Aha. +10 love mounds @nanoloop. MIDI sync works great. Wish there was audiobus but more wish that other 16 step apps had that much grid power.
@Buska Oh cool! Good thing I kept my guesses to myself. Nanoloop has been on my wishlist since forever. I guess I'm getting it now.
made another track
anybody have any sightings of Dan or JP responding to the audio card not working issues?
how do you turn up the metronome in this app?
You can't. I suggest making a separate track with 16th hihats and crank it up if you want a proper metronome. I hate that click that they have. I can't hear it either.
Anyway... still waiting for that update. Let's hope they really fixed a lot of inconsistencies because they hyped it a lot and I as many was very disappointed about the quality/lack of testing.
Although I have an iPad Air, I've had crashes and lost some work.
I've said it and I say it again: why the hell they hype something THAT MUCH if they plan to release a crippled product? Why? If you test it properly and it freaking spins like a tourbillon when using the product, ok, you have a bullet proof v1, HYPE THE HELL OUT OF IT.
Also, not that I fancy tabletop... i find it crashy and the effects are horror...
but has anyone noticed that the new update is 1 freakin' gigabyte?
I guess those "tabletop enabled" instruments are actually copies of the app code inside tabletop. That's why sounds and programs created with iMPC / iMPC pro are not available and viceversa.
I wonder what happens when they'll have 10-20 of these "tabletop enabled" instruments.
[rant]I really hope Apple releases a Garage Band update, or some Logic X for iPad in September.[/rant]
Strangely ,I like Tabletop workflow (although TT is more than overpriced) and their blog mentions that will "add some polish to Tabletop"...Hopefully with some real improvements (and realistic pricing!)
I didn't say I don't like the workflow. The concept is very nice, and the graphics also, but the effects are very bad and really expensive. If you sum up all the in-app purchases it's a very expensive app. It's also very big, and very prone to crashing.
I haven't any of the iaps ,but I would prefer buying the bundle (which is still expensive plus not including all devices). So I am using the free version with impc classic the last 10 days and except some strange bugs it never crashed. Maybe I haven't use it that much and actually never stressed it...

On my mini retina, hardly any crashes. Did crash a lot on my standard mini, found the IAA keyboard a bit temperamental. I use the IAA recorder as once done it's a always the same when u go back.
Update out. The long loading times when loading project or editing files you'd get if you dumped a lot of samples into the app are completely gone. Really fast now. Moar samples here I come
JG gets deckchair, thermos of tea, sits back patiently
@ChrisG yep, chop 'em up then chop some more ;-)
If I'm able to download it when I get home, I'll check the midi sync in Cubasis and see if it is any good. Fingers crossed! :-)
@Audiojunkie I just did a quick test through IAA into Cubasis start/stop worked well but I had to set both to the same tempo. Once I did that it recorded very well.
Yea, pressing play/rec in Cubasis will trigger iMPC Pro, and vice versa.
Also works with Auria just fine.
Just updated. Still intermittently works with audio interfaces. When I get it to work and go to "New Sound" the sound switches from the audio interface (iTrack Dock) to the iPad speakers.
Yes ... Nice that it triggers automatically
I'm probably still going to use a midi note every couple of bars to retrigger it though cause that keeps it rock solid in time. Without that here I begin to drift after a number of bars.
@alexbuga Adding to Tabletop complaints, seems like real missed opportunity to not include a virtual input on iMPC Pro within TT. Original iMPC has one. I think Dan Walton wrote that he'd like to see one on the Pro. Would be more efficient than going through AudioCopy, and could add more possibilities for employing Pro effects in TT, and lack of it seems to defeat big purpose of TT environment.
The app responds nicely to the intensity with which I strike the pads on the Korg padKontrol so now I can do some more dynamic playing instead having the uniform sound level when you touch the pads in the app.
Yo Retronyms, if you hear me ...Thanks for v1.1 !!!
Keep up the good work, I'm already waiting for v1.2 with strech and match to beat functionnalities and with support for audio interfaces such as Line 6 Sonic Port ;-)
Update working only in standalone mode. Inside Tabletop still same problems
Yes, please support my line6 Sp!
Has anybody tested it with the Akai EIE?
Thanks @Trueyorky :-) I tried things out using a full song (one of the included demos). Things seemed to work, but iMPC Pro seems to be using more resources or something. I could get it to load, and run, but then the IAA transport controls seemed to stop responding. The song (drum track) stuttered horribly. I wasn't able to check to see if things stayed in sync throughout the whole song or not. Freezing worked, however, and that seemed to help a lot. Changing latency settings in Cubasis also helped.
This is with an iPad 2. I need to do further testing to give a fair review though. It does, under initial testing, appear to be an improvement. :-)
Cool and much better using iPad Air of course ;-)

Maybe they fear that if they add input ,it might compete their own FXs. Look at the impc classic ,Retronyms completely removed the FX section (fail).
I bought this last night. Was like "why am I buying this?" as I was doing it, but it stayed at 12.99 long enough the temptation got me.
So far so good. Capturing samples via IAA is neat. The whole thing kind of reminds me of a more elaborate DM-1. The effects are better, as are the samples.
Is there a way to stop loops from copying tails? I had a 120bpm loop - should be in intervals of 2 seconds, but it ran longer to allow a cymbal to die off. Can you turn that off within iMPC or do you just need an external option, like AudioShare?
This is what Dan said:
"I saw a comment about silence at the end of AudioCopied loops from Tabletop. We do this to preserve the reverb tail or ending crashes. Also abruptly ending on a loop boundary doesn't loop quite right either. You can now use AudioCopy to trim this off. We have been planning a much nicer solution that should be coming later this year or early next year I hope."
