So Retronyms had this contest /vote type thing for what the next features of the IMPC Pro would be?

    I would like to see some kind of time stretch tool in iMPC Pro. Current state is this is just a regular sampling app with pads and MPC logo on it. There is a velocity bug. I hit a pad (launchkey mini) with 1/8 note repeat and changing it to 1/32 or anything else kicks the velocity back to 127 value.

    Also, please provide hardware support for launchpad mini and launchkey mini.

  • that doesn't happen with the mpc element controller, unfortunately that thing was too heavy so I took it back, still looking forward to getting a quneo for this but anyways I mention it because it might help narrow down the velocity bug,

    There is something special we have been working on for quite some time. More on that next week (I hope).

    Audiobus support?

    ^ Wasn't that posted before they announced Digits? If so, I would think he was alluding to Digits...

    Oh right. That explains the lack of updates for iMPC Pro, or 'abandon-ware' as someone else called it.

    They're not really doing themselves any favors. I wish instead of making all of those videos this summer they had invested that time in making the application the best it could be and implementing useful features.

    Fool me once...

    The lack of investment in their existing products makes me less inclined to invest my own time in using them, I don't want to waste time building tracks in a product that's going to be abandoned while they roll out their next new thing. Like you say, fool me once...

  • They could learn a lot about timeline editing from the free Auxy app that just came out.

  • Summer of awesome would have been more so for me if it was "summer of making our existing products rock solid and with the obvious feature requests that have been asked for multiple times." Productive and usable (PRO!) vs. shiny and new (AMATEUR).

  • nyahh, auxys timeline editing is like gadgets, impc pro's timeline editor smokes it in large moves and detailed gestures!

    No, it was the 'Wej'. The Wej is being marketed as the 'ideal companion' to iMPC Pro.

  • edited October 2014

    well, they do software for quite a while and I don't like the quality of that. Now they want to make hardware with bling bling disco lights, lol.
    So they are trying to do something they know less about, lol, good luck with that. I don't buy anything retronyms anymore.

    To me its obvious they do not use their own stuff, exept for making bling bling videos, they have no idea what is important.
    Good luck with the next bling bling thing, I will stay here sitting on my tree and keep laughing.
    just have a look at what they did with the iprophet, lol, there is no indication where you are with the envelope in the soundfield, they have no idea what they are doing or what musicians want.

    Does the desktop ProphetVS give you an indication?

    I don't want to stand up for Retronyms because I don't know them but probably worthwhile to remember that they're hired guns subject to someone else's budget and priorities on a lot of these projects.

    That said, I wouldn't buy the wej until the second or third iteration.

  • no there isn't, but if you have no idea how to improve the software you are just a coding monkey;
    it only took me me 3 minutes to came up with that while watching their 3 minute bling bling video. besides that concept isn't unknown on the ipad - have a look at animoog for example ;)

  • edited October 2014

    I know exactly who I invest money and time in and its never retronyms.
    Im doing music for years on ipads, can't fool me.

    No it is a promise:

    "Take your iMPC game a step up, literally."

    "Wej raises your iMPC off the table with a performance-optimized pedestal. Plus, it’s a wireless bridge for MPC Element and any other USB MIDI controllers."

  • edited October 2014

    wej won't happen. ;)

    9 days to go and they haven't got 40% yet.

  • Ugh. Just seeing the word 'Retronyms' bums me out. In every genre there seems to be one laughing stock. Must be frustrating for them to come so close to doing it right on so many things but fall short every time.

  • edited October 2014

    . o O (Drop it, Will. Just drop it.)

    There's not a single Retronyms app I own that I didn't wish had some feature(s) or did something differently.

    Thing is, there's not a single app on my iPad that I didn't wish had some feature(s) or did something differently.

    Retronyms make feature rich apps that offer a lot of value for relatively little cash. We're all allowed to not buy them, right? The constant retronyms punching bag is just... meh.

  • edited October 2014

    lol, thats what you get for not listening to your customers/ the market

    look at what the one or two man shows are doing on the ipad

    apesoft and beepstreet kick ass, retronyms dont.

    the summer of bling bling is over, Cave Idus Martias (Beware the Ides of March).

  • True we wanted the IMPC should have certainly had audiobus support! also it should have had old school filter to emulate the akai mpc 60,and mpc 3000, and E-MU sp 1200, samplers! Really with audiobus alone it would have been deadly! Oh well lets see what the next intua beatmaker update will look like!

  • IMPC Pro can be used 'now' with great sound quality and a really smooth, simple and effective workflow once you get used to it....a finisher app of sorts....has most things you need and does them well...

    The only other thing at the moment with similar qualities is Gadget...oh and not forgetting NanoStudio......

    The whole Audiobus Multi Route dream via Cubasis etc etc is currently a bit of a nightmare...for me at least....it really needs baking into the iOS for me...

    I have some hope for Auria with its plug in Eco system when midi finally drops though...

  • I haven't spent enough time with iMPC PRO to give opinions on it but iMini is one of the best sounding synths for bass sounds on iOS, iProphet is an amazingly sounding piece of history synth and Tabletop is one of my all time favourite apps. Keep up the good work R
    etronyms.

  • Yep Retronyms are sick app makers, I'm so happy they made impc pro and I marvel at what I can do with it simply put, there is no other beat machine on iOS that can compare!!!! The other beatmachines don't have the flow,fluidity, or synchronicity that comes even remotely close to the impc pro and Retronyms have outdone themselves by creating such a wonderful app.

    This is why the current state of the app bothers me to no end, because they are obviously overly capable of creating an app with sicktastic workflow, so why then are there these tiny but significant omissions and detours?

    1. Core audio issue

    2. Audio export bug (from orig impc)

    3. No midi sequencing of other iOS apps outside of tabletop

    4. No file compatibility with other mpcs as promised (a feature in the orig impc, simply lost)

    5. No individual track export

    6. No loop button in sample editor

    7. The 2 bar sequence minimum (to be fair Dan addressed it by saying he would look into it)

    8. No midi learn so that you can't control the mixer and fx / fluxing from an external controller

    9. Audiobus

    As you can see, the majority of these things are minute, or things you would expect to be present. They won't even address the core audio issues at least not that I have seen, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Now they've said they have allot of plans for the impc pro and hinted at some cool features such as timestretch etc... And I hope they do continue to develop the app but the issues listed above should be addressed pronto and with priority. Everybody would have this app, and everybody would get their new synth, and everybody would be willing to give their wej some support if they addressed the impc pro issues!

  • I just got rid of impc pro because it is so bad, will beatmaker 2 sample from line in as any sampler should?

  • @Tritonman2 said:

    Yes, and BM2 works nicely with external USB-Audio devices too...
    I'm using BM2 with my Behringer UCA-202 hooked to my TV's Line-Out and having a blast :D

    BM2 has it's fair share of issues too (like no handles when trimming the sample making it very easy to loose the selection). But for now if live sampling is priority it's hard to beat Beatmaker 2...(Guess that's why everyone is waiting for Beatmaker 3 too).

  • I'm def waiting to see what happens with beatmaker 3, beatmaker 2 is a hot mess, it has every feature under the sun with a workflow level of about 1, you can't go in the direction of a beat machine and the direction of a linear daw at the same time and make the workflow make sense, if you like the workflow of the impc pro then it makes sense to just use something like audio share to sample with etc… and then use the impc for song writing, the workflow is just lightyears ahead of the competition.
    which is why the prospect of beatmaker 3 is so exciting cause anyone coming out with a beat machine app now has to contend with the workflow of the impc, if they can top that I don't care what they charge.

  • @syrupcore Releasing apps with limited features ≠ releasing apps that have fundamental problems. Such as midi never working correctly since day 1 on iMini, then ignoring the problem and even continuing to offer more apps without bothering to fix the ones they already have. And guess what? iProphet has broken midi now, too! If they bothered to fix imini in the first place then we might have two great synths instead of two with bugs. Fool me once. I'm done with retronyms.
