Needs more features to compete
I am glad that retro is finally getting around to updating this more regularly. That’s great. You get four sends and they are fixed you have to use the effects they put there not auv3 effects of your choice. It would be especially necessary for vocals and sampling designed sound to pads but you can not do this it is also an integral part of the mpc work flow. Even mpc studio had vst inserts. Have they not seen beatmaker3 or koala sampler? As a stand alone the idea is to be comparably as good better yet excel iOS daws. I would like to see those four slots… host auv3 effects and for the ability to use pads with chord progression or keyboard on auv3’s. I was very sad to find I could not do that with OneShot by kleavgrande to play drums. I have yet to dive in deeper to see what else. If by chance you guys get to adding fx chains make it so you can save and browses them not even Cubasis has that. Logic does but it latency ridden on the audio recording and processing side. Reporting latency can be done I that issue with all but Zenbeats but it can be done BLEASS voices has a button that does it. Crazy. IOS is processing wise comparable to a Mac book it’s not a toy anymore so neither should the software be. I will keep watching the development. I really want to get down with some good software.😎

Subscription for what? Retronyms shouldn’t exist by now!
Akai pro, you must get different iOS developer. Retronyms are bunch of lazy people! Any time they release app it’s left to rot! Not optimised, cumbersome, and in general totally behind ages.
Now updated after years of neglect and they have subscription model? Wtf? I can’t even comprehend how come they are still around and One single guy who made NanoStudio 2 isn’t ( NanoStudio 2 never crashed on me and it can run massive project even on older devices) you should really contact him and we could finally get mpc experience on iPad.
Or just port your desktop/hardware software as iPad are on same architecture and much much more powerful then my live 3. Then I could run some auv3 on my live 3 in controller mode with full implementation so it would feel like using hardware! You know, all those synths u bought for my live can’t really touch any I have at my disposal as auv3 on my iPad. Perhaps Akai pro could allow more developers on board to make better plugins for hardware.
If this review is solely read by Retronyms then don’t bother to reply with you standard copy paste sh… I’m not interested as I know for fact you can’t code stable and useful stuff! In fact AI can do better programming then Retronyms these days :D what a shambles

Dead horse
I can understand why Akai has distance from retronyms even with this latest installment not update because nothing has really changed…more bugs than ever
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 software releases IMPC pro 2
Wouldn’t be any of surprise from reaching the expected standard …..
The app once considered a potential stable in the iOS music production world exemplifies the declines of anything failing to be properly maintained ….support whom introduces more malfunctions than than improvements ….
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……

Almost great
I wish I could get a refund. It’s missing some key functions like editing the length of notes, explode tracks, etc. and it’s buggy when exporting stems. The exported stems playback is slower and pitched down. As a software beta tester I don’t understand how they missed that.
Auv3 crashes in Aum and Loopy pro
Was excited to use it in Loopy pro, but it won’t load, says it needs to communicate with helper app, idk.

Hot - manageable and easy
Not for me
The file system for samples is super outdated when every other app can just pull up ios/ipad “files” app via imports. 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.

Worst app to make beats
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.

Glad I have other options
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.

Better then the MPC Sample
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.
Super fun but crashes all of the time
Love this app and would consider getting rid of some hardware I have because of it, except it crashes all of the time.
Dope App !!
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 ?

Best Mpc since mpc 2000xl released over 3 decades give or tape…lol
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
Must Have
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.

Awesome @grandmixmasterdjkingslice
Crash and export static
It use to be good now it constantly crashes, glitches and when you export it has static in the music. You have to try multiple times and when you think you finally have a clean version of your song there’s a mistake somewhere in the middle or the end it doesn’t work well with auto copy also iMini doesn’t work well and it’s recommended.
