I bought it. Great sounds and UI but unfortunately no step recording.
@ElGregoLoco I have sympathy for all you say (it's your opinion!), but would argue about the 'less intuitive'. Again opinions. Or feelings. Or actual work done. As I've noted already -for me- iMPC when revisited has many beautiful looking aspects, but it's not in the same country when it comes to intuitiveness (for me).
I suspect that this is all a matter of personal approach. Might even be connected to sophistication of thought or understanding. I might have my limits or ability to concentrate or remember challenged too much, but the acid test these days (for me) is 'what are you getting done' and this week at least this is an app I can point at things its lacks, but I can also point at things I've made, and this last pile is the only measure that matters to me now.

Confirmation Bias may be a factor.....i have both and after doing some testing BH seems to be a lot simpler in its approach and gets similar results in the process....
I am a fan of both and would love to see em further developed/refined....
Ok guys... that's cool. So I guess, it's really a question of feelings and workflow... Anyway, My advice may not be really accurate considering that I alrready tested and deleted noth impc and bh from my ipad because I'm too much in love with Gadget ;-).
Peace
It would be nice to have a midi implementation chart for the app. The pads respond to multiple midi notes and for some reason, not quite sure how rolls work as some pads will other pads don't via my nanoPad. The same goes for using the XY pad on the nanoPad you can control pitch/modulation on some samples/pads and not others.
I think the biggest advantage iMPC Pro has over Beathawk is having multiple banks of pads. You can get around this by exporting patterns or songs to a DAW to get multiple tracks. The advantages Beathawk has over IMPC Pro are being able to play samples via the full range of midi notes and Audiobus support.
I do think there is a Retronyms bias, and deservedly so! Let's not forget iMPC was out a year and a half before "Pro." Also, no Audiobus support...and a half-baked IAA implementation...and a poor MIDI implentation...and you couldn't delete your samples...and the RAM meter bug...and it lost your slice/loop/chop markers...and features hyped in their promo videos didn't make it in the app...and...
Bring it and we'll sing it, hump it and we we'll dump it (as my old mum always used to say...)
What @telecharge said. There were actual bugs on launch. Plus, it cost three times as much and came with the "MPC" name which set some expectations.
true and I was singing the bug song to retronyms like a bird and finally they fixed all of those things, the IAA couldn't be more intuitive imho on the impc pro now, they broke ground with their innovative piano roll, and mixer automation snapshots no other beat machine has those… and I would say that the sample slicing and editing is far more of a bigger difference to beathawks lack there of than say paulinko's choice of 'multiple banks of pads' but that's the cool thing about iOS beatmachines now… they are pretty much apples and oranges, greco likes gadget which is cool but totally different than any of the others so we have allot of choices now with is a good thing. and they are so different that they all have core variables that really differentiate them from one another…
you can't get the daw experience from any of them like beatmaker,
you can't get the beatmachine experience from any of them like the impc pro,
the gadget vibe belongs to gadget alone,
beat machines old school mixed with innovative features and $1.99 bang for the buck is not located anywhere else.
and beathawk is different from them all, if anything probably closest to imaschine where they'll probably battle it out for sample pack supremacy lol and of course we all know about the retronyms bias we're adults we can admit it… the great thing is that there is something for everyone.
has anybody figured out yet if beathawk is making copies of the user samples when loaded or just placing markers and taking up no more space?
Two things about this app make me chuckle, the first just thinking of that promo vid, totally surreal and secondly the inclusion of the superb choir bank, as an IAP, for a beat making app not exactly the standard fodder, but whoa either the work of genius or madness?
@kobamoto Not surprised to see you defending your girl's honour, but the question was about criticism when first released.
Regarding copies of user samples, yes, anything that is imported (or exported) goes in the BeatHawk File Sharing folder.
I too laughed when I saw the promo and thought, no way am I getting this one. Then I watched Doug's video and boom just like magic it is now on my Ipad along with the funk pack that is downloading now. This is so much more fun than IMPC pro. Can I sample from line in or not though. That was never fixed on IMPC and it would sure be nice on here. The sample removal thing definitely needs work or this will have to go bye bye if it gets to big which I could see happening quite easily/
yes you can sample, you'll just do most of your editing elsewhere if you want to do anything other than a basic trim.
I find as I get older I rarely hanker for more than the basic trim...

the answer was about criticism that I made when it was first released, that got the sample delete and file naming issues fixed…. of course that was back when retronyms actually talked to me. anyways unlike some, I'll use them all.

I wish it was destructive, I'm sure we'll see it in the future

Maybe it's a slang word from my London youth, but I think we may be referring to different types of trim....either way, I do hope we'll see it in the future.

lol : ) lets hope so.

now there is something that they needed to keep dev, Karma (the red beauty)
makes you wonder what bm3 will be like, the anticipation will be immense!
cause intua never does anything lightweight.
Naw, I don't want the original Karma. My M50 with Karma is way better, with eight scenes vs two and a larger sample set. Now the Korg Kronos would be the ultimate beast and if I could afford one, my Ipad would see one hell of a lot less use for some time to come.
the original was almost perfect though, the moss board, great expandability etc…, I wasn't to into korg until the karma got a soft spot for it i guess
Destructive trim?
(@jgy I learned it from Eddie Murphy. )
I would love to expand the trim options....I like to use trim in various different ways...especially to split and shuffle my parts...

Ah ok, thanks for the confirmation. Not jail broken so I'll have to work some funky sax into my doom-laden electronica.
I'll have a think about this one - the 'vs iMPC Pro' arguement is academic as it crashes on my iPad and still no sign of a fix, so an alternative similar app would be welcome.
I did find I could delete my own samples however and that is music to my ears.
It is by no means a be all and end all, no holy grail, especially with their business model which slants towards selling packs (understandable, that's their business), but now my enthusiasm has settled towards normalcy, this is something that will def. find its place in the rotation. Not a starting pitcher, but a very solid reliever who will earn their place on the staff moving forward.
