It's fun, I don't use it for vocals as such, just to pitch glitch a variety of input, but it is fun on the vocal samples that iMPC and iMPC pro have...the thing about everything in Tabletop, every parameter and adjustment, is that automation can be recorded for everything - so also with the TPain pitch changes: you can program movement
If we're going to be pedantic, and it seems some of us can't resist it, then I'd point out that my reply wasn't meant to be either, it was the definition I was referring to. I was actually attempting to be light-hearted, it seems I failed.
Unless, as well as correcting my grammar, you can also enlighten me on how I can stop iMPC Pro automatically playing a sequence when trying to record pads into a DAW, (even when I try and disable the option via iMPC Pro) then I might be able to agree. Feel free to add something of use here.
Yeah I think we've got that covered now thanks.

Shhh. The adults are talking now.
@supadom
For me, I'm glad there's no all-in-one solution. There are various apps, various methods to achieve a plethora of sonic possibilities. The only limitations are the imagination.
Weighing in here: some time ago I went all in on Tabletop and really enjoyed feeling out it's universe -- to me it's most like a mini science lab which is yet another lovely branch of the iOS tree.
Using Tabletop is party joy: hooking things up / getting nostalgic about the clunky physical reality of pre-digital music-making in the age of hardware and having as many happy accidents as intended executions ...... and it's also part pain: For some reason it never felt great to use the little tape-recorder to output stems or chunks or whole pieces. The Saving wasn't 100% reliable. And as has been mentioned up the wazoo: no Audiobus which would single handedly change the entire experience of what's already great about Tabletop.
For the price - especially given a sale - I say it's totally worth having: even if not used fully as intended and you come to use it just getting killer parts (beat or top line or (etc etc))
So if you buy the bundle it seems that there is still $11ish worth of devices still to be purchases which brings the total for everything to $26ish. Does that sound about right?A few more bucks and you can get Gadget.
@gmslayton
It depends. Do you make more experimental music? Or more traditional stuff? The synths you purchase for Tabletop are more versatile and most can be used as standalones. Can you say iProphet?
Gadget is more of an all-rounder type of app. You can produce full tracks in it, export stems and midi data, etc. It's more geared towards dance music, facsimiles and track planning, etc. iM1 is bloody amazing and worth it.
Gadget and Tabletop are apples and oranges.
@jwmmakerofmusic
It is very interesting to compare the two...
I was not really comparing the 2 apps just stating some facts that for a few more dollars you can get Gadget instead of going all in on tabletop is all.
That's true. Well, I have both Tabletop and Gadget to cover whatever style I need at a moment's notice. It's usually a question of "what do I wish to accomplish first".
Also, Korg's sale goes on until the end of this month. Tabletop's sale ends this week. Time it right, and you can buy it all. 
Tabletop is more fun, Gadget more reliable. I love both apps.
Now that I've seen KORG and Primal Audio both fixing their shit within a week of finding out I am not sure what to make out of iProphet not loading properly in Tabletop since it was released 8 months ago.
@firejan82
That sucks about iProphet. I'm not having that result, air 2 latest ios
I should explain a little - what I mean by iProphet not loading properly is that when I load up a Tabletop session that I saved previously with iProphet in it, the iProphet preset changes by itself for no reason right after the session is loaded and the iProphet automation that was saved in the session is lost.
I mailed them about this in December, they seemed a little confused by my explanation attempts. Recently someone else mentioned this bug on their Facebook page so I know I'm not the only one experiencing it. I should make a short video and show it to them.
@firejan82
It's worth a try. I've written to Retronyms many times about Tabletop and those bugs have actually all been squashed - the last time within a few days by coincidence - and all but one feature has been implemented (multi stem export). No thanks to me, each time I was one of many people writing them about those things, including earlier issues with iProphet.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll try the iaa effects and see if that keeps me going. I figured Zignal might not be worth it. A workaround i tried way back when I realized iMPC pro couldn't re sample was to use Mastermind to record midi to something with midi through, and then route that midi to an app loaded in iMPC Pro to sample. It then will record on Tabeltop starting. Probably easier to audiopaste however.
If I follow you, you can re sample iMPC Pro (or anything on the table to feed iMPC Pro) by dropping the Recorder M2 on it, or somewhere in its signal chain. The recording ends up inside iMPC Pros onboard My Sounds, inside the folder: iTunes File Sharing
This is one of the reason why I stopped considering Tabletop as a semi serious composition tool. It would often load saved project and play it differently form the original. There used to be a lot of crashes right after the release of IMini too.
Oh sweet. That makes sense, thanks for the tip. I thought if I did that I would still have to use audio copy. Maybe I'll give that a go and see how that works.
@Littlewoodg I just sent them the video. I'm very sceptical about it, but I do love the app so like you said - worth a try.
Cool. They just dropped another update, not necessarily related.
There is another synth-preset weirdness ive noticed, in phase84 and RS 4000, preset changes during playback...I'll write em they always get back
@Littlewoodg That just confirms what @supadom was saying. I thought that was in the past at least for you iPad Air people. Tabletop's a bitch.
Grant Audio Directly Gadget Eats Tabletop
I think Retronyms have a winner on their hands with so many great synths, samplers and effects. If they only updated the the whole UI, maybe to allow more more devices with zoom in and out Reactable-style, improved audio handling (editor) and tweaked the whole thing to be more stable it would possibly be the all in one solution many of us are waiting for.
I know it ain't gonna happen.
I personally think Loopy ME will be the one to eventually take the crown for loop based stuff. At least in my own little loopy universe.
you guys aren't getting samples being copied twice in the app, I hate it when apps duplicate audio and don't say anything about it?
Something that could be said of many of my favorite softwares and other -wares
And animals. And people.
@Littlewoodg Really? I personally can't think of any other app or software that I call my favourite even though it's that bad. Tabletop is quite the exception. It's that good even tough it's that bad.
I self-edited, I had meant to say software and wetware, shout out to Rudy Rucker
You are right, it's some weird math. I love it and it can be so bad...
