If you notice, the attacking is coming from one side...so "you guys" isn't particularly accurate.
I find a well deserved smack down satisfying , but to each their own...
I would say this, as I usually do, I do not like the business structure and policy of Retronyms , but it's about making money. Their Table Top concept is one that I like and since the last update it's become more stable. Table Top and iMPC has a large user base and let's face it iMPC is the best drum app to date, it has the best samples. The decision about how the add IAA and not adding AudioBus is what I don't understand but they must have their own reasons.
I think iMPC Pro would have all we wanted in iMPC , I also think it would work hand in hand with the desktop MPC software and MPC Essentials.
I agree that the App is still a far way off and it's all speculation.

Yes, I agree with this totally. If anyone has anything to say please message me and keep further attacks from cluttering the forum.

Throw it overboard

Pack it to the shore

Hello! I'm Dan Walton, one of the cofounders at Retronyms. I personally worked on Recorder, Synth, DopplerPad, Tabletop, iMPC, iMPC Pro, AudioCopy and CloudSeeder. We are really excited about iMPC Pro. I'm also really excited about other upcoming announcements
I thought I'd hop on here and say Hi. I'm a bit of a lurker but,In previous posts here I said I would try to show up now and then. I'm not going to be able to reveal too much about iMPC Pro. Our plan is to show off bits at a time with iMPC Pro log. I can say here however that we are going to support IAA in a few ways, including node support. This isn't finished yet, but I've been testing it a bit and it's promising.
Also if anyone is interested we are planning a reddit AMA (ask me anything) next week. We will try to talk more about upcoming products and tools then.
Hello @DanWalton. I hope that Tabletop IAA device for effect apps is still happening. I know how it goes, I won't get a straight answer if any. Anyway, Tabletop is amazing, I love it. Good luck with the iMPC Pro.
@DanWalton
Thanks for checking in here-
Tabletop is a favorite - - keep up the good work! Frankly I can't freakin wait for iMPC pro. The teasing is driving me nuts.
I hope it's spec doesn't outstrip iPad 4 (?!)
Um, no.
Thanks for the encouraging words guys. I do all my development these days on an iPad Mini without retna. It helps to ensure that everything we do runs on an iPad 2. iPad 1 in my opinion is a little outdated at this point. However the other machines are all pretty capable.
For Tabletop we tried to allow you to fill the entire screen on an iPad 1 and still run. I'm pretty sure there are some devices like the AutoTune and Boom Room that completely max out an iPad 1 at this point.
iMPC Pro allows 64 tracks which is pretty crazy considering each track can contain so many samples. In this case, different devices will max out at different sample counts.
In my experience an iPad 2 or iPad mini works really really well at this point.
@DanWalton
I appreciate you zeroing in on that issue, and it's good to know where y'all are at.
My experience with Tabletop: Got into it day one when it went live, and into each device as it went live, when all we had was IPad 1 as we now call it...and I was happy to get into iPad 4 when I could, so I could run what Tabletop had become at that point (it was Tabletop on one hand, and Auria on the other, and that was that). Sounds like I can hold onto the 4 a bit longer then. Keep up the good work, damn the torpedoes.

If by IAA node support you mean that I can load iMPC Pro into Cubasis and have rock solid Midi sync with my project, then I'm interested! :-) I hope nothing important is left out in the development! :-) Right now, things are looking good! :-)
@Littlewoodg haha, I guess iPad 1 is a retronym. An iPad 4 is a really nice machine. My best machine from day to day is an mini. I think we only have 1 air at the office. Tester get priority on that. ; )
@Audiojunkie ok, I'm going to have to load up Cubasis. I haven't tried that but we will make sure to test it. Do you need to use Midi sync if you are using IAA?
@DanWalton said:
Yes, I think everyone here would agree that Midi sync is not only needed, but essential. The general idea is that the entire drum part of the song (the whole song) plays in sync with the host (in my case, Cubasis).
To go further with examples: in my Cubasis project, I would expect to load one track with iMPC Pro, and create my song's entire drum track. Then, I would use other Cubasis tracks for the other parts of my song.
Currently, this can be done with the DM1 Drum machine, but the way iMPC Pro is looking, I think it will be a much better tool for me for drums.
Does that make sense?
These would be the essentials needed by most of us, I believe.
I think this makes sense.
As far as I can see IAA supports timeline sync. I'll test out this work flow and see what I can find.
Thanks for your help.
Dan
@DanWalton said:
Thank you! :-)
I just wish they fix Tabletop first as it's still very unstable on a ipad 3 crashed 3 times in a hour yesterday trying to put a combo together gave up in the end!
@Danwalton,like what I'm seeing with impc pro.thanks.
To add to the @audiojunkie request...could you test that when you 'freeze' the track in cubasis,the audio is not distorted....(in a freeze operation apps have to work faster than in normal playing.This has caused some apps to produce unusable distorted audio files)
Thanks for your hard work Dan.
Hope this becomes the app we all want it to be.
@DanWalton said:
Since you're here I'm gonna pop the question. Why imini has no midi channel selector? This fact makes it unusable for a huge number of people on this forum and beyond. (Is there beyond?).
@DanWalton: Dan, Thanks for joining the forum and answering questions about iMPC Pro. There is a discussion regarding support for velocity sensitive pads in which you mentioned that it was unstable. Does that apply to only pad taps to the Ipad screen or also to pad taps from an external contoller?
RE velocity: Seems like maybe Retronyms should talk to the Orphion app dev, because the unlockable velocity control you get in that app (by double tapping the version number on the last info page) works SO beautifully... very natural and runs smooth as silk.
Velocity should at least be a user optional function. And/Or they could lay velocity grids across the pads so say higher is harder etc.
@Dham said:
Clarification, it wasn't Dan who said it, it was another member of Retronyms. JP, I think...
I was talking about approximating velocity using the accelerometer on the iPad. It just isn't repeatable enough to be satisfying.
There is more opportunity to investigate possibilities here though.
@DanWalton said:
Ok, cool, that's what I thought they were alluding to. As long as it senses velocity via a midi controller. I've already had enough experiences with broken Ipad screens:)
@Sinapsya Ohh awesome video. I hadn't seen that one yet.
@Dham Did you really break an iPad while playing with a music app?
@supadom The channel selector is a good idea. When we started the project the idea was, "wouldn't it be cool if you could connect a real keyboard to this thing." Everything has move so far since then. I hope we can add something like this.
@DanWalton hope the new app the drum pads would reflect the sample name, also this could be a feature added to the existing iMPC app
Hi Dan Walton great to see another dev on the forum. Looking fwd to iMPC Pro. Love the teaser videos. Quick question on Mastermind can you use a external midi keyboard to control IAA synths and also record the results in Tabletop as found I can only record using the ipad keyboard at present and want to use my Samson 49?
