Thanks man, didńt think about that... I feel dumb.
Now i cańt wait for click/pops removed and chop markers saving to be implemented so that I can use this sweet software to make music :-)
Anyone else occasionally have problems getting a note to record on the 1 of a loop? I'm not sure what it is but hard as I try, I can only get it to record on the 16th note after the 1. It's not all the time so I thought it was just me and my terrible musicianship but read on the NS forum that someone else is having the same issue.
@ArcaneScreams it should only be reacting to ch. 1 & 10 if there is anything else beyond what I posted on the blog, let me know and I'll do my best to help out.
I will also be updating the blog pretty soon with more updates.

If you are still having problems, make sure you try copying in the note numbers (48 instead of C4) to the editor. The editor could potentially be translating to a different note number.
Let me know if you still have issues!

I scratched my head for a while on it too—those tabs don't exactly stand out (which is great... once you know about them). Maybe a little UX greasing: if a pad has no sound, the 'Edit Sound' button could turn into an "Add Sound" button, basically switching you to the Sounds tab.

I get that too. Looping/recording, jumping in on 1 trying to lay down some 1/16 hihats is dodgy.

If implemented correctly iOS8 will make things a lot easier.
It's up to the developers to create file-picker sources for their apps that other apps can access and depending on what information is made available accessing samples, programs or practically any file will be easy, no more need for duplicate files...
This doesn't mean that factory-samples are automatically shared as file picker source to all other apps so there is still need for other methods, but for user created content this is a no-brainer.
As for AudioCopy from Retronyms i can see them implementing file-picker in AudioCopy and publish the files stored inside AudioCopy so all other apps can access them directly making it a near perfect place to store all your samples. (I really do like the light sample-editing features in AudioCopy)
Just wish there was an option in AudioCopy to delete empty folders or at least auto-hide folders with zero samples for housekeeping
@Samu Good, looks when iOS 8 is release....Don't need anymore to update my 64 GB iPad to a 128 GB :-)
My first effort with impc pro how it was supposed to be on release. Thanks for sorting it out so quickly. I think this thing will absolutely fly on the next ipad, it feels very slightly glitchy on iPad Air.

Sounds like it gets quantized at the end of the loop. This also happens with other daws with midi, try to hit the first note slightly later. If it is what I think it is.
Tabletop update just showed up in the App Store. This and the just-revealed MIDI info = ok, now I'll buy.
@supadom said:
Yea it's not an iMPC specific issue. Some apps and daws handles this slightly different, with some giving more "leeway" then others (by handling the quantizing/correction on that specific issue differently I guess). My timing sucks as it is, so I'm usually sagging behind a bit with the notes in any case.
@supadom good effort and such a clean, solid sound you got going on.
I get an error 1 msg when I try to open iMPC pro in Audioshare in AB?
Ok I got it to open but now there's no sound from AB?
@DanWalton
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.
@water_horse_3G , @DanWalton , got it working, I copied the note number instead. Thanks a lot, is there any way for us to use the NanoKontrol2 to control the transport and mixer, that might be something you could look at to incorporate a Mackic HUI like most of the daws . In so doing it would save a lot of problems. May be you could give the option in settings to use the present note values or switch to Mackie HUI.
Also it would be good if you update the present IMPC app and give us the access to the mixer and FX in the app like the Pro version.
How do I edit/chop a sound from my posted audio bank? It plays fine, just can't do anything with it. Never mind I got it.

@DarbyA Thanks! We try to be responsive on Twitter, Reddit/r/ipadmusic, SoundCloud, Facebook etc. Audiob.us doesn't notify me when people are talking about our products. Perhaps we need to set a google alert!
Another good source of MPC related info. regarding workflows, troubleshooting, suggestions, etc. is the MPC Forums: http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewforum.php?f=43
They have MPC hardware, MPC Ren/Studio, iMPC and even tablet Apps. forums

I plugged in my Qunexus and the piano keys activated the record on the transport so I think there are cc's for them...
Welcome to Tabletop heaven... 8 x iMPC Pro's in one rack.
@Trueyorky said:
Cheers, I really like what comes out of it. Especially within tabletop (possibly cause I can't be bothered to look into the song mode but also because I can add impromptu vocals easily). I have a bit of a love hate relationship with samplers because ideally I'd like to delete most of the built in samples and sample my own stuff, the problem is that it takes time and I generally don't have enough of it. It's good to see that akai finally released this, they must have realized that if they didn't somebody else would. Also the fact that one can sample through audiobus opens up the app considerably. We can finally focus on making music instead of bitching

Wanna hear what sound it makes
Morning
Started to love this app
Decided to cut some loops and spread across the pads, worked well
Opened project next day to find all the loop points F******d. Have others been having the same problem ? Am i doing something wrong. OR is this a bug.
If this is how its going to be then this app is a pile of S***........
Why are we beta testing--------------These are big names, why didn't they notice these huge problems i keep reading about.........
I really am beginning to get tired of this IOS route, almost thinking to cut my loses on the apps i brought, and just stick with desktop enviroment
Would be great if someone could comment on my main rant about loop points,
this is supposed to be an MPC for sampling---
am i being a baby or do i have any valid points
It looks like you can use 64 tracks in one instance of IMPC pro in Tabletop!
The track button stays on 1 when you add tracks but it is adding more tracks. Click on 1 and choose track 2. It will still say 1 onscreen but if you choose another sound on the left box you can add a different sound. Go back to the track chooser and you will notice it's not empty anymore. So you can use one instance, no need to fill the screen.
Bit of a bug with the number not changing...
Hmmm 8 x 64 tracks. No?
@Trueyorky said:
I think it's 4 x 64 tracks, this is blowing my mind in Tabletop!! It still has it's own mixer and fx as well!! You can lay out tracks and mute and fx for each one in the mixer!! Before you even plug into the mixer in Tabletop.
yeah you can get 64 tracks off this app w/o Tabletop
@CalCutta said:
Yeah, but the old IMPC was severely reduced in tabletop. This is much better. I thought they would ditch the mixer, and have limited tracks. This really opens up tabletop.
@Nicebutfun said:
It is a bug. They are looking into it - it's mentioned a lot earlier in the thread and on their Facebook. Bugs happen in all software, so I'm not getting too annoyed, and don't think it is restricted to iOS - but that's just me
@KlaatuNinja said:
I agree, this App really expands the possibilities in TT so for any TT users it's a no brainer!
Not only can you run multiple instances of iMPC Pro, potentially with up to 64 tracks each, but the functionality takes up a lot less space on the tabletop leaving room for other devices. Effectively you have multiple iMPC's, a mixer, the three effects devices on the sends, access to an in App Audio device, and a multi function distortion/bit crusher and a ring modulator per pad. There is also effectively the IAA instrument device and sampler. If all that went on a tabletop using the previous devices there wouldn't be any room for anything else.
It also dramatically simplifies the workflow for resampling and sampling IAA devices and provides the only access to IAA effects in the TT environment.
Hi,
Not sure if @DanWalton is still around but I was wondering if It was possible to build drum/sample kits in impc for iphone and then export them into impc pro?
It would take some of the RSI out of using the ipad for this in the garden....
