It's to avoid triggering a sound if you just want to select it and change parameters...
Man, I totally forgot about the retraction thing.Downloading now....
can someone confirm exactly how the time stretching works, in their time stretching video are the samples already stretched to fit, and the time stretch is just global off of the tempo button???
or can you put samples of different tempos in and they sync automagically like ableton?
thanks korakios
Gonna have to sell a lot of those IAPs to pay for that over produced content free promo video they have. Only thing I got from the commercial was that it apparently supports bluetooth headphones. Pretty much void of any feature showcase.
And....I bought it.
Ah you who walk lightly in the tired footsteps that we so ignorantly trudged through...(having fun with the thing however...
Bought it after watching all of the videos. Lot of nice features for 5 bucks (like stem export!) but 800MB is silly/greedy pants.
So where is the grid editor so I can correct my awful timing?
Yeah, s'funny how sometimes the finance of space begins to override the actual coppers it takes to buy the thing...wondering about funboxing some of that out mebbe.
@boone51 use the Q wisely young Skywalker....
So it's one take or you redo? That can't be right. It's gotta be in here somewhere. Imma find it.
Found it... it's tucked away inside Beatmaker 2.

Haha. Yeah, I'm not liking a lot of what I'm hearing here. Still not clear how much actual content you get for the $5, versus how much of it is IAP unlock. Hard to complain about the price, and it's a nice looking app. Just a lot of bloat.
BM2 is actually a DAW that records audio tracks and is pretty damn cool. They just made a lot of similarly frustrating design choices about file management, interface, etc. in that one too.
I hear you Mister Boone....but from here BM2 feels like a lame duck ("When's BM3 coming out?") and I don't think of this current object as a DAW either. I'm enjoying slicing stuff out of here into Samplr thru Flux and into Auria. However I also like drinking my tea in the shower...
The bloat on the other hand I agree with...it's weird aint it? If the object came in it 25MBs it would feel like something from the Beatwave family (but different) as it is there is a monstrous shadow of megabytage in the room.
Totally a lame duck, absolutely agree. When the leak about BM3 dropped I think I deleted BM2 that day (for the 36th time, only 2nd time that day though). And I still haven't dug into this app that carries your former moniker enough, but I do like playing around with it. But the quantize function, while a nice set of training wheels, still can't fix my horrific sense of rhythm, and I like to be able to correct that quickly. Guess "undo" would qualify as quickly.
And just for the record, Bluetooth headphones this app does not support. Not a shock, but go watch that promo video again...

Next you're gonna tell me Mr. Beatz didn't work on the song while sitting on the beach and walking around town.
Like I mentioned, the vid was short on content. I tried, and failed, to get one meaningful piece of information out of it. I blame myself. I know that there are millions of young ipad music makers out there that this (edit) inspirational video really spoke to. I hate being old.
downloading it now myself. based on what kobamoto said about the sample editing features, i was about to pass but ive had a boner for this app for a year that i figured id skip a big mac and fries to pay for this.
to dev, please consider making this universal for iphones as well. me and many of my friends often take trains, subways, buses, so ability to rock it on a phone is a great feature.
edit: okay, so i cant find the audiopaste button. it is kinda lme that you cant import directl from music library so i tried going the audioshare music library import way, audio copy from there but cant stick the song into beathawk. i do like how you can control the start and end points of sample easily next to the pads but its still got a ways to go. likes others hsve mentioned, i get how yo want to generate revenue from the sound pack but dont skimp on bare essentials. your app will appeal to a lot of mpc folk and the lack of ease of getting ssmples into the app will just make this a one day toy, not a serious tool (for me at least) like some of the other well known apps such as bm2. kudos on the 24 bit export though!
@gjcyrus To paste, tap the "hamburger" (3 stacked horizontal lines) twice. You can also paste by tapping with 2 fingers simultaneously on an existing slot in User Library.
@kobamoto you can resample from Beathawk by exporting a song and loading the resultant file from your user library onto a pad all within the app.
You can also rename, copy, paste, or delete a sample by using two finger touch on a sample in your library.
I did mess around with it and I liked the fast workflow. It's great for making on the fly grooves ,even a song. Some luck of recording filters/fx automation help on focusing to the beat so I don't miss it (much). Also there is no way to record straight from another app on AB/IAA...but it has the classic copy/paste (no need to have audiocopy), so no problem. The loading for samples is instant and you change samples without leaving the main screen. If you want to change the sample to something completely different the sample browser is well organised and IMO unique design overall.
What I found missing was the audio slicing feature. When I watched the videos (not the intro lol) ,I saw that you could take a sample and play it sliced with the keyboard. That really hit me and I hit the buy button...I can load drum loops and play them sliced ,but unless I'm wrong ,they are pre-sliced rex/acid files... I can't find a way to import MY samples as loops and play the slices with the keyboard.
Speaking of users samples there is the user library. When first looked at it I was thinking this app would take most of my samples cause I can organise them on category and groups...wrong. Using iFunbox I realized you can't make visible folders (not possible also from the app). So if I throw 2000 samples it would be a mess...
BTW I couldn't find the factory library inside ifunbox ,so can't understand where most of the 800mb are located...
Watch the ext midi control tutorial.. Impressive stuff
$5? Yes please.
It looks very well featured after watching all the tutorial videos, looks like it will fit my workflow a lot better than impc (and I'm coming from a hardware Mpc background)
Be interesting to see in, say, three months if this has found a place for folks. My guess is that it will be useful for when it is for a few of us. Fair enough.
I did go back to iMPC tonight (again
and there's nor arguing that it does some lovely things, but I am an eternal rookie and it feels as though if I were to make a wife out of it we could live well enough together, but I am a flirt, flitting here and there, especially when it comes to apps that I can make play my sort of stuff (whatever that is) but are not really designed for that purpose. Or for me.
Also went back to Gadget and Salzburg and played it through a lush setting on Flux and broke my own heart a little without need of a drum beat and I found it all somewhat reassuring.

Have they added a keyboard mode to impc pro yet, or improved the sample tuning in the seq for melodic content? I haven't reinstalled it for a long time
@buska -no keyboard… but 16 levels is identical to the keyboard pitching in beathawk.
not so great
no sample slicing in beathawk (say what?)
realtime time stretch is not really realtime time stretch
one sample bank of pads
no real sample editing to speak of start/end only
fx severely lacking
resampling -work-around I spoke of earlier
no piano roll
the great stuff
songmode
file formats ie even flac.. yay!
audio export options
high quality library (if you're not into sampling)
honorable mentions .. do yourself a favor and look at what you get with beatmachine for $1.99
I really like the kit creator that is a touch of genius (for big sound libraries).
Dont likes, sample editing /slicing, sample importing, only 1 bank of samples and no mixer.
Hopefully the dev will make good the missing features.
Beat machine def does all this better atm, Beatmaker 2, Gadget and IMPC Pro (depending on which way you sway) are def still king of the hill.
I can't get that promo vid out of my head......the part where the singer runs up the steps.......awesome
Can it actually record samples or can you only import audio?
If this app is even one quarter as bad as the promo vid it would not be worth a second look, That was just the worst promo I have perhaps seen for any app to date.
