@Telefunky now that stem support was added workflow options definitely opened up.
Essentials was a drag. Why DAW what for decades didn’t need DAWing. I like the iOS thing that’s grown out of Retronyms collab with Akai.
I get why a $ 2000+ piece of gear might be a bit more feature rich than a $30 app + a $600 of less iPad
I get why people get grumpy about Retronyms but Ive always had luck contacting them and they did me a solid when the autotune module in Tabletop was removed- and they’ve implemented a few features I had been pestering them about since Tabletop. Including stem export. I like the them, and their stuff. I can be AB forum atypical, so there’s that. Neuro-atypical too as it happens
Yes, agreed. That‘s why I sticked with a very early version (1.2) and avoided all DAW-like features, in particular synth and fx plugins.
This (more or less) resembled an MPC2K xl, but with content in a desktop file system... not a bad idea.
The PC/Mac screen is useful for sample editing and of course for file/sound management.
Essentials let the use decide about the mode of operation: button/display on device or mouse/keyboard/screen. Which included switching between modes on the fly.
Imho the initial idea wasn‘t as ill born as current versions of MPC Software 2.x may suggest.
But at some point in time Akai seems to have focussed totally on cash, ignoring more or less any technical flaws of the base system.
Now it‘s all about selling new hardware and extensions, bug fixes take ages (if at all), improvements in workflow seems even slower...
(my subjective conclusions from reading MPC forums)
That doesn‘t render current MPCs useless, obviously the opposite is the case.
But usage of these machines has shifted tremendously in recent years.
The MPC X SE layout has changed everything for me. If I could only pick one device …it’s definitely my choice.
Even though the entire new MPC line up uses the exact same software…the X is a TACTILE workflow monster. I like to connect to my instruments and tapping a screen doesn’t provide anything close.
it’s a dream of mine to get more tactile!
The closest i get at this point (price point) it’s the Akai Element controller, nice pads (w/colored lights!) fully mapped to the iMPC Pro 2. splits the workflow with the glass (glass sample edition, some playable effects filter, tape stop)
But yeah…not the monster
@Littlewoodg : The element looks a little basic to me . I guess I could probably control impc from a Nivation Launchpad .. I’d just have to do some midi mapping I reckon
you might be surprised. the Element is an actual Akai MPC midi controller with the fullon pressure/velocity sensitive pads, note repeat, program change, 16 level, swing and tap tempo etc. The pads have a nice real deal feel, with the pretty lights as noted…if you've zeroed in on MPC style production with the ipad Element is fully fledged midi hardware for that workflow….you can probably i like mine
@Littlewoodg :Yeah and it’s not expensive : Man, I’m really liking this Tabletop/Impc system.
