If the same company sells a hardware version of the same thing for about a million times the price they have very little reason to have it remotely keep up. Mpc apps are an mpc advert. Fun but there’s a million ways they could be better. One of my first apps the OG version years ago though
IMPC pro 2....unstable and needs touch response pads for starters.....and layering of samples..deeper synthesis...
Don’t use it much after many tries..
But simple music can be sequenced quickly....
BM3 does it all....
IOSSOS
Input selection and monitoring is still missing in the sampler it's present in the audio recorder so they know how to do it but apparently it's two different code-chunks that are being used and are not in sync or something.
I still bump into 'polyphony issues' with longer samples that get cut-off and/or play every two cycles of a pattern, kinda annoying and wtf to be honest... (It makes me check to see if there's events on the time line and yepp, they are there but do not play like WTF).
I can still crash the sample-editor on a somewhat regular basis using the preview buttons, doesn't happen every time but when you least expect it the app bails out.
iPhone version seems to be a lot more stable than the iPad version, don't know why...
Now that iMPC Pro 2 has had 2 updates 2 weeks ago, can anyone report if it works better now?
It's a DAW with AUv3 support, Ableton Link and audio tracks, plus it runs on the iPhone.
Nope. Just deleted off my phone. Bugs/crashes/can’t sample from iTunes library. List is long.
Yeah, it's dire. If you consider the likes of Elektron as being somewhat near the forefront of what is possible with samplers and DAW hardware, all iterations of MPC are unfeasibly far behind, alas. It's a shame as I dearly loved my 2000XL and my friends do amazing things with the 1000 running JJOS.
The app could be something truly special but it never will be.
The lack of 'Keygroup Program' support (ie. layer a bunch of samples and play them chromatically) makes synth sampling quite a pita. Sure the pads can be transposed up using the 16-levels thing (A-D banks) but not down so pitching down samples becomes a major hassle, sure tune knob is there but 16-levels mode can not be used to play AUv3 bass-synths etc. (Ie. play the AUv3 using the pads).
So many things still missing after all these years makes me a bit sad.
Akai dropped the free MPC Beats for the desktop and I had hopes they would do the same for iOS/iPadOS but no luck there.
With the current track record we'll likely see iMPC Pro 3 before all the issues with iMPC Pro 2 are sorted out.
That was the case already with the initial iMPC and iMPC Pro so I feel we'll see history repeating itself sooner rather than later.
At least it's got basic Files.app support (no features inside the app, have to use the actual Files.app for file management) so one is not fully locked into using AudioCopy to get samples in/out of the app.
But still no easy to way to transfer audio from an audio track to the sampler to chop it up, like seriously!
(this app is a real energy waster for real, just stirs up things that I prefer not to write down).
Cheers!
Let's see what all the 'fun' stuff is within a few days...
Random fact: I supplied drum kits for Retronyms' Drum Deranger in Tabletop in 2011.

Fun Fact: I still really like Tabletop, despite everything
I've never actually used it
I didn't even have an iPhone until 2016 and it wouldn't run on that.
AU would be amazing! Running iMPC as an AU I would imagine lightens resources and keeps everything in AUM. It’s a major pain point going in and out of AUM for IAA apps when I am doing a jam session. I do enjoy sampling synths in iMPC more than anything else. It has crashed on me from time to time, same with Beatmaker. I stick NanoStudio for stability. Here is what Retronyms could do to bring me back to iMPC:
1. Add AU
2. Constantly work towards making it the most stable app in the App Store (vision statement)
3. In conjunction with #2, update the app often... addressing bugs and user feedback.
Sampling from the record player is fun in iMPC along with recording samples from synths.
Interesting point sir.
Lmao... developers not musicians?
