    Can the MPC software 2 be purchased without owing an MPC hardware?

    Yes, but it uses iLok software now, and MPC 2.0 Software ain't cheap. There is a 7 day demo, if you want to try it out.

    Thanks, Bud, Didn't realize that there was 'MIDI out' in this iMPC Pro 2...

    This change everything... Thanks..

    We are currently working on another update and hope to release it by the end of this week. We’re testing it now with QA. Please email [email protected] if you want to be added to the beta!

    @kewtips These packs were created exclusively for iMPC Pro 2! Brand new sounds. We put them in AudioCopy so that iMPC Pro 2 would have a smaller download size.

    @trueyorky @fruitbat1919 thanks for the feedback. We would love to log some of these bugs. Please email [email protected]

    It’s not a open beta at present then as had this back from Louis

    Hi
    Thanks for your interest! iMPC Pro 2 is now out and available. For beta testing, we currently have testers over at Akai going over every release. But, check back in a month or so because we may need more external beta testers at that point.

    Cheers,
    Louis

    What's another $15 compared to that "super-grip" you've already spent?

    my super grips start off as hardly grips, and have to age like a fine wine before they can become grip juice :D

    I don’t understand the constant comparisons with BM3. IMVHO they are different beasts which serve different purposes. BM3 is a fully fledged DAW, is very complex and as deep as the Mariana Trench. iMPC Pro 2 is a sampling groove machine with audio tracks. When it comes to preference, it’s very much a case of horses for courses.

    Don’t know , maybe because you can do most stuff in BM3 ? iMpc pro has auto slice and good sound packs ,but can’t think any other advantage over BM3

    You’re down with iMPC Pro (the 1st), if I remember correctly? They dropped an update to that one right before 2 went live, you probably checked that out. Stability issues as with Tabletop have been smoothed considerably.

    My viewpoint on the various tools is shifting always, so I’m probably not much help. Except as an enabler..

    If it’s a BM3 v. iMPC Pro 2 thing, the argument for iMPC Pro is fluidity, ease of resampling,
    including the big, easy chop GUI and the “spinback” turntable gadget. (That stuff is the same as the first Pro).

    The song mode is the chief new stuff and it makes for quick work. Performance is an emphasis as with the first 2 iMPCs, and the new songmode honors that.

    BM3 is for me a whole different, bigger thing and amazing (when I first got it I deleted every other DAW or DAW like thing off the device, and loaded it with 20gb of samples and banks...)

    It’s still for me a champ of all DAW available on the device. But sometimes I don’t want to get that “serious” or involved, and if I do I might just go to Bitwig on SP3...

    More and more I want the iPad to be it’s own fast fun thing, using soft that’s purposebuilt for that device and it’s virtues, not a scaled down version of something I have on Surface

    One interesting result of getting into iMPC Pro 2 is I’ve gone back into Tabletop, and had a blast using the other 2 iMPCs in there, with all the modular goodness.

  • MrSmileZMrSmileZ

    The good qualities imho....
    1. I like the sample from record player thing, I don’t know that’s just a cool feature.
    2. Autochop
    3. The ducker

    Yup. TT is def. back in the game. Only wish that Ret. were of the same mind, but all the same, it's a good/fun playground and seems far less crashy these days....

    TT definitely more stable, and been finding out things about TT I never knew:

    And because x0x box has 4 track-outs in addition to the main, 4 Zignals can be gated per x0x the way that one per x0x is shown here

    @kobamato
    Listing the cool stuff (new to iMPC Pro) I forgot to say if you ever wanted melodic/Inst./Synth in iMPC Pro, and audio tracks, imported or played live and synced (like Zygnal in TT) and that can be songlength or loops, then these goodies are now there and really pretty great

    those features are very nice, how easy is it to turn an audio track into a sample, do you have to resample or is there a convert command like on the mpc live?

    There's no shortcut for assigning or converting a recorded audio-track to a pad.
    I would love to quickly 'convert' parts of AUv3 or Audio tracks to samples as an example.
    And most of all being able to play the 'samples' as chromatic instruments using a keyboard.

    I think we'll have to give iMPC Pro 2 some time to 'mature' a bit more...
    (I'm doing last 'lesson' tomorrow to unlock a free sound-pack).

    Procedure (you probably know) is tap the clip in tracks view, tap “AudioCopy” where it’s stored, then when you put your sounds onto pads, ACP is one of the source options...
    What can be cool is that that’s where your project saves and auto saves are put for reslicing

    That would 'triplicate' the storage needed...
    One copy on the audio-track, one copy in AudioCopy.app and yet another copy on the pad :)

  • telechargetelecharge

    Trying to put this all together. Any other details to add to these two assessments?

    kobamoto said:
    like someone else said earlier they are worth having both because neither of them are trying to be the other. the impc doesn't have half of the features that bm3 has but if you need features like tempo automation, time signature automation, transient detection , independent mixer/automation per sequence etc... then you'd want to have impc in your toolbox because bm3 cannot do those things. the impc really excels at sample based production styles that involve allot of variation, time shifting kind of stuff, if you're into P.locking and elektron type shenanigans the impc doesn't have p.locks but it has a sequencer workflow that will allow you to do allot of those types of things with little hassle because you can switch between tempos and time signatures and whole mixes abruptly , add to this that you can automate the flux fx differently for each pattern and resample judiciously then quickly re-chop sequences up due to transient detection and you've got a little iOS sampling beatmachine with a very well to do workflow. The realtime time stretch and the AU features are just cherries on top, the real feature is the sequencer and how pliable it is.

    With the additional mention of audio tracks (loops and songlength) (and AUx implementation)

  • kobamotokobamoto

    thanks guys, I feel like I'm going to begrudgingly be getting it, I just wish it was a $7 iap for the stuff I need for the first version of the impc pro that I already have. I'm not sure why it was necessary to drop a completely new app and go with $15 bucks even for those of us who've purchased the prior two apps. I guess the real value for me will be in how good the compatibility is with the mpc hardware/software transfer back and forth, and how really seamless it is. If there are no hiccups then this might turn out to be something of a great Utility app

    what's up with that triple the storage issue that Samu is talking about though, for a sampler storage space is a premium, why is this tripling necessary?.

    @kobamoto
    Here’s a email reply from Zach at Retronyms re resampling audio tracks, that doesn’t involve sending and retrieving from ACP:

    “It sounds like you're wanting to resample your audio tracks as drum samples? The best way to do that is with the "RESAMPLE" tab under "NEW SOUND".

    1. Goto the Mixer tab and solo the audio track you want to resample.
    2. Make sure you have a drum track selected in the Track menu at the top of the screen.
    3. Go to the Tweak tab.
    4. Focus on the pad you want to sample onto.
    5. Select "NEW SOUND".
    6. Select the "RESAMPLE" tab.
    7. Tap "REC ARM".
    8. Tap "PLAY" on the transport to play your soloed Audio Track and sample it.
    9. Tap "STOP" on the sampler to capture the sample and enter edit mode.
    10. Trim/Edit the sample until it is perfect! ;)
    11. Tap "Done".

    That should be it. Your sound will be sampled to your library and appear on the pad you focused in the Tweak View.”

    Wrote him today, he replied immediately...

    Regarding the tripling thing, with resampling there’s always doubling of course, but I think that the tags for given files are likely just that, and the sharing between iMPC Pro 2 and ACP is just that, sharing tags. And though the tags do proliferate through out iMPC Pro 2, I think the tags all lead back to one file, unless you’ve tweaked it, which will then save a new version.

    Hello All, and Merry Christmas.

    I scanned this thread, and thought I'd jump in on a few things that jumped out at me. If you have any specific issues/questions that you need help with, please contact us at [email protected] (it's hard to tease out each and every issue from this monothread).

    Stem Export
    @AndyPlankton @Fruitbat1919 @Littlewoodg @MusicMan4Christ @ExAsperis99
    We actually worked a bunch on this feature. Some last minute problems meant that it was cut for release, but it's one of our top features we want to add in updates. In the meantime, solo tracks and export as a workaround.

    Timeline fails to duplicate for AU tracks
    @Strizbiz @Fruitbat1919 @Littlewoodg
    It looks like you guys have confirmed that AU tracks only duplicate midi for the selected track. I've filed a ticket and we'll get this in an update.

    iMPC University not Unlocking
    @stormywaterz

    My impc university is still set to 10%and I bought the second it came out. How is anyone getting it to unlock.

    There are two things that happen: 1. A course "unlocks" (e.g. becomes available) each day. If you complete the assignment, that course will be marked as completed. The percent complete is the amount of courses you've completed assignments for. If you don't think this is working properly for you, contact us at [email protected]

    AudioCopy Download failed (SDK error)
    @JohnnyGoodyear
    There are some issues we're aware of involving Apple's transaction SDK. I'm sure we're able to resolve this for you. We might need a little more information, so please contact us at [email protected]
