This confused me at first. It appears that you can still sample and resampled using in iMPC Pro in TT using exactly the same method as on the stand alone App but you can't sample any of the other devices in TT directly. To achieve this it looks like you have to use ACP and capture the audio in another TT device? It's the first TT device that feels like it fits outside of the normal TT workflow.
I tried to capture an IAA device with Zignal but copying it within that device did not allow the audio to be "audio pasted" in iMPC Pro. Then I realised that I could just sample the IAA device directly into iMPC Pro without using any other TT devices....
It's going to take a little getting used to to work out the optimum resampling work flow but I think all the options are there. Might have to think about how to best achieve the desired result before starting the process!
Has anyone worked out a way to affect a track with an IAA insert without the dry signal coming through?
For example a filter from sugarbytes WOW, how can I use a LP filter from WOW using IAA without the original unfiltered signal being mixed in?
Do I have to export the pattern as audiocopy then bring it back into impc pro and rechop it to a program??
Tabletop isn't saving the output connection from iMPC Pro when you reopen a saved TT project. Also, while in TT, if you change programs in iMPC Pro, the name of the program doesn't change to reflect it (even though the program has actually changed).
Spot on Michael R Grant
@Michael_R_Grant said:
Yes Yes Yes please consider this, its a small detail but a real workflow killer (at least for me and DaveMagoo..)
@DaveMagoo said:
@yaknepper I also think the workflow would be improved by having the sample name on the pads, like it has the sequence name on them in song mode....
@Janie said:
LOL
I think the way the bugs are dealt with will tell a lot about the devs commitment and dedication to this app....
if we see regular updates to iron out the bugs fairly quickly then this app will be worth sticking with.
If the updates are few and far between (like tabletop) then this will probably get deleted....especially if the most glaring bugs are not dealt with soon.
I'm definetly rooting for Retronyms with this app as I think with refinement it could be an all time great, but with the track record of tabletop updates taking forever I remain cautiously optimistic
@Janie said:
With Retronyms history of completing 'uncompleted features', (midi in iMini).
Then yeah, they're probably correctly labeled as problems.
I got a reply from Retronyms about the crash that happens when setting the main volume fader globally....
Yes, thank you. fixed in a update on it's way.
@DaveMagoo said:
That's the main reason I'm one (of the few!) who has not bought the pro, yet...impc classic and tabletop where slowly growing and updated, now that the pro has so many players I hope Retronyms will work hard and evolve their products (and take our money!)...
PS. Someone (brave enough!) should gather a bug list.This thread is getting huge!
Is there a way to instantly select a new sequence rather than having to wait for the existing one to run through? I was hoping that a double tap would do it, but no. Maybe I'm missing someone obvious,
@Korakios said:
i was going to do a bug list but the amount of bugs and omissions is getting overwhelming now :O
Bug: fx from the main page, low to high pass 1/8, recorded to a sequence. On Song page, arrangement, play song, the seq fx is stuttering not playing right. When I play the seqces manually in the same order it works. What a stupid bug with no sense.
p.s. this is not the first bug I found, just the first I am posting ;-)
Does anyone know how to save the swing setting on the main page (under time correct) and the note grid in the timeline.
When I open my project back up neither are saved???
Maybe another bug?
.
anyone know how to delete a sample from a pad?
@DaveMagoo said:
If it works like the original iMPC, you drag the sample from the pad off the screen.
@telecharge said:
Ha it worked
You get a little cloud icon pop up as you do it.....thanks !
Well I'm doing it.. This is going to be the first app I request a refund for. I own literally hundreds of apps but this one is a mess and being an owner of the original impc I am more than a little worried that this one will not be fixed quickly or maybe ever. I will buy again if they make it run better and fix the incredible list of bugs that are accumulating.
If not then there's always beathawk, beatmaker3, and nanostudio2.
I think nanostudio2 will be something very special. The first one is such a solid app.
Pece.
Hope I don't get noscoped.
@Buska I requested a refund for IMPC Pro yesterday and got it immediately. I'll be buying again when all the bugs have been exterminated.
I got a refund too. Such a shame.
I did not ask for a refund.
I see all the potential of the app, and I see all the work already put into it and I am thankfull that Retronyms replies to users on this forum, on twitter and on facebook...
Dont listen to the grumpy haters ;-)... Get the app, and have a blast
It's not really a pro app after all tho is it... It's a bit like a toy more than anything serious. Impc pro? Don't think so akai shouldn't allow them to use the name.
We should see an update soon (hopefully) to fix some of the main bugs.
This is a response about one of the bugs...." Yes, thank you. fixed in a update on it's way"
I personally find the workflow liberating & refreshing from what I'm used to.
Overall it's clearly an app I can personally get stuff done in and this is what matters to me, none of the bugs have lost my music (yet) so I can put up with the ones it has in the short term.
I really do hope that we see this app get the attention it deserves from Retronyms post release.
First priority needs to be the chop point bug...if we see a fix this week I can forgive this one
Never realised the legacy of mpc....this video reminds me i can get too focused on the 'how' and not the vibe....:)
@Digitalresonance said:
I totally disagree...it's far from toy. Buggy yes, but not a toy. As for the pro name ,I think that this app should be the first impc and never released the first version (named impc classic now). Maybe retronyms will delay the first bug fix update ,since they are so many ,but until bm3 the mpc pro leads as a sampler...
sorry but it has to be said that Buska was not being superior, he was being spot on!!! If he was asking why in heaven your fav synTh didn't have a filter and resonance knob then you wouldn't say the same thing. If you are not familiar with the type of app this is. Or the type of workflow, or the type of features that are supposed to be present, and on top of that if you are not familiar with the priorities of a drum sampler then it doesn't make any sense for you to jump to conclusions about faux superiority. Drum sampler users are no different than synth users in that they know how to use the instrument and what it's supposed to entail, same as mod synth users, etc...
This is a wonderful app on the surface and some places underneathe but make no mistake there are some serious issues facing musicians who use drumsamplers regarding this app. Just because we sample doesn't mean that we need to be taken any less seriously than the folks really into synths etc.... sample editing points bug is MAJOR, audio export bug that I reported a couple of days after the first impc was released on retronyms fb page still not being fixed and now in the impc pro is a MAJOR problem for people using drumsamplers to make sample based music.
These things need to e addressed as well as others so please don't let your personal feelings about people on other forums get in the way of retronyms seeing how important this is. If you're not a samplist, or if you do not make heavily sample based music then it makes sense for you to be leased concerned but it certainly doesn't make sense for you to pass judgement like you actually understand......... Again Buska was not being superior he was being factual about a sampling midi production center! (No disrespect intended)
@Korakios said:
Strongly disagree with this statement. There's bugs in the basic sample editing features on the current release version of iMPC Pro. No sampler can "lead" when basic editing features don't work properly.
There are definitely some hot takes in this thread...
Edit: I do enjoy some features here a lot. However, due to already being burned by the chop bug on this thing (luckily I had read about it here already so it was a small sample and not much work lost), I'm holding off until some bugfixes show up.
The MIDI implementation on this thing bothers me. A bizarre obfuscation.
@ElGregoLoco said:
Hmm if a blast is getting so frustrated that you blow your own brains out I guess I can agree with your sentiment.
This app has great potential, I was hoping this could replace my mpc500 as a travel Mpc. I nearly sold my mpc500 to fund a Mpc Fly. And I may still do that once and if this app fulfils its potential. I really hope it does and we aren't left with an app like the original impc (still has some bugs that were never addressed).
I think after the dust has settled, like almost any app with more-than-a-toy intentions, this machine will be judged by the effort and commitment the company behind it is prepared to dedicate after launch.
We can discuss and argue about the strategy and merits (or otherwise) of inferior beta-testing and the effect of that on perception and, essentially, public relations, but much of that will be forgotten or forgiven if they simply Do Their Work.
I like what I have gotten out of this app so far and thus am choosing to be optimistic as regards them allocating some ongoing resources. This optimism is based on the idea that they've done most of the hard work and it would be simply poor business not to leverage their investment properly. We'll see.
For the record, I'm enjoying it, but can see that others, especially perhaps dedicated 'samplists', might feel frustrated and more.
