Wow, okay, so this is actually happening soon? All the jokes aside about the incessant hype and constant demo videos, this does look like a damn powerful app. I think it may just be a little bit too "much" for my skill level, music "production" (if you want to call it that) needs, and the CPU of my iPad2. But I'll definitely be all over the release and curious to see things like price, file size, etc.
Did the original iMPC just get a price drop? It shows $1.99 in the App Store, but still shows $6.99 (since Nov 2013) on App Shopper.

Yea they are celebrating the submission with a price drop on the old iMPC.
Richard Devine samples....nice!
shall we start a pool for the price?
Me: $19.99, $14.99 intro
So much hype I nearly forgot what is missing from the 84 bullet points of features: "audiobus" and "MIDI"
huh?? well, we knew they weren't supporting audiobus... but "Pro" with no MIDI implementation?
very confusing, these AKAI folks are. ...back to Beatmaker 2 for me.

Yea. They know the "Akai" brand name will keep them up high on the top lists. But they also know it's the AppStore we're talking about. And 20 bucks on the AppStore is being looked at by people like it's 200 bucks. They are gonna balance it for a long term high ranking app (I'm guessing the old MPC will be dirt cheap but still high on the charts and making money alongside the new app). So I'm gonna say $19.99 too.
Is the "old" iMPC worth getting or should I wait for Pro? I remember seeing something in the other iMPC Pro thread about existing iMPC owners getting hooked up when Pro drops.
@Hmtx said:
+1. After iMini and iMPC this looks like stryke 3 to me. I guess where is the incentive if people buy it anyway...
I suspect it will follow the Gadget pricing; 25 intro, 40 regular.
@telecharge said:
If the sample set is the same I see no reason to get the old one (which also have over 1200 samples from Devine). The iPhone version on the other hand, if you want an MPC in your pocket:)
No midi is the deal killer for me too. Bm2 will do until bm3 comes out. I'm sure they'll sell loads because of the akai hype though, bless.
@Hmtx said:
I have to agree.....will have to see if the early adopters see any midi implementation.......maybe they will save the most useful feature announcement for launch ?
Yep, no MIDI to speak of and we still haven't seen song view.
Does it support IAA instruments? I don't think I saw that in the IAA video. It does say 'sample based workflow' but being able to use/program synths is a big part of what keeps me in NanoStudio.
It does support IAA instruments (mentioned that in the IAA video)
That said, I don't think we should belittle the fact that there are an awful lot of nice looking features packed into this thing. AMP and FLT envelopes and effects per pad is pretty rad, for instance.
@CalCutta said:
Thanks. That's good news.
Edit: I just skipped through it and didn't see mention of it. It supports sampling from IAA instruments but not sequencing them (like BM2 or Cubasis, for instance).
Total speculation on my part, but I think there will be MIDI implementation but it will be entirely through IAA connections and nothing outside.
That spec list is from Akais site. There might be some things that are not listed. Didn't the old one have midi, but no mention of it, and Synapsya or someone dug out all the midi cc's?
Cant stop laughing
the "pro" cant sequence anything but itself
&_&
Hip trash for hip kids
I just want a proper working midi clock sync in and out. I know that is a though one to get working across the board in iOS land, but would be very useful.
After i watched the first video i was for sure paying 20 dls without doubts. But after all the videos and the specifications is not worth it for me more than 7-8 dlls.
$1.99 for the Devine samples in iMPC via iFunbox is a great deal for those who don't own them already.
Here's the best thing about them submitting this to the App Store : they can stop hyping it, and get to work releasing the mystery Arturia synth.
With omni midi only ^^
^^ pessimist!
@Zymos said:
That's how I feel about it too, not being critical about the iMPC PRO, I just get more excited about VA synth apps than samplers, especially the ones I can automate easily.
@syrupcore said:
Yea I just noticed that too going through the pictures again. There are pics from basically all tabs/sections except the "song" tab. Any dude from Retronyms or Akai here that wanna slap a screen of the song view on here?
Does iMPC Pro have an X0X-like step sequencer?
No Midi in an IMPC "Pro"? I lol'd hard.All the hype and then...this.
Move on,nothing to see here...
