Leave a Review iMPC
Fun, getting there
Forgot to mention: please add the ability to turn off the cheesy turntable hiss when sampling? Nice for some things, but not for others!
This has potential to be the best audio tool in the all store, the sampler is improving ( thanks for being able to edit samples!) but would benefit from normalise/reverse. Also audiobus support would really help.. The updates look promising and it's been a joy to use so far.. :)Show lessac166
Needs Audiobus
With all the great and popular apps getting Audiobus support iMPC is falling behind. Tabletop is too proprietary and too app specific making it a Tabletop application not a interactive advancement in app connectivity. Loose Tabletop and move to Audiobus and iMPC will be #1. So 4 stars until Audiobus then back to 5 stars. CheersShow lessAnthonyfalves
Update makes it legit!!!
This app was dope when it first dropped. Although it was like a demo version of a MPC500, it still had the classic feel. With the update (adding mute pads, truncating and easier sampling/pad assignment) it's now more like the MPC2000!!! I read some reviews already upset about no audiobus or midi support. Come on, this is an MPC, not logic, protools or fruity loops. For the real beat heads who know MPC styles, this is a lot easier to use on the go or on the fly. 100 times easier to make head noddin sounds then version 1. Throw in downbeat marking on the sample chopping and I'll throw in another star. In no way am I complaining though.Show lessBeatsmith Medore
Nice Update-Almost There
Retronyms is creating awesome apps. They have been very receptive to suggestions and constructive criticism. This update shows that they listen to and value their customers,which is all we can ask for. The sample editing features have move iMPC to a whole new level and beyond notable similar apps such as iMaschine (which doesn't even support audio copy/paste). I am happy with the direction Retronyms has taken. Audiobus capability would take this app. to the top!Show lessCoolDerb
Fine tuning
I love this app, but how and the heck can you fine tune samples to one another when the music and the metronome are not playing. in you next update, please fix this issue. IMPC lets me create hot ish but it's never tuned just right. And after you adjust the tuning Knobs once, they freeze; I have to completly power down to do more adjusting(imagine do that everytime for each sound. lastly can you raise the volume on the metronome; you can hardly her it.Show lessMidgitOne
Great but where is....
This is great for coming up with loops and ideas you wouldn't create using a DAW like Logic as the interface is designed for making grooves not intricate editing and I don't mind that as it keeps it raw! However I would like some of the other features of the MPC like: Pad mute so I can mute individual sounds in a sequence; song mode so I can chain sequences together; resonant filters; a decent reverb; folders for organising my own imported sounds; Audio bus support and a safer way to upgrade that doesn't give me a heart attack that I've lost my best beats!!
Another weird thing is that when I record the loops in to Logic, the tempo is slightly out by 0.3 bpm or so.... Mmmmm
Still, I have to say that this has been the app I keep coming back to as there is definitely something about the sound of it that I love!Show lessBig Euph
Works on My iPad 1
Love this thing. Stable and fast on 1st Gen iPad. I'm surprised. Sequenced three tracks, exported each to iTunes, imported in Ableton Live, and overdubbed from there. Made the heart of the full mix on the iMPC from the comfort of lying down on my couch. Lazy hobbyist's paradise. Would love some affordable in app sound packs. Especially chords and melodic content.
Why all the bad ratings? Haven't read them, but I'm shocked. This thing rocks.
The iMini, on the other hand crashes and stutters on my vintage iPad. Can't use it. The iMPC will get tons of use. Fun! Best seven bucks spent on an app.Show lessMaryRoseL
It does what it is designed to do but ...
it is missing some key (for me at least) options. The one shot is great but I need to be able to stop it. There should be an option for each sample to stop the playing instead of restarting it on a second keypress. There also should be a loop-until-stopped mode. The hold mode is fine, but I would not use it. In a live performance, Ineed to be doing other things that could not be done if I were holding a key down which is why I need the loop and stop options.
In some of our plays, I need to start a background sound (this would be a loop until stopped), bring in some one-shots, cut them off sometimes and not other times. Because it is a live performance (a play, not a gig)I do not know the exact length the background sound needs to be. I need to be able to monitor and adjust the mikes for the actors which is why I cannot afford to devote a finger to holding down a button either for the background or for the one-shots I wish to be able to stop.
If these functions are not available on your hardware version, it would not be an alternative that I could even consider and it does not appear that they are from the descriptions I am able to read on the web.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Show lessOTERRYA
I don't know...
Initially, I really loved this installment using it though my Tabletop app, despite it being simplified. Over time, felt like the simplified version made more sense than the stand alone MPC app itself. Just feels like it needs quite a bit of improvement.
HOWEVER, I still really enjoy this app. It hasn't crashed on me and has a good amount of sounds to use, with the option of putting in my own. It's decent, and from what I've come to learn, it isn't just about the app, but what you can do with it. Don't expect to spend a lot and suddenly become a music making God, get creative a little people. Work with what you got.
End result, it's solid enough to use, but I'm sure it can get much better. Looking forward to the updates.Show lessTimtard
impc review- giftshoppe
Save/export function has bugs , this needs to be sorted out ASAP!
Get caught in the final screen with no way out other then quitting the app ! Not good ....
Effects need a bypass switch ......
An option to record a live session ....
Granted its a new piece of software , but if I can't record anything more then a loop which don't even export properly what good is it to me ?
You got my 7$ akai , now give me what I paid for !
I didn't pay for an unfinished piece of cluttery junk that kind of works but doesn't ....
Updates please .
Great looking interface , awesome functionality ,
With some tweaks and debugging , this has huge potential ,
Maybe you need to pay some industry brains to point u in the right direction ?....
Wish list ....
8 tracks ...
Live mix down function ....
A HOLD button .... Please <----
Arpeggiator .......
Some sample manipulation tools ...
Eg, reverse, pitch/key , Adsr contr0L ..
This app could go next level !
Shame it's not quite there yet..
Cheers wrap sheet !Show lessGifts Tiff !
