The darned thing does look very interesting. Still waiting to hear on compatibility with AB.
Is it me or they pretty much ported the piano roll from tabletop. They added some cool bits though.
....yes, but can load and play it in sync with my Cubasis project? :-) I can't seem to get an answer anywhere about Audiobus or IAA...
What the pluck was that??
I think some people who bought the first iteration of the app have developed their own gesture, but it only takes one finger....
I don't think they're plucking with us on this one
I know tabletop has the pluck gesture as well.
this looks pretty cool....but how much will it be

According to Retronyms' comment on Youtube they are still claimimg that Audiobus will support IAA so they don't need to add it to their app. That's the same lame excuse they used prior to the release of AB2.
Lame, but does imply that they will at least support IAA.
@Zymos said:
True, I just hope they don't limit it to being a host as is currently the case with iMPC.
It implies yet again that either company has no real interest in being part of the ios culture or community. It's cool if they want to do their own thing ,they're not under any obligation to listen to what potential customers might want, but I'm not itching to support them anymore. There's too many other developers who interact really well for me to care about these two.
Sorry to disagree @mrufino1 but Audiobus is only one of the ways to make music on IOS. Retronyms have chosen to go with the alternative which is IAA and they will have their reasons for it. I personally use audiobus but I wouldn't discount the alternatives.

Could you post a link to the conversation? I've been trying to find information about this..... Thanks!
Retronyms is in a position to regain a lot of customers who they have alienated over the course of the past year because of their anti-Audiobus stance. iMPC Pro has not been released yet so they still could make it AB2 compatible. Why shouldn't it have both? Nearly every other 'Pro' level apps. support both standards. Why should Retronyms impose an artificial limitation on potential buyers? You say they have their reasons, well I think they should be upfront about them rather than making lame excuses and empty promises. Be a man, forget all of that beating around the bush. That type of shady behavior is in bad taste.

As much as I've disliked Retronyms, I have to agree with @Supadom here... The Audiobus team are going to go with IAA internally as well, and IAA is working great with giving me rock solid sync for my apps, so I see IAA as a win-win situation. :-) Imagine rock-solid sync to your host with Audiobus being able to work with IAA slots with all of that flexible routing goodness available... :-) If IAA hosting is supported with iMPC Pro (so that I can load it into Cubasis), I'll likely be letting bygones-be-bygones and buying this straight away. :-) It looks like the ultimate answer to drum modules to me. :-)
@Dham said:
Agreed. Retronyms have always been that way, and I don't really like them. BUT, this app does look like it will be what we've always wanted.... This could win me back--for this app at least. :-)

Jon Lindsey6 days ago Can we PLEASE get an answer as to wether it will have Audiobus? A simple yes or no will suffice , thanks in advance.Read moreShow lessReply · 1Hide replies

Reply · Jon Lindsey5 days ago Lol, oh well, cock blocking audiobus is just going to mean less sales. people need it to have audiobus. I'm sure people are going to get it but users like myself who bought Impc and deleted it aren't going to buy Impc pro, if I can't use it with another iOS DAW without having to copy and paste then I'll stick with Beatmaker2.Read moreShow less
Reply · 1Retronyms5 days ago +Jon Lindsey We haven't announced feature details about that stuff yet. iMPC Pro will support quite a few Inter App Audio features, but for now stay tuned about other details.Read moreShow less
Reply · OSDJ735 days ago My guess is it'll support IAA but not AB. On a positive note, I read on the AB forum that the AB guys are working on IAA for AB! If this is true it'll probably let Retronyms of the hook.Read moreShow less
Reply · Retronyms4 days ago +OSDJ73 Yes, our understanding is that AudioBus is going to support IAA.
@Audiojunkie said:
If they implement IAA in that manner and Audiobus supports it then I too would be happy with it:)
@Dham I just read through the comment posts on that link, and didn't see any commitment to any particular bussing technology. The closest I could find is:
"+Jon Lindsey We haven't announced feature details about that stuff yet. iMPC Pro will support quite a few Inter App Audio features, but for now stay tuned about other details."
This could, unfortunately, mean IAA support the way iMPC does it now, which is just hosting apps, rather than being able to be hosted.
Retronyms are masters at making people think they are promising a particular feature, when they have no intention of providing what it is that you particularly want. Case in point, capability of iMPC Pro to be hosted....
This has me worried. I hope Retronyms are smarter than that this time around.....
I just found this interesting post:

I wouldn't say that. The exclusive sound set of the original alone is worth twice the price. Also, we'll do something for all the iMPC heads -JP"
Could this hint to an IAP upgrade or a discount or something??? Interesting comment...... :-)
IAA won't give them an avenue for state saving, which I assume could be of value.
History and promises aside, that's a nice piano roll editor. I wonder about things like controllers and velocity.
I read in the comments that there will be no velocity sensitive pads. They said that their experience with them was that it is unreliable. There are currently three youtube videos. The information I'm relaying is coming from the comments areas of the three videos. Link listed above. :-)
I meant the editing of controller/velocity data within the piano roll but that's good to know.

I agree that there's more than one way to make music. The way the companies have appeared in the past to not really care what people thought and have made plenty of apps that are unreliable or fall one feature short of being useful.
The audiobus devs seem to have made a point of how easy it is to integrate audiobus, so I'm not sure why it would create such a problem. I'm not a programmer, so I could be wrong.
However, I'm absolutely ok if anyone disagrees. Retronyms and akai haven't harmed me in any way, I'm only out a few dollars, and impc is fun. Then again, I really don't make music that requires an mpc, so I probably wouldn't be buying it anyway. Now that imini works, I don't have too much to complain about.
@syrupcore - in the video he selects a note or notes then tap to bring up a dialogue box that has cut, copy, select all, delete, velocity..., tune..., resonance..., filter..., and duplicate.
Ya it might be very nice but if they are ignorant enough to SNUB audiobus again I too like MANY others will take a pass again. There is no excuse for such crap no matter WHO makes excuses for them. They certainly have no valid reason to do so other than childishness at this point. Of course they can do what ever they like but they will have to do it without myself and many others if they choose this failed path again.
To be honest if this machine does whatever a man requires and connects to an audiobus host via iaa or in any other way I see no reason not to get it. I'm too old to be forging alliances or becoming a fan boy to one platform or system or another. It reminds me a bit of ios vs android war. If android was more capable and more loved by music developers I bet at least half of us here would be using this devices to make music. I kinda got used to being in an ios world with expensive memory expansion and weak connectivity but who knows what will happen when or if Google catches up. Just saying ;-)
like already mentioned above, the timeline is almost the same as in Tabletop and you can use that for free, sequencing your IAA synths for example
