  • Useful and fun in so many ways

    With impc I was able to show my son, he is 9 and has developed an interest in making music, how you can sample various instruments and create kits that can be used to make beats. It was a really cool experience and impc made it really easy to demonstrate the process for him. I was going to rate this four stars just for the fact that I couldn't figure out how to delete my unwanted samples. After emailing the retronyms team they showed me how to do it and it's not difficult, it could be easier but it's not too bad. I'm glad I bought this app. It's fun, functions well, and the fact that it helped me teach my kid something to keep him interested in music is just awesome.

  • OVerall decent app

    A thoughtful app with design quirks that actually make a lot of sense from a performance standpoint. (Check out the genius of the beat repeat switch). Over all as a whole through design the app has shown it's true nature as an innovation. It sounds good too especially once you mess with the compressor

    What I would like to see:

    Ability to choose the amount of pads: (the mpc 500 had 12 pads so I don't think 16 needs to be a lock in exchange for performance comfort)

    An option to turn off the recording click

    If individual pad pitch could be changed for right from 16 levels function instead of needing to reload samples and repitch them

    An undo function on all effects

    A tray that slides down from the top that takes you directly to the pads (maybe to make menu dives easier by giving a quick way straight to the performance spot

    I'm thoroughly surprised by this app and excited to watch it evolve the range of it's workflow

  • Crashes figured out!!

    Ok first of ... this is a fun app but it is limited. But for the price... I am happy. This app never crashed on me (owned 2years) until I recently tried to upload a beat to sound cloud. Now it crashes unless I turn off all internet activity ... cellphone data or wifi. Maybe the developers will read this and check into it.
    I do sound production for SunSlice records and this a fun bus stop or restaurant pass time. I have made some interesting beats by digging into the self sampling and delays. It not the most intuitive but neither is the MPCs it's mimicking. I think anybody expecting something more for $3 may be busting the developers balls a bit here. They give you plenty for what it is. I do like. I own the iPad version too which is more robust. But if you dig a bit ... you can make some pretty decent beats with this app.
    Sincerely

  • Wish this worked for IOS 7.2

    Every time I opened the app it crashed on me.
  • Best $3 I've ever spent

    I own an mpc 2000xl and the production feel of this app is familiar but different. The turntable mode is cool. This app is not a fully featured DAW but if you are sitting at a bus stop or waiting for some tacos this will absolutely keep you entertained. This app is versatile enough I could see myself plugging my phone into my dj rig. If you are serious about your production you will spend more than a few bucks on an app and think you're the next amp live but for what it does impc is totally worth it.

  • poor service

    i have no way of knowing how to paste sounds into the app from audio copy.. this app wont show up in audio copy app and there is no instructions i can find and the web link here is dead .. pretty poor service
  • Fun but VERY buggy

    So many bugs and glitches, especially when switching between pages or menus. Still a fun app and enjoyable when it works. This app definitely deserves more love from the developers, but I doubt we will see any more updates for it. Too bad since it has great potential to be a good MPC on the iPhone. Keeping my hopes up though :) I will still mess around with it until I get fed up from all the bugs...
    I'm glad i also have the IMPC Pro on my iPad which recently got updated and became lot more stable. Hopefully a pro version will make it to the iPhone with less bugs than this one.

  • A little buggy but awesomely powerful

    This app is fantastic, it may have a few bugs but once you know what they are they're easy enough to work around.

    I've put together about 15 tracks with this app involved and I must say it holds up pretty well against real gear.
  • I really really wish they put a note pad sequence

    I make a beat.. It's dope.. But then I have to leave the app (which causes the music to stop) because I want to write to it in the notepad.. Or find the paper That I was writing on to continue which I don't really want to do.. Throws me off from writing to the beat initially.. If there was a notepad assigned to every sequence.. That would be so dope.. I wouldn't have to figure where my raps are because I specifically wrote to that sequence.. I don't know about making apps but I figure that would be too tough to add in there
