i asked akai on their Facebook page many times what's up with this app and they acted interested and then just directed me to retronyms....is akai still selling mpc 500's and 1000's new? I thought they didn't anymore, if they still do I can see they wouldn't want you to go this route and spend less money as the impc pro can already do some impressive things that the 500 and 1000 cannot but either way it's not cool and they clearly don't want your iPad to communicate with your other mpcs
@kobamoto ever mess with JJOS?
i have it
Retronyms makes Tabletop which is their own walled garden/closed ecosystem.
This new Slice Loop feature is potentially the most interesting development for iMPC Pro for me BUT... it seems to only apply the slices to the same pad as far as I can tell as opposed to how it's done in the Chop To Pads feature. I hope that you can still sequence the slices using this new Slice Loop feature instead of only being used to realtime timestretch and just playing the loop in the original order. Can't tell from the video because that's all they show and nothing about being able to sequence those slices. It would be a huge trick missed if not.
good question
I'm interested in the Auria update for sure but without midi triggering of the slices or warp markers I'm in no rush. maybe it's on their roadmap but I haven't heard anything regarding this.
We can only hope the 'chop & slice' go hand in hand meaning once the slices are in place (and saved to the file) they will stay put when switching between chop and slice modes making it easy to 'pre-cook' loops where all the slices are in place making it quick and easy to either use 'tempo-match' or 'chop to pads'.
For me i can see me using this feature if it works properly, meaning i sample a loop, slice it and save it and then when i need the loop again the slice-points are already set and i can quickly use either 'tempo-sync' or 'chop to pads' without need to manually edit the chop-points again...
Optimal would be to drag just selected slices to pads as i don't like the way 'chop to pads' always starts at pad one and deletes slots that already contain samples...
It's really confusing that they didn't show whether the new Slice Loop feature allows for the slices to be sequenced or not. What would be the point of slicing if all they wanted to do was implement realtime timestretch? That wouldn't make any sense. And if they can't be sequenced then it would be a huge opportunity lost to be able to implement the one holy grail slicing feature that still can't be found on any MPC (hardware or software), desktop Maschine or Ableton Live.
I think it looks like chop to phrase functionality, so essentially the phrase should sync to any tempo if you've chopped it correctly. If it case then it's likely you would save that sample as a phrase sample and if you wanted a chopped version you'd have to save that seperatley.
Ab answer: @retronyms: @Goozoon This is on our suggestion list however its not something we have plans for right now.
For the record, I am considering cutting my nose off to frighten my face, but it's not something I have plans for right now.
I just wish Retronyms would put their iMPC Pro 'todo-list' on the web so we could actually see what is planned for the next version.
We've collectively gathered enough feature suggestions here in the forums in the various threads on what it would take to make a truly awesome 'sampler' for iOS but as usual i feel it's the 'Not Invented Here' syndrome that keeps the developers from implementing them. (Those developers with open eyes have enough information here to keep them going for ages).
Who knows, maybe the future version of 'Loopy' will be the ultimate sampler that we've all been waiting for
Good one. That would really help. You can do that now but you have to do one at a time. If the slices are saved with the file, picking and choosing should be much easier.
The 500 and 1000 have been discontinued. I have the MPC Studio. One of the selling points and features of the original iMPC app. was the ability to transfer projects, samples and kits to the desktop app. (http://www.akaipro.com/kb/article/1458). When Retronyms released iMPC Pro that feature was missing. Their explanation was that they didn't want to delay the release any longer so it was released without that feature. They said that they would work to add it soon after the release (June 2014) but still have not nearly a year later.
If you're referring to the "Patched Phrase" feature found on some MPCs (The MPC "Patched Phrase" feature doesn't let you sequence or otherwise change the order of the slices. It's only purpose is to allow timestretching and pitchshifting a loop without changing its length) and if this new "Slice Loop" feature is basically the same thing as that, which it does look to be the case, then Retronyms really missed a huge opportunity to do something really big here.
