@skoptic ok thanks
It doesn't sound like a crazy feature but I guess I can live without it ! It would be nice to allow it in a future update though...
@DanWalton
Could you please take a look to impc classic ,chop glitch?(when you have time?).It seems that start/end points do not correspond to what I hear, especially when trying to isolate small hit (<1sec) on the waveform.And please enable the fx of impc classic inside Tabletop!
Glad to hear you have plans for the audiocopy "silence at the end" issue.Same issue on impc classic audio export...A simple workaround would be displaying bars (by manually inserting the sample's bpm) along with the seconds in audiocopy view and select in edit mod : "trim to X bars" (and auto apply a fade in/out).
Sorry for the "off impc pro" comments!
Hi guys, There is a mode to bypass the compressor at the end?? I need only a limiter...

@DanWalton - After experiencing so many so many IAA problems during the rollout of iMPC Pro are you guys at least considering the possibility of also adding Audiobus 2 as an additional option for your users? AB2 has proven to be mature, stable and offers additional features as well as compatibility/interoperability with IAA.

Could you please explain how you delete a program ?
I'm getting crazy having 30 times the same program with names ending with 1, 2, 3,... 30 just because I change a parameter in a program and want to save the change LOL.
(I hope it does not involve getting connected to a Mac/PC...).
@ElGregoLoco Not sure if it's the same with Pro, but in the original iMPC there is a menu button to the left of the program that opens the program menu. Once in program menu, there is a delete button.
@ElGregoLoco said:
Tap on the Program in the Top Gray top area and go to the tab My Programs and swipe Left to reveal the RED delete button
(Honestly i was lucky to find it because i was trying to delete it in the same place where you save the programs but no luck there i wonder why? It would be so simple to just drag the program to a 'trash/delete icon' but there is none to be found).
GUI Consistency is something i look for in apps, it gives them a more serious and professional feel.
Hey guys, sorry i tried reading thru this whole thread but it's a long one. Three questions: 1) does MIDI out work? 2) Can we import 24 bit samples in? 3) I see there are some bugs but provided we import samples in, can we lay down beats and record? Thanks in advance!

Midi out seem to work (maybe omni?) - I've only really played with midi in, but saw it worked.
24 bits samples cause issues.. stick to 16 bit
Get samples imported in bulk via ifunbox.. lay beats and record! (although exactly what you mean by 'record' could mean a few different workflows or buggy options at the mo). I'm recording out to audioshare... all works fine
Anyone have the Boomroom reverb animation working on the fx page?
@DaveMagoo said:
I had it working the first time I opened the app. Never seen it since. Wouldn't categorize it as a critical bug though
So now we are on page 20 on the audiobusforum about an app that doesnt support ab &_&
hello retronyms, read the signs of the time and realize where the music is playing
You can use it in AB if you hang it off AudioShare. Works on input and output no probs at all.
Lol, no thanks. I have to deal with enough workarounds already. Im not going to buy the horse with the two legs ...
Well, it's hardly a taxing workaround and if you want to use it in AB you can.
@lala said:
I'm coming to the similar conclusion albeit I already have the app. My problem is not directly connected with impc pro though. I was hoping I'd have a carefree experience with impcp + imini + iaa fx + iaa synths within tabletop all singing and dancing to the same clock. Unfortunately I'm not able to focus on getting tunes together as there is always something that doesn't quite play right. Especially iaa integration sucks. This I admit may have to do more with iaa than tabletop but either way things are still quite smelly around here. I'm not sure I'm gonna go refund route but I may have to delete all those apps until the new tide comes in. No massive hard feelings just wish things were a little simpler in the ios music world.
My advice is to use the IAA recorder, after you have things just the way you left them. IAA doesn't remember settings etc.
@thinds said:
Yep. I mean, I would love it if it had direct (and multichannel) AB support but the Audioshare workaround works just fine. At this point, I'd prefer them concentrate on squashing bugs and adding new features rather than implementing AB.
@KlaatuNinja said:
Yeah I know what you mean but I can do that already in bm2. I much prefer working in midi. Never mind
Edit: I also had Imini playing differently at times and I've been having problems with the sequence not going forward in tt even with loop turned off. Bugs all over.
It's a pity though and I hope they get ironed out because generally the timing is ok.
I'm enjoying using iMPC Pro on its own.....importing samples.....sampling via IAA etc.....also using iMPC via Auria IAA and pro L & pro Q is cool.....
Still interesting thus far....it's nice having less road blocks sticking to 1 app....it kind of suits the current capabilities of ios pretty well....
what is the deal with the reports of the impc pro not working with iOS sound cards like it should, are these flukes or is this happening across the board. I have an is202 that i'm hoping to use with the impc pro but its in another location right now?
Theres one guy in this thread with problems with the is202 unfortunately ;-) He is describing his problem well and did that more than one time.Dont know the page(s)
ok, I'll see if I can find it. I wonder if Dan or Jp said anything about this?
@kobamoto said:
i didn't see a reply on this one.
But they are swimming in (other)bugs and who wants to use an iMPC Pro with a pro soundcard anyway,right?
Sorry,couldn't resist ;-)
i appreciate their current effort,we'll see...
This might be obvious, but a workaround for dealing with the sequencing of samples that are too long (due to an extended tail from Audiocopy import or whatever) is to switch them to 'hold' mode and adjust release time to zero in amplitude. Then the sample will play for exactly as long as you set the note trigger for in the timeline.
@Korakios +1 on auto-trim to specified bars/beats suggestion, and need for indication of bars and beats in editor (in both iMPC Pro and Audiocopy). Many iOS and computer apps and DAWs have the option to snap loop markers to BPM-specific beats and bars, and it would work nicely in these audio editors.
@gjcyrus I seemed to have some limited luck, after importing 24bit samples via ifunbox, when I exported 24bit WAVs to Audiocopy and then pasted back in to iMPC Pro ... even though you can't export 24 bit samples to Audiocopy from somewhere like Audioshare. But yeah, @Skoptic's right, 24bit WAV samples are very problematic -- iMPC Pro and Audiocopy can't really handle them.
Haven't tried aiff format.
@Yan +1 for more specific visual feedback on tuning (i.e. semitones values). Right now, the range of 0-127 on the tuning dial seems to represent a four octave range, with 31/32 and 95/96 representing one octave or and down, respectively (eight values on the dial is apparently equal to 3 semitones).
In precision mode, employing the two finger method will jump the dial by octaves. Also, when in precision mode, slowly sliding your finger up or down apparently jumps the dial value by a half of a semitone, instead of moving up one value at a time on the dial. This method has the dial intermittently skipping values to get you a more proportional 24:12 ratio, it seems. So even though 32 values on the dial is equal to an octave, slowly sliding your finger up or down will use just 24 notches on the dial to get you to an octave of difference.
One reason specified tuning amounts -- in semitones -- is desirable is that it makes it possible, especially for those of us with key-labeled samples, to combine samples that clash tonally. For example, if you want to use a sample that's in the scale of G major within a project that's in C major, you can tune the former sample by +5 or -7 semitones to make them get along better, if desired.
It's a cool idea re: release time but sadly it only works for that use case. It doesn't work if you want to paste it into another app like Sector or Beatmaker or Loopy or whatever and have the loop actually, you know, loop!

Thanks PO,
At least there is a way to get exact sounds, but, as you note, the app does absolutely!!! need 'specific visual feedback on tuning' or else it'll take endless hours hunting and tweaking to get everything in the same key and even then...
Now, I'll print this out and go play around with the harmonic sounds to see what it takes to make pretty music :-)
@Prallaxobject @Yan You could use an iphone ( if u have one) and say thumbjams built in tune detection for each sample you want to tune live in impc pro. Or a any other tuning app/device. Thumbjam works very well ipad speaker to iphone mic.
ParallaxO,
I'm confused (it's not unusual) but you discuss the 'tuning dial'. Where is that?
There is a spin button in the timeline, and a tuning position in the 16 step option, but where is the dial I can use with precision mode?
