.
No. Unless you want the sounds. But you can find equally good sounds from internet for free and im sure you hav other apps already with tons of drums and other sounds. And purely for sounds(and sequencing those sounds as well), i would go with imaschine 2 over this.
All and all, if this app is fixed now, and someone is looking for an app like this, doesent want to put money to bm3 and is willing to live with its limitations. Then this discount price is really good price for this, and the normal price not bad either!
Definitely NO.
Honestly.
I like their UI, but the effects are garbage. No offence.
The slice to pads is nice, but tuning those is a mess.
go with BM3 and you won't regret it!
Now, this is excellent and valid criticism. I do think some of the sounds are pretty good, and at the sale price, if you're remotely interested in hip-hop/EDM beats, it's a really good drum box.
But it's clear I'm going to have to learn the somewhat baffling ways of BM3.
Well I went for it anyway because:
@MonzoPro @ToMess
Thanks. Still tempted but have a week til the sale ends to decide. The curious in me wants to buy in case there's something here which is a bit different in the way of workflow than bm3. Plus they may update more in future. I think this has a random slice to sequence function . Does BM3 have anything like that yet?
I have it and i dont like the sound to many glitches and im on ipad air 2 imaschine in better by far and the packs are the best
So if you have BM3 i think dont buy it
The included kits are really good. It's one reason to get it. Richard Devine created some of the kits I think.
You can also easily import iMPC compatible kits from their AudioCopy store if that's your thing.
Don't think so...
Aside from good samples, I personally wouldn't bother with iMPC Pro - it's been on and off my iPad like a brides nightie - there's an update - I reinstall it, it doesn't work - I get frustrated and I delete it again. It's been off for months now (it takes up a lot of disk space).
BM3 does what I'd expected iMPC Pro to do, and a lot more besides, so I can't see it being reinstalled now.
check the videos on youtube, workflow is completely different, but only if you like sampling/chopping samples. if you want to sequence other instruments forget it it's not for that, if you want to sample other instruments via iaa it's great for that. think of it as a drum machine that slices samples in many ways, transient detection, time stretching, with a kick -A stepsequencer to boot, and the best resampling in the biz.... add diff time signatures and diff tempos in one song., at this price it's a no-brainer
@gusgranite @MonzoPro @Carnbot
It also works as an IAA source, (IAA control panel included) and sequences via core midi (including as hosted by BM3)
the fact that it's the most playable beatmachine on iOS is often overlooked as well, you can't play like this on any other .... workflow
Cool! But It would be a pain to trying recording the performance since the pattern one records to can not automatically grow while recording?!(Or can it?).
So smooth and delicious.
no can do, would be cool though....
you could just make a very long pattern to record to if you wanted, or since it has pattern merge, you could record shorter patterns and then combine them..... or if you don't need to edit the pattern later you could just record to aum etc..
That's a nice demo but what's in this workflow that you can't you do in BM3?
Does it still automatically start playing the song when you hit record in the host? That did it for me, I'd just want to jam a few pad hits and it'd launch into a song.
it does still do this, which means I'll work one of two ways - build a song in iMPC and record it (maybe with some live play on top on iMPC pads), or have a completely empty song in iMPC and use a sequencer like BM3 to build tracks (and record song or fragments into)
there's a couple of other favs that have this behavior where I use them either as a sound module, or complete a track inside them and ship it over or record live. Elastic Drums I think still does this, Seekbeats, Strokemachine too...
I have been beta testing iMPC Pro update on my Ipad Air 2 .....it is on point. When I use it in conjunction with my Element..... Awesome!!!!! Workflow is fast.
all of the movements that are not pad related.
but don't compare it to bm3 cause like I said earlier they are quite different... check the company videos by retronyms and by intua , they show the differences in the two apps workflows the best.
imo best way to describe them is that of two different ethos, bm3 is a great daw, and you got the AU thang going on and other stuff they are getting together, while the impc pro is going in the opposite direction... it's not about the AU , or really external stuff other than via iaa, where bm3 is an extrovert the impc pro is an introvert... it's only about having a bunch of samples on your iPad that you wanna slice up , fx, rearrange, resample, perform... it's a beatmachine not a daw or daw like...
