    The Retronyms apps WERE a cool idea when they were first released
    I Bought iMPC 1&2 but I quickly became disillusioned by their apps lack of connectivity
    I understand from a business perspective, they have Tabletop and Audiocopy/paste.
    They create their newer apps to support sales of those apps. I get that......
    However in today's IOS music scene it's all about connectivity and AUV3 is king
    Retronyms should have listened to the community who literally begged them to open up
    the lines of connectivity.
    They never added Audiobus my guess is that it would have hurt sales of Audiocopy
    BM3 is what iMPC should have been, but Retronyms dropped the ball.
    Most of the apps at the forefront of the IOS movement today have multiple lanes of connectivity or AUV3 alone
    Except KORG which is a great app, but I find myself using Cubasis more because of AUV3
    AUV3 fuels inspiration because you can personalize your workflow like on desktop
    AUV3 is the future
    Retronyms should improve Audiocopy to at least try to match the standards set by Audioshare
    Update all of their apps with Audiobus, IAA, open in, AUV3, etc they might come back.
    Better yet just create something new and epic ask the community for ideas and actually listen.......

    I agree with a lot of that but if retronyms turned the impc pro into BM3 they would have lost 80% of their users as most of their users aren't looking for anything that feels like a BM3/desktop experience from what I've seen, they're really an apples to oranges workflow imo but yeah they've got a lot of room for improvement and a lot of potential should they choose to exploit it.

  • @oldschoolwillie yep, I was really hoping the iMPC Pro 2 would bring something completely different than BM3 to the table but there just isn’t enough to tell it apart IMO.

    To transfer iMPC Pro 1 projects to iMPC Pro 2, you can use the import/export feature located on the bottom bar when you first open the app and are about to choose a session. Thanks!

    I'm fully aware of this already!

    What I'm really after is being able to bring all the 'Programs'(ie. the 'sounds') from the previous iMPC versions over to the current iMPC Pro 2 after which I can delete iMPC and iMPC Pro 1 from my iPad to make more room for samples and still have access to all the sounds from 'old' versions...

    If this is too much to ask for please do consider adding the 'Programs Banks' from iMPC and iMPC Pro 1 to the AudioCopy content store so we can download and import them in to iMPC Pro 2!

    Unfortunately the 'Program Format' in which the banks are stored has changed between version...
    Sure it's possible to grab the samples from the *.ipa files but since the Program/Bank format has changed it's tedious labour to re-create all the Programs.

    Thanks in advance...

    I agree. If @Retronyms did something about file management and the other little bugs I might fall into the Mpc camp over the BM3 because BM3 is a little too complex for my limited attention span.

    I think if you do the archives in impc pro1 all shoild be ok with programs when transfered to impc pro2 - i done a few tests
    I think I understand what your saying if relating to transfering a whole batch of programs though you have to swipe to each Program (on start up) to be able to archive one by one?

    @MrSmileZ ..sure thing man, that's what I love about this forum it's like idea heaven :)
    the only reason I don't already have the looperverse app is that I haven't gotten a sense yet of how far retronyms are going to take it, their development roadmaps can be quit fickle haha

    @stormbeats .. I don't know why they took that out, but it's like Dans world over there... I do wonder sometimes how much free reign akai allows them to have, any time I ever contacted akai over the apps all they would do is direct me to retronyms...

    @kobamoto Yep its crazy The app is really good but things like no option to locate through the timeline is weird - they told me they will look into it also a bug where stems export bypasses all mixer settings eq / fader/pan etc This too they say they are aware of and sorting We shall see and hear

    The 'sessions'(floppy disk icons) can be quite easily exported already.

    What I'm referring to are all the 'sound programs'(ie. drum/sound kits/banks).

    Even if I manage to export a 'session' with a kit included & sounds I need to create new 'Programs' for the kit(s) so I can use them in other sessions, hardly a 'smooth' workflow...

    Ie. iMPC Pro 2 could have a 'feature' called 'Import all Programs from iMPC Pro' & 'Import all Programs from iMPC'.
    But for that to work both apps would need to be updated...
    ...so an easier way for @Retronyms to solve this would be to make all the factory content from iMPC Pro 1, and iMPC available thru the AudioCopy content store for easier download & import.

    Regarding Bit Crusher, iMPC Pro 2 has that 'per pad' too...
    (Just go to 'Tweak', select a pad and swipe where it says 'NO FX').

  • @Retronyms Just thought I'd let you know that it's not possible to 'undo' Time Correct in iMPC Pro 2!

    Meaning, when using 'Time Correct' to quantise the recorded events (ie. Fix Track) it's not possible to 'undo' that action. Sure, I could do 'Fix to Grid' on the Time Line and that can be undone but seriously...
    ...ever heard of something called Quality Assurance that an app should pass before release?

    Would be better if quantize changes were in real time too That fix track is buggy as at times

  • @stormbeats said:

    I also get some strange 'double triggering' when recording with Time Correct enabled...
    (I have not experienced these kinds of 'bugs' when I've had a chance to play around with the MPC Live).

    I may be a bit 'sarcastic' but I doubt iMPC Pro 2 will ever be fully fixed but instead we'll see iMPC Pro 3 pop up out of nowhere...(That was the case with iMPC Pro 2. iMPC Pro 1 was left 'unfixed' and I doubt it will ever get fully fixed).

    Don't know if you've actually send support e-mails to [email protected] ?
    I still have a few open cases there that are not fully fixed & closed.

    But to be honest, I'm really starting to loose faith in them ever being able to fully deliver...

    Yep had the double triggering happen at times too - also the overall sound level goes up and down sometimes though not frequent but still happens - i think Akai and Retronyms need to have a serious sit down because these bugs are giving the iconic Akai MPC s bad name - great app but these issues spoil it

    @Samu Theres so much good work @Retronyms have done but the faults let it down and for beatsmiths sake add a proper envelope section ASDR with knob dials Squiggly horizontal lines are not cutting it

  • @stormbeats said:
    - also the overall sound level goes up and down sometimes though not frequent but still happens

    For me that's mostly due to the default compressor settings on the mixer page.
    Toning down the compressor and track levels seem to make things work a bit better...

    @Samu no i had the compressor/gain off at Zero Just happens occasionally

  • Try adding a little more Turbo Duck.

    @Retronyms thanks for being here and while you hopefully still are can you touch on the topic of deleting unwanted user samples from within iMPC (non-pro). With thanks in advance.

    Hey there! Sure thing. That's not an option at the moment, but I will forward this to our developers! - Taylor

    Hi @Retronyms
    One interesting thing about the first iMPC mentioned here, (iMPC One, I guess) and the same one that’s used as TabletopReady inside Tabletop, is that in the embedded version it is possible to import .wav into the iMPC via system pasteboard (if AudioCopy is not installed)

    while in the standalone iMPC it’s not possible to import without having the AudioCopy app installed

    It would be nice for standalone users to be able to import without recourse to AudioCopy in the same way that the Tabletop version allows

    Cool feature idea... we'll look into this :) I will ask our developers if this is possible when I get in the office tomorrow. - Taylor

    Thanks, Taylor
    it’s a way to open the standalones (both the oldest iMPC and the new one, iMPC Pro 2) to the General Pasteboard without using the AudioCopy app, the way good old Tabletop is still able to do. It seems that a door was closed - that Tabletop still keeps open.

    Please do and thank you. I think iMPC is limited enough to not steal potential iMPC Pro customers and having a basic function like ability to delete samples isn't going to change that though it will be a very useful gesture / fix from Retronyms.

    If I may, we all understand AudioCopy is your flagship. Instead of asking developers to retool all their apps, please let them know we need more robust feature sets in AudioCopy. Essentially put the IAA sampling into it and allow us to make subdirectories. Connect It to Files for bulk transfers etc.
