And honestly just want the mpc hardware ported over with all my inmusic/air plugins plus any iPad/iOS plugins. Extremely doable for Akai I feel so not sure why we are continuing to sell what feels like an app from 2012 or something. ### 1/5 — Dead horse *2026-08-08, version 2.2.2* Heading to Garbage Once having faith for improvement it’s apparent the app and development hasn’t any potential for excel.. Akai Professional has seemingly dis associated from retronyms. As a former beta tester experiencing the inability to sustain adequate operation of this software was discouraging …..Inexperienced tech support , unbelievable consistency of crashes , deletion of programs with a list of additional dysfunctions deterring any of serious producers to rely on …. Retronyms has abandoned a few of their own releases IMPC pro 2 Wouldn’t be any of surprise….. The app once considered a potential stable in the iOS music production world exemplifies the declines of anything failing to be properly maintain….slew of bugs and only one technician whom introduces more malfunctions than appointed to solving …. IMPC pro 2 is not even mentioned at the table of software production…. Poor coding and C- grade integration…. Was once a good app before quality abandonment…… Akai has apparently kick retronyms to the curve…. Unless change it’ll be gone with the wind…… ### 1/5 — Worst app to make beats *2026-04-27, version 2.2.2* This app is not user friendly at all… on top of that I have found the sound library that they offer quite expensive in comparison to the competition. It’s use along with AudioCopy which is also very buggy and sometimes crashes. I was expecting way better from a developer who is using the AKAI name and brand. ### 1/5 — Glad I have other options *2026-04-06, version 2.2.2* On the surface, this software has a lot of desirable specs. And it seems like it would be a producers dream. However, the issues become glaring once you start working. Sample digging alone has become an impassable issue. I have a 13” iPad Pro with plenty of power and storage. But this thing is literally freezing up when I’m going through my sample library to start creating. As a sample based producer, this is everything, and I figured AKAI of all would understand. This software becomes unusable from the jump. Save your money and use something like koala. ### 5/5 — Better then the MPC Sample *2026-03-25, version 2.2.2* I own a lot of Akai products MPC’s and controllers, but my iPad, I use more then anything it’s portable touchscreen and has a lot of storage. This app vs mpc sample portable hardware does so much more. ### 3/5 — Super fun but crashes all of the time *2026-03-13, version 2.2.1* Love this app and would consider getting rid of some hardware I have because of it, except it crashes all of the time. ### 5/5 — Dope App !! *2026-03-12, version 2.2.1* This app has gotten so much better. Very easy to learn and it gets the job done ! I just have 1 request though, will there be a stem separation feature coming down the pipeline any time soon ? That is becoming the norm with sampling based music apps. Koala has there’s and it’s pretty decent. Also there is a bug where the turntable platter’s gui acts weird and displays wrong. Could this be fixed soon ? ### 5/5 — Best Mpc since mpc 2000xl released over 3 decades give or tape…lol *2026-02-28, version 2.2.1* Sounds sounds very amazing sounds evens great zounds try it out I’m still learning this multitasking device only 40% learned still 60 % to master ### 4/5 — Must Have *2026-02-01, version 2.2.1* Currently dealing with more crashing bugs. Seems like the app gets a problem, then eventually that gets solved until there’s another problem. Currently it’s crashing on me when I try to open any project, which is a common bug. But that’s what the trade off is I suppose. It’s well worth the inconvenience and every time I do a hard reinstall of the app and have to reload all of my sounds I see it as an opportunity to do something new and maybe different. ### 5/5 — Grand Mix Master Dj King Slice *2025-12-31, version 2.2.1* Awesome @grandmixmasterdjkingslice ## Frequently asked questions about iMPC Pro 2 ### What can I do with iMPC Pro 2? iMPC Pro 2 allows you to create songs with a powerful sampler and beatmaker, add vocal tracks, integrate Audio Units instruments, and manipulate audio clips in real-time.
