Someone wrote this topic and i see its not only the is202 who has the problem for using audio interface with ipad 2.
CAN you send feed-back with others audio interface ( 30 pins or lightning ) ?
CAN you Try this issue because for me its functionnal and retourne à feed-back ?
I wrote this last for retronyms.
So i test some scenarios for using is202 istudio of behringer.
I use ipad2 and ios7.
1) first test
A)i kill all process in ram of ipad for maximum ram for Samples.
B)I turn on the is202 and launch impc pro.
C)When i touch play, speakers of ipad is on but not the main output or headphones of is202.
D)I have to power off the is202 and power on for just enable the output and headphones of is202 and it works sometimes.
E)with this manipulations (C&D), sampling with line/mic of is202 don't work but only the mic of the ipad2.
2)second test
A)i kill all process in ipad ram.
B)i turn on the is202.
C)i launch impc first.
D)i launch impc pro.
E)now i have any problem for listening with output and headphones of is202 and recording is ok with mic/line input of is202 with cd,vynil,tape,smartphone...
F)but if i kill the process of impc, we have the same problems of first test at case C).Main output and headphones disabled for is202 and recording with mic/line of is202 not working only ipad hardware is functionnal.
Thanks
Why are the notes laid out so weirdly (MIDI)? The rogue A#6 representing pad A04 looks completely bonkers in context with those around it - is there a reason for it being there? Is there no way to control pad sets B, C and D?
I'm having a lot of fun with the app, btw. Can't wait for some user videos on workflow techniques!
Hey Syrupcore Thats a bit over the top
"1/3-1/2 of this thread is a shit show of $13 entitlement and resentfulness"
Think you are totally going off the deep end and being horrible to people who just know Retronyms track record and poor quality software. The actual monetary value is irrelevant. It's about lies and deceitfulness and being taken for a fool - not about $13!
I think it's more of a shit show that people can't just let other people have their opinions - like me now having a go at you for having a go at me for having a go at Retronyms - can't you see how pointless this is?
Let people have their opinions and don't let it get to you - chill out dude!
As for Retronyms not reading a thread because people are pointing out problems with their developers, well, you're starting to look like a weird kind of shill.
@Baddcr
I thought syrupcore was spot on. It's fine for people to vent spleen, but at some point the thread becomes less constructive for both the app and developer and those who have chosen to purchase it. I am happy that people got to comment on why they do not want the app in its current state, I am also happy that the thread is now more constructive for those who are using it. I'd love it to continue in that vain.
Just caught up on the rest of the thread and it is great that Retronyms are coming out and accepting responsibility. Keep up the good work!
@Paulinko - you expressed the reasons for frustration and the needs for iOS musicians perfectly - this is it!
I'm all for forgiveness and moving on and am watching to see how this progresses. I don't care if I miss the intro price, it's not about money, entitlement or anything else like that, it's about already having more apps than I can shake a stick at and not wanting to spend more cash/time/energy on stuff that isn't adding anything to the mix, especially from a company who have irked me in the past.
For what it's worth, I think iMPC Pro has the opportunity here to be a superb app that does address the needs of iOS musicians in an extraordinarily awesome way and I sincerely wish them all the best and hope to see a positive outcome to all of this
@syrupcore - my apologies, reading my last post back I didn't mean to call you any names, that's just stupid too.
@DanWalton I just want to take this opportunity to thank Dan and all the guys Retronyms for having listened to all the requests of the users of IMPC.
I am sure that in the next version the bug will be fixed and the app can only improve.
Simply Thank you.
@DanWalton & @water_horse_3G Thank you for participating on this forum. This action convinced me that mpc-pro has future and I'll buy it (on the first bug fix update)!
PS. It should be mentioned that the email support is excellent.Thanks!

Yes - thank you
@Baddcr said:
and then?
Pot, kettle, something or other...
Obviously, I would consider calling some of the reactions here 'pointing out problems' to be underselling it a bit. And, I wouldn't call myself a shill, not even the weird kind but, I am really looking forward to shaving JP's beard.
@DanWalton
Thanks for the app, its fun and it sounds great. Good work.
If you would be so kind, there is one small feature i would like to request.
In program mode, where you select pad playback options as "1 Shot" or "Hold", is it possible to add a "Loop" option, as if i press a pad it will continue looping the loaded sample until i press the pad again, maybe even a "Loop and Reverse" option too?
I think this will make an excelent addition to the live use capabilities of the app, and i hope you will consider this function in future updates.
Cheers
@yaknepper said:
It would be even better if it cropped the sample at the end of the bar or allow to snap the sample to the full length so it loops exactly with the bar.
Even better indeed..
@supadom said:
Can the iMPC only play in 4/4 time and it if can play in other time signatures can you have different signatures in the same song. Can tempos be changed in mid song?
Thanks!
@Dan & Neal...great work guys. Loving the app and excited about the future updates. I'm sure I don't have to tell you not to feel the need to respond to all of these illogically entitled whiners but I appreciate that you have personally addressed some of them. Any real artist or musician that uses any number of pro audio software or hardware knows bugs are a plenty with newly launched gear and limiting launch features makes way for a more efficient app less bloat in the future as you can respond to what's needed vs assuming. I love BM2 as do many iOS musician so you can find the features many of us want in that app. You guys have already murdered their interface and workflow so keep up the good work. Every bm2 user knows how much intua engages it's user community, Nill. So again, many props for popping in. Most of us of the logical type know you have much to do and plenty of stress without sifting through a bunch of whiny posts from people who spent a whole whopping $13 bucks and then expect the world day 1. For those that fit the type...get a grip. Audiobus is getting IAA so enough whining about that already. Midi is coming, stop whining already. If you're good enough to make good music you don't need all that shit anyways. If you're not, there's plenty of practice and research in order while true creative people who are actually good at things (RETRONYMS) create cool shit. My feature request is for this forum. Put some big boy skivvies on Man up and nerds please stop B1tching.
lol
Hello Dan,
Thanks a lot for your app and feed-back...
I have a few issues I'd like to adress on my side :
I can't find how to copy a sample in iMPC Pro (from General Pasteboard or AudioCopy, or via audioshare I don't mind... I just need a simple solution to import samples without having to record them in Loopy as I do now).
When I record samples in iMPC Pro, via inter-app audio for example (and I tried from different Apps), and then chop the sample, all chops starts and ends with a 'clip' or a 'pop' (I don't know the english word sorry) and I have a really hard time reducing these 'noises' by moving slightly the start/end markers of the chop (and I can never completely romove them). It almost make the app unusable for me (or I will need a great hiss/clips reducer processing software to process all my songs made with iMPC Pro LOL).
Is it possible for you to solve this issue ? Is there a solution ?
When in the Timeline and setting the tuning or velocity, would it be possible to have numbered indications tso that we know exactly what we apply (for example, choosing a single event would bring a little information frame with the tuning and velocity value of this event...). And please, make the tuning on a -12/+12 or -24/+24 semitones scale like everyone does (lol)
After recording a sample, I can't delete it but moreover I cannot trim the file (I mean for example delete the end of the recoding which I don't use to reduce the file size for ewample).
Finally, when working on a sample, the maximum level of zoom seems to depend on the length of the sample (I can zoom more on shorter samples...) and therefore, on long samples (over 15-20 sc), it's not possible to zoom enough to be sufficiently precise when working on the sample and trimming/chopping sections.
PS : And the App, already crashed 3-4 times on me in only a few hours of use (lost part of my work each time).
PS2 : And we desperatly need time stretching... I cannot accept that when I produce a song, I HAVE to use the same tempo as the song I sampled...
I say all this because I'm an old MPC lover and was waiting for your App like a kid for Xmas... And I which that all the above issues would be addressed so that I can scream my love for Retronyms to the world :-)
Peace.
WilliePapers : LOL, you are the hater of haters, bitching and whining about bitchers and whiners LOL
But I kinda agree with you, it's really easy to spit at retronyms face while they produce good music appz for reasonable prices and make the iOS music world move forward...
But I hope that you understand why someone really into the app would like to have additional feature answering his needs and complying with his workflow...
Yowza : Yes, yes and yes ;-)
Nice wall of text whining about people whining.
Well done willy
Ok now I'm completely gutted. Just spent half an hour carefully chopping an old funk break and creating a really cool break from it, saved and on reload all the chops have moved and it now sounds like shit.
So I went through the 4 tracks I have made over the last 2 days and sure enough one of them is completely screwed just like the track I just made...
I am saddened by this as this means no more using this app until this is fixed, I hate putting in hours of work only to lose the song to a bug.. So very frustrating
I'm going to pull the mpc500 out of the draw and use that instead lol
@water_horse_3G said:
Thanks for the midi mappings for the pads, etc.
Are CC values available for the mixer faders, and EQ?
If so, could you post those as well.
Also are the "Track Down & Up" notes the only way to select a channel on the mixer page?
@yaknepper said:
Two thumbs up.
I really want this app to be solid, as I love my real mpcs. If this app gets time stretch and fixes the bugs I will buy a mpc element instantly. No joke, I have high hopes for this thing, but also am worried after the being burnt by so many ios apps.
DAN !!!
I dropped "a few" thousands of samples into this baby (I know, but I've collected lots of drumkits over the years that I dug up for this one:). If you guys can find a way to speed up loading projects/editing files when there are a lot of user samples in the app, that would be awesome.
I'm guessing the, really fast, search function etc needs to rescan after any changes and whatnot.
Anyway, it's definitely not a show stopper, but still wanted to mention it (just incase you can shave off a few secs;). Should mention this is on an iPad Air. iMaschine by NI is also super slow with loading file/sample lists on iPad Air, but not on earlier 32bit devices, irregardless of the nr of samples. So might be an issue with the Air only.
@DanWalton said:
@DanWalton: Node support is only partially implemented. IAA Generator mode is there, but the more important IAA Instrument mode (with ability to properly sync the app to the host) is currently not there. We REALLY need the ability to properly sync iMPC Pro to our hosts so that the song (drum track) plays back properly in time with the rest of our project. The same with recording. When iMPC Pro is loaded into our host and we press play, it should play along with the project in sync. When we press record in our host, iMPC should play the audio in sync along with the project and be recorded by the host. That is a big thing we need.
I have a Facebook response from Retronyms where it was stated that this was a bug and would be fixed, but you didn't mention that this was one of the things you are working on in your known bugs listed above. What is being done to fix this issue? Thanks!
@ChrisG Good thing: if you load your samples with iFunbox in iMPC Pro it read the sub-folders too which is very cool :-)
Haha, it will look well dodgy if/when they put a link to this thread on one of their websites. Apple vs Microsoft springs to mind. Ah, sorry, take no notice, I was just passing by
@Sinapsya said:
Yep. I got loads and loads of drum kits/collections sorted in folders and sub folders. I have this 10+ years old sample-cd, containing upwards 600 kits and 5000-6000 something samples. It's not big, a few hundred mb. Lots of great sampled stuff from vinyls, lo-fi things, absolutely great for hip-hop, breakbeats and so on. But if I drop that one into iMPC Pro as well, every time you do any editing on a file, or every time you load a project, just takes too long. Hopefully the retro dudes can find a way to do (or not do) the indexing faster. I'd love to have all the samples in this app, since it's so easy to preview and drag/drop all the stuff (as opposed to have'em in another app and audio copy/paste every kick, snare, hat I come across and wanna use).
@DanWalton said:
Hi Dan,
First, congratulations on bringing a great music tool to IOS users. Will there be progam and sequence export capability for MPC Studio and Ren. devices as there was in the original iMPC? If so, what is the timeframe for adding that feature? That is one of the key features that made iMPC a valuable tool for me and many other MPC users. having the ability to quickly create program kits while on the go and then transfer them to the desktop MPC software when I get to the studio was a very nice feature.
@DaveMagoo here is a link to the page. Not sure why it isn't showing up in the app ;(

@Michael_R_Grant Not sure why the midi is laid out so strangely. We just mapped Akai's Element. There is probably some history to that map. As someone else was mentioning, who knows it might work with other Akai hardware.
@looping_samples
Good idea. We are working on different looping and time stretching tech right now. I can't say too much more right now. I personally would like to see a simply looping switch as described.
@time_signatures
A song can contain different sequences. Each sequence has it's own tempo and time signature. so yes.
