Tabletop for Positive User Reviews
✓ Fantastic appI love this app. If your into electronic music download it and buy all the in app purchases (well worth the $$). Great use of an iPad as a serious music making device. Would love to see more types of synths and better presets (Juno, Jupiter, fm,) and for the tone matrix to be able to trigger the synths (or a sequencer module to be provided) as well as having editable sounds, but as is the app is very usable and enjoyable. I'm very interested in trying the app with outboard midi gear, hoping it will rx & tx midi start/stop, sync, notes & cc's. Well done, please keep up the great work..Version: 1.5
✓ Nice app idea, but needs improvementHonestly I think you should stop making more devices and focus on stopping the crashes. I think the interface is beautiful, and I think this app will do well with not only electronic music, but with other types. I'm quite suprised that none of your synthesizers have a patch for just "piano". by the way, I'm wanting to buy reason from propellorheads but it's kind of expensive..Version: 2.2
✓ Great for improvisingThis app is very unique, and definitely recommended for electronic music enthusiasts. It's sandbox approach to composing music is great, and works well in many situations. I have found that it works great for personal composition, and improvising with others. The tone matrix, and mpc are my favorite. The sounds are great, and the interface is inspiring..Version: 1.01
✓ An actual full production studioAmazing app! The best full production studio that's customizable in infinite ways. Fans of Reason on pc/mac will really enjoy it. Add-ons like the iMPC and moog synthesizer are well worth the money. It's gotten me back into electronic music production after years of losing the spark. Can't recommend it enough..Version: 2.6.4
✓ Very goodImpc isn’t on the AppStore anymore but good app otherwise.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Worth every single pence you spend on itI can actually say the number of hours of fun that I spent this app already! I love every single bit of bit! It's amazing. I just think that like Arturia there should be more apps available on tabletop itself! I still have some issues using mastermind and zignal! Apart from that 5 stars all the way :).Version: 2.3.1
✓ Now completeWith the addition of the timeline and the iMPC, the software feels complete. To me, nothing essential is missing now in v2..Version: 2.0
✓ Great workflowSimply the best audio workflow on the iPad. Encourages creative experimentation and makes it easy to construct songs. The table of instruments and effects however do push the iPad to it's limits, so having a whole host of effects and instruments whilst nice in theory isn't practical. This is do to firstly with screen real estate and secondly because the CPU can only handle so many without distorting the audio. You can still do a lot and to me personally as the IPad continues on to 3 and 4 this is the most sensible workflow I have encountered, that can ultimately grow with the iPad itself, although screen real estate may have to be looked into via scrolling at a future point. Easy to import samples into the gridlock via audio copy and paste and so individual sounds can be built as the main back beat. Beat makers pad samples are better for example in terms of percussion options so it is easy to copy them into gridlock on tabletop and use them in a much better workflow than say beat maker itself. Worth the money certainly and recommended..Version: 1.1
✓ One of a kind!This is a must have music app for the iPad. It is the only such app that let's you "hook up" your studio the way you want. This flexibility puts It head and shoulders above the rest. The sounds are very good and it is very simple to learn the user interface. Although this app doesn't give you many tools to tweak your own sounds it does have amazing automation that let's you record most parameter settings. The real power of this app lies in the ability to plug in more modules as they become available..Version: 1.01
✓ Amzing!This is an awesome app and defenatly worth getting. Th only thing is you should make more kits free..Version: 1.4
✓ Love itI'm a reason user on pc, and i been messin around looking for a good mobile platform, this absolutely rules, get the bundle with it. Im using ipad 4 having no stability issues at all. The fx are solid and you can sequence long pieces too. The inter app audio works great from what i've seen..Version: 2.5
✓ Only for serious beat makers.I feel as though I am maybe being slightly ignorant to the compatibility and update negative reviews of recent. But personally I have no problem with this app. I love it! If you want Analogue Machines, Drum Machines, Synths and stuff available in a frankly amazing and unique 'Tabletop' design this is your only choice. I just wish this was available on Mac and maybe cross compatible with Logic or Ableton. As my title suggests it is only for serious beat makers as such it may be a challenge if you are used to GarageBand and don't understand about certain old school production things. I started using this app from about 16 so it's not rocket science it may just take a bit of time. Seriously though some of the results are just wonderful and it is easy to upload straight to Soundcloud. The in app purchases are well done too. Available if you want a bit extra. I recommend it to music students, producers etc. I hope Retronyms don't abandon this app and keep on updating and improving it. 5/5.Version: 2.9
✓ Total RipoffDon't buy this it's a rip off. buy something good like nano studio or beat maker 2 they are loads better. even garage band is better than this and that's only £ 2.99 they want £6.99 for a mixer lol.Version: 1.01
✓ BrilliantAs old as this app is it is still one of the best on ios in my opinion! As i have tried most of the big name apps on ios . And after spending a lot of money buying various apps over a period of 10 years or so. I still was not satisfied with the results i was achieving. Then I decided to give tabletop another go , as when i 1st bought tabletop i did not have a clue how to use it properly. Well what can i say apart from I’m very happy i took another look at this app, its amazing !!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Bravo!An absolutely beautifully written App! This is what quality program writing should be! My thanks to all the developers! Continue doing what you do!.Version: 2.0
✓ Must-have if you think of yourself as iPad Music ProducerFirst off, I'm a heavy and dedicated iPad DAW user, Cubasis (linear) and Korg Gadget (unique workflow). TableTop, which I got first day of it's release, stays one of working horses for my inspiration trigger. Loving the well-thought thru bulk of embedded tool. All sounds and also LOOKS awesome. Perfect integration with compatible apps. Importantly no choking and all solid performance from my fav iMPC, MiniMoog and iProphet. Besides making my music (check SoundCloud - Sam Prock), I'm software programmer, so would naver complain on bugs, which Retronyms not making many and addresses nicely. To be constructive and help the great team grow, I would suggest to look at the way the complete song comes together. The tool power, content and capabilities have overgrown the simplicity of T-101. Triggerator tool revamp is one best area to invest for more usable and better workflow on Tabletop. Five + Stars and keep up great prod Retronyms!.Version: 2.9
✓ Really good but keeps crashing!Great app, but whenever I get anywhere with an interesting track it crashes! Very frustrating. Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon. There are some great units in here but reliability is really my biggest issue at the moment, would be a 5 star app easily if it was not for this problem. Please fix it! Also audio bus support would be cool ;).Version: 2.1
✓ Great, but unreliableOut of all the music making apps / surfaces on iPad, this, for me, wins hands down. A great, creative work surface that really allows you to write songs at demo level, ready to reworked on a more powerful machine. However, it does drop out in a glitchy frenzy a lot which does render it useless. I've worked out a couple of ways around it, but you shouldn't really have to. Tabletop - sort this out and this will truly be a 5 star app. Would be happy to provide user information to help you perfect it..Version: 2.1
✓ Best app out there!I first started with some very generic apps like dj mixer pro with a lot of crashes and updates. A friend of mine said I needed to step up my game and what can I say. This app has it all except for a dj like me I wish it had more features to play live performances but putting together masterpieces is intuitive and fun. I can't wait to see what else the authors have in store and I'm finally excited to be able to collaborate with other musicians. The bundle was only 25 dollars! I started college wanting to be a recording engineer but with limited funds it never seemed possible. Thank you guys for working soo hard and bringing music back into my life. Please though, make the dj set up better so cueing and playing live shows is easier. Peace and love. :).Version: 1.5
✓ Great Product.This is a Loy of fun to play around with. The layout is great and it sounds pretty good too..Version: 1.6
✓ Best Music creation all-in-oneThis has got to be the very best on the app store for making an entire song within an app. Very easy to use and great support!.Version: 1.5
✓ Great app !!Dispite some niggles tabletop is a great app...Beware of the credit card draining add-on's lol, and there are some crash bugs in iMini that have given me a quick save habit...The RS4000 poly synth is a bit scratchy...The boomroom reverb is fantastic but a bit cpu hungry as is iMini...I will still give it 5 stars because I am so into this app btw...Lots of cool free stuff to get you started but you will start buying the add-on's, trust me....Version: 2.1
✓ Very good app except for 2 thingsI love this app to death! However, there are just 2 things in need of repair. 1, the internet connection for purchases. I can’t seem to connect the app to internet no matter how much I try. 2, Using other apps to record and whatnot in this is a little clunky and confusing. I can’t seem to be able to record or transfer anything. Just fix these 2 things and you got a winner!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ So far the best I've heard in virtual analogEverything you need to make old school electronica is here, but it doesn't stop there, the author has contemporary effects and machines to keep your grooves sounding modern synchronized and tight. Samplers, keyboards, sequencers, glitch machines, delays, reverbs and more, all harmoniously synchronized to the beat. I bought the add ins as package and loved it so much, I even bought ALL the latest machines created by he developer, frankly I'm crazy about the sound this package produces. Now for the bad :( from what ive read in reviews, no audiobus, Otherwise perfecto, you have a winner on your hands. As the iPads power and this app develops mobile musicians have a bright future ahead..Version: 2.1
✓ AmazingThis is what I've always wanted in a daw. Sampling, sequencing, Triggerometer (sp?). It's all here. Buy the bundled instrument and fx pack. Best money you will ever spend. And with AudioCopy this thing is killing it for me!!! Creativity and output has gone way up for me..Version: 2.7
✓ Great app but needs CoreMidiVery nice interface, very easy to use, and I like that you can just buy the items you want (although I bought them all anyway!). The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that there's currently no CoreMidi support - but I believe it's in the works. Once that's added, it's a 5 star app. We're really getting spoiled these days aren't we :-).Version: 1.51
✓ Very goodThis app is very unique, easy to use and you can make some sick dubstep with the right mind and creativity..Version: 2.1
✓ High memory,lots of fun stuffI love this app you gotta try it u will be like 😲.Version: 1.5
✓ The table is setI've been with this from day one of release and please keep the updates coming because TableTop just gets better and better. Sounds superb, flexible, a joy to use and brilliant IAP options. iMPC and iMini are fantastic. I'm loving it :-) Update: continued updates, developments and additional devices are making the app a real powerhouse for music-making on the go. So now we have iMPC Pro - simply WOW..Version: 2.5
✓ Wow!I can't believe this app is free! I immediately told my buddies after I started playing with it. There's so much that can be done with this. My brain feels like its spinning. Honestly though I don't know a whole lot about music creation but I will say that with zero knowledge this can be so much fun. I'm honestly learning stuff I I would have never known. This is free so you might as well give it a try. You blow through hours of time just experimenting. The developer has my kudos. I hope they do well with this. I may just make an in app purchase to support this. I should add I've used this app multiple time for hours and it hasn't crashed once. I have no idea why some have complained about that..Version: 1.4
✓ Very cool..Just got impc and running it in here.. A big thanks to the developer, a very cool tool! Hmm what about audiobus down the track a bit? Then it would be absolutely awesome ;-).Version: 2.0
✓ Absolutely BrilliantI’ve been using this brilliant app for about 7yrs, I still have so much fun which comes with creativity of this app. MISS THIS APP AT YOUR PERIL. DOUG & JADE (STUDIO19).Version: 2.9.2
✓ Best App I've UsedThis app is truly amazing! When I first got it, the fact it was only a dollar blew my mind. With that, you get 12 instruments and tools that are easily powerful enough by themselves. Although it takes trial and error at first, it begins getting actually FUN to use. It's not just clicking buttons and making music, it almost becomes a game to mess with. I'm going to be honest, I was hesitant to buy the IAPs, even one, and did avoid it for some time. However, when I did, I was not disappointed. The synthesizer and drum machine are definitely the best the app has to offer. I still mess with combos on there. In general, the app is fun and easy to use, which is a rarity. However, I have two complaints. 1) The workspace seems a bit too limited at times, especially once you get into effects. However, with clever thinking and management, it's tolerable. 2) The IAPs are a bit expensive. 3$ for an effect is slightly overwhelming, no matter how good it is when you have quite a few of them. All in all, this app was more than worth the purchase. Fun, easy, manageable, and powerful with very few drawbacks. Best music app I've touched..Version: 1.3
✓ YesssMy reason for buying an iPad!!.Version: 1.6
✓ Ahhhhhh!!!!!This app is AMAZING and the only reason people say they have Bad sound quality is because you need to lower the volume of the individual device or else it'll sound like static. this app is great but you should really add more free devices.Version: 1.3
✓ Good thus farOther than crashing....table top is considered in my book One of the greatest music apps in the iOS world this far very innovative and brilliant.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Super impressedWas not expecting something this good, really great iPad DAW with a few bits and a general feel that you actually don't get in a desktop DAW. Great UI and great concept. Some bits are a little counter intuitive in terms of interaction, such as for example extending the loop length of a clip you're working on only from a master controller module but overall a great app and free to explore to a certain degree..Version: 2.7
✓ ProducerThis is a very innovative app that has a lot going for it. I have purchased a lot of high dollar equipment and I am completely blown away by the amount of versatility that this app has to offer at such a low price point. I also bought the stand alone IMPC app as well and it a blast to work with. Just the ability to make a DJ rig using tabletop was a real treat for me because there are a lot of DJ apps out there that seem to be limited and have a lot of draw backs. All I had to do was drag in two turntables pick some songs and I had the party started. I also drug in the IMPC emulator and was able to drop in some trill one shots in time to the beat. I highly recommend this app for anyone interested in music and or music production..Version: 2.0
✓ Long RunThis app is sticking around. It's format is a game changer. The updates keep coming and the potential for future development is huge. Where are the third party developers! Keep up the good work Retronyms!.Version: 1.5
✓ Yah...I'm a GUI designer and this app is wonderful.....Version: 1.51
✓ Great app!Hands down the best music app I have come across in months..Version: 1.5
✓ Latest updateUnbelievable! This is an amazing APP that just keeps getting better. A free module magic mic works perfectly with all the effect modules. Don't moan about the cost of the upgrades they are well worth it! Buy the pack with the lot. This is a truly an amazing APP..Version: 1.6
✓ Cooler Than a Cool, Cool Thang On Cool Juice!Yea verily, it doth ROX - Read mah lips suckas! Wanna make some Techno; Trance; Acid jazz grooves or PURE Dance? Looks no furda!! Here 'Tis! Download NOW an' gets JIGGY wit' it, or forever be a square peg in an even squarer hole. Ask me no questions and I'll give you no answers, 'cept ta say that if you don't get this then you're one brick short of a . . . err . . .somethin'! Good Grief!, . . . it's hard to talk like that for very long!! LOOK! this is just one of the very best music Apps out there on iOS, and can very probably make many other types of great music than the ones I listed above. Five stars! YO! ( does anybody actually SAY that any more? ) Replies on the back of a postcard to the usual address thanks!.Version: 2.7
✓ One of the very best thus farWhy whine over three pounds for an app? Even if you buy a reverb and delay, that makes it nine pounds which is still cheaper than Nanostudio and FLmobile. One thing to consider is that this app allows you to tailor a set up according to your needs for each track, in my case, I make ambient/ generative music which means I need a few reverbs and delays to get this effect. No other app does this. As far as the built in sounds go, they are great, you just need to know how to use them. If you want to make hard dance music, go buy a laptop and use ableton. This app is for professionals, not wannabe djs still in school. I have been producing for over fifteen years and am very happy with this app. Sure, there is some audio clipping and the developers are taking care of that. Even some other great apps had some issues, it takes time to identify them by releasing the app and waiting for feedback, beta testing is not infallible. Buy the app for three quid, if you are not happy, you don't have to get the add ons. In any case, apps are so much cheaper than hardware and software. This app has definatly forged a new direction in iOS land, and as a fan of Reason, I am grateful for this app..Version: 1.01
✓ Quite simply....Badass!.Version: 1.51
✓ Cool appI think this is a pretty cool app with loads of potential songs to be created with it, and a direct competitor to an app like Gadget. However, on my old iPad 3, it gets glitchy pretty quick (as does Gadget) so I probably won't be able to get much use out of this until I move up to a new iPad. But if you have the latest or recent model iPad, you definitely need to download this..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Great appThis is a great app,been using it none stop since discovering it, but since the last iPad upgrade it is crashing all the time please sort it out.Version: 2.0
✓ Almost perfectThis app has it all. All the instruments necessary to create music - all on the table. The learning curve is quite low allowing for users to jump right in and begin playing around with sounds. Only one thing stands in the way of it being completely perfect: a non-linear timeline editor. The block sequencer featured helps tremendously allowing for simple arrangements to become a little more complex. The down fall is that it is rather linear. There is no real way to, say, start with the peak of your song than branch out. You more or less have to have the song laid out entirely in your head before you start which hinders the creative and experimental process. Incorporating a nonlinear timeline in it to arrange the loops in whatever way you want would make this the perfect app (and definitely well worth a price bump). To make the editing and arrangement process more visual (waveforms and midinotes and the like) would greatly help!.Version: 2.1
✓ Amazing app!!!I saw the interface and decided to give this app a try, and HOLY BALLS IS IT GOOD. Seriously, it's already incredibly powerful and fun to use, and with the promise of more instruments, sounds, and effects to come, this is the single best music app I own. And I own GarageBand, sound prism, djay, etc, etc. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS APP ENOUGH..Version: 1.01
✓ Amazing potentialThis is exactly what I wanted for the ipad. Really slick app with tons of great built in plugins. Recognized my tabletop ready apps iMPC and iMini right away. Devs, PLEASE get Korg to make all their amazing apps tabletop compatible! My ipad is becoming more fun to produce on then my pc! 4 very solid stars. With some audiobus support and more third part support I can't see a reason to use any other app. Also some export options to make it play nice with pc daws would turn this already amazing app into perfection. Thank you!.Version: 2.1
✓ MPC and MinimoogThis is great app. You must buy IMPC and Imini to make full use of this brilliant app. You need to save on regular basis. You can make quality tracks. You can sample your iPod library and import via audio copy share via soundcloud. This is my favourite beat making app..Version: 2.1
✓ Nice...Great app, not for the feint hearted... Serious fun!.Version: 1.5
✓ Best music app in the app store!This app is amazing...it's pretty much the only music app you need on your ipad...i've gotten more done in this app than i have in any of my other apps combined, and i have a lot of music apps...the ease of use combined with the super simple workflow and all the add ons make this my all time favorite music app...and it's FREE!...and all of the in app purchases i've made have been well worth it...the team at retronyms really know what they're doing...keep up the good work!...(the only suggestion i have for the developers is a way to organize my own sounds into folders so it's not one long list...if there's already a way to do that i haven't figure it out yet).Version: 1.51
✓ Move over NanostudioThis app is amazing. So intuitive. It is exactly what I've been looking for, its just like having the hardware in front of you and all connects the way it would in the real world. I would love to see a Moog synth added and I think the turntable could use some work in regards to sync and scratch. I instantly thought great I can scratch on my tunes, but it's impossible. Take note from apps like Baby DJ. That is very good for scratching. And also the 8 track mixer could do with mute/solo buttons. But you still get 5 stars from me. I also bought all the extras and they're worth every penny. Please continue to add and improve features!.Version: 1.6
✓ Interesting take on iOS dawFirst I would like to say that as long as this app is free, there are no significant complaints. The in app module purchases are there if you feel the need to upgrade, but they are not necessary to get professional results out of this app. This take on full multitrack recording on iOS is best geared towards electronic and hip hop producers. The modular nature (anything can connect to almost anything else) is very refreshing, and at times inspiring. Where this fails to live up is in the sequencing department and in the lack of a user-import sampler keyboard (very strange they didn't include this considering how simple it would be). Sequencing is interesting, taking the the DJ concept of blocks, loops and bars and reordering them in a trigger sampler of sorts. However, DJs often work with prerecorded loops, but that's not how you will be utilizing the sequencer. Basically you will live perform (no step sequencer, or piano roll input) all of your parts, being allowed to only change the quantize a bit, then you take those loops and order them in the trigger sequencer mentioned. It's a bit frustrating since you will not have any direct editing options. If you want to change one note, too bad, you will have to just rerecord the part. For this reason, I find the suite fantastic for only single loop creation. For full song editing, there is a lot left to be desired. Still, this is worthwhile and a great way for beginners to get involved, and an oldschool joy for us veterans. It bears mentioning that of all of the daws on my iPad, I often get the best loops coming out of this little app. Importing them to nanostudio, or my PC setup is fairly easy (but be warned, the audio export is real time stream-recorded, meaning you will likely have to chop your exports into proper loops in your destination editor of choice). Fix these issues, and it's an easy 5 out of 5..Version: 1.5
✓ TabletopThis has to be the best music making app I have used to date on the iPad. All the instruments sound great, all the fx sound great, when you put it all together it sounds great, the mastering fx sound professional! Once you get the ethos of the app it's great! I think the most exciting thing about tabletop is the live performance aspect of triggering your loops on the fly and live fx! In the next update I would like to see an improvement of performance for the triggerator as it sometimes drops a note at the beginning of the "next" block to be selected. This is the only glitch I can find, I'm running ipad2. I think I'm going to be making a lot of use with this app, it's addictive oh and the 303.......MAD!.Version: 2.0
✓ Yes!!!Tabletop is one of my go to apps. So glad that I can use my Wej with it now!.Version: 2.9.1
✓ AmazingDespite the previous shakey reviews i decided to go ahead and buy this app. I have to say its absolutely perfect. I have lots of studio apps including ielectribe and GarageBand and this is BY FAR the best. Really, really well designed and there's a lot included so you don't need to worry too hard about in app purchases. Even if you do really want one of the IAPs they cost a couple of pounds, nothing compared to its hardware equivalent. Stop whining people, this is great....Version: 1.3
✓ Some of us still use this app.Believe it or not some of us still us this app and paid good money for the plugins, hope the bugs are fixed..Version: 2.9.3
✓ I love tabletop, and retronyms :)This app is so much fun! alot of other apps are such tedium to make a song. this one is a gem. you can quickly throw down a track or spend days working on it. whatever you prefer, this app will let you do it. very fully featured. the imini is really quality, as is impc. xoxbox is really rad too. its all good man just get it and start playing with it, if you're like me you'll quickly realize the potential and want all the extras. i highly recommend getting the bundle, really worth it. I previously left a bad review because of bugs. they seemed more concerned with new features than squashing bugs, but with this latest update, it seems they have corrected many problems, it hasn't crashed yet, and i am thankful they took the time for this bug fix release.Version: 2.3
✓ Effective DAW!Very well implemented DAW. "Signal routing" is about the easiest to understand of any DAWs out there. I'm using an iPad 3, and I thought there might be some glitches in terms of stuttering and memory management, but ... so far so good. Loaded a couple instances of iMPC Pro, Phase 84, and a bunch of other stuff ... switched back and forth ... no problems. Good selection of "getting-started" instruments, but the bundle was worth it. Hey, they gotta make some money! (Note: iMPC Pro and Phase 84 aren't a part of the bundle.) Hard to go wrong with this product..Version: 2.7
✓ AmazingI have used a number of programs like this one before and, for the past 10 years have been an ardent fan of FL studio on PC. However, Tabletop is mind-bogglingly better than anything on the iPad in this genre. It's really unbelievable how easy it is to get a good sound out of this app - and how quickly it happens. Yes, there are purchases. But after playing around with the modules that came with tabletop I *decided* to buy more modules. I was not forced to, and, incidentally, one can do rather amazing things with the bundled modules. However, it is true that every added module adds so much to an already great app. Over time I have bought more and more modules just so that I can experience the awesome :) I'm writing this review specifically due to the fact that I just bought the glitchboard and within minutes I was having waaaaaay too much fun and making awesome music. So, go ahead. Buy it. It pays for itself over and over again....Version: 1.3
✓ Music App HubTabletop for iPad is a very impressive App with plenty of potential for growth with its innovative in-app purchase and uploading features. As the burgeoning music apps market continues to grow Tabletop has set the standard for developing an app that is a self contained music app hub. The ability to purchase add-on devices provides Tabletop users with a plethora of choices when it comes to creating music for any genre. Clear HUD and intuitive interface makes for easy navigation and use. The amount and range of digitized devises that comes with the initial $.99 is well worth the investment, and it would be easy for many musicians to start using Tabletop add-ons to build their perfect mobile studio. The guide on how to use Tabletop is presented well with clear instructions for novice music app users. One of the most innovative functions of Tabletop is its ability to upload and share finished tracks to music community websites such as Soundcloud. A helpful feature for musicians wanting to make their music go public and start generating revenue. If Retronyms continues to provide updates and add ons, Tabletop has the potential to become a long player in an expanding music app market..Version: 1.2
✓ Well Designed InterfaceThe modular design on this is impressive, bundle well worth the purchase as it continues to improve..Version: 1.5
✓ Truly epic!I mainly got this app because I was in search of a good matrix board to play with.. I shrugged at the .99$ price tag and hope it would be worth it.. It completely was! This app has opened my eyes to music production, I have been playing with it for the past 3hours nonstop. I have never touched any type of software like this before, but I am picking up how to use it extremely fast... Can't see why some people are having problems with it, this is now one of my favorite apps on my iPad :) thank you for the awesome deal! Once I master the sound tools I have available currently, I will be buying the extra/add ons.... Amazing app, Not much more to say but I love it.Version: 1.3
✓ Best electronic music making app for iOSIt looks pricey at first when you see components that you would like from the off I.e. reverb, and yes it is. But after using this, becoming addicted due to its fun and extremely flexible approach, it has been money well spent. Just needs more 3rd party support and more inspiring modules from retronyms. One small issue is CPU glitchiness can rear its head from time to time. Good key editor, the sequencer module is great, and the whole loop/table idea is excellent, allowing for some intricate automation. Keep it coming....Version: 2.1
✓ Fantastic... But with some draw backsTabletop is one the best apps that I have used for iPad. It's fun and you can make legitimate music. The only draw back is that you can't use an midi keyboard to control the synths. I understand this would be quite complicated especially when you have multiple synths on the same file (which I do almost every time) but you could at least have a button to press on each synth that you would press when you wanted to control that synth. This would also be great for the drum pad as well. But besides that, this is fantastic. And for only .99 when it's on sale, there is no excuse if you're looking to make real music on your iPad..Version: 1.3
✓ FantasticThis app has amazing potential. Would be five stars if not for the occasional bugs and audio glitches. The interface is very intuitive and efficient. You can tell a lot of work went into the design of the app. Great work, Retronyms..Version: 2.9
✓ AmazingProbably my favourite music production app (and I have a few). And the best part is you can make quality music for free. The in-app purchases enhance the experience however are not required. This is perfect more for electronic and dance music more than any other genres..Version: 1.51
✓ Great appI used this for awhile now. A must have. The only thing missing is the ability to structure a song easily. It needs something to create ya tracks, double up tracks etc like a proper step sequencer. Also I keep getting problems with losing files and the overall sound is glitching and the new impc loses it's sound after you save and go back into it. Overall a good app.Version: 2.5
✓ What update just sent causes my app to keep on crashing my auto copy keep on crashingNow I just updated my app recently our user is at fault coming on over 10 years now but this update is really disturbing. I have four songs completed. I updated my MPC to the pro to and now my app is crashing. My auto copies is removed. what do you do? So now i guests I have to wait for the update to this update wow were someone halfway sleep or under the influence of something when they uploaded this update for us Thee user of the product I’ll be waiting have some work to complete, thank you support 🫡🤔.Version: 2.9.3
✓ Just what was needed!Creative, simple interface, endless possibilities and a platform that pro manufactures can emulate on! So easy to use and intuitive, you could easily ditch your desktop or laptop for it! Only found one issue, think its more a bug, when you record a sequence using the iMPC, you are unable to then edit it using the editor otherwise the tabletop app crashes! Highly recommend app for those budding producers on the move though!.Version: 2.0
✓ A Major ContenderI initially wasn't getting this app, and now for the life of me I don't know why I didn't understand it. Oddly, after I purchased and worked on Korg Gadget which is also great, I went back and tried Tabletop and immediately it made sense. These 2 apps are probably amongst my favorite music creation apps. Korg Gadget has features, layout, and the automation is less buggy than this app. However, where Tabletop shines is the ability to use apps like iMini and Akai iMP inside and alongside the devices inside and available in Tabletop. Also, the inter-app audio input is a real bonus and the ability to input vocals /microphone is also a plus that Korg Gadget doesn't currently have. So, these are both great apps! Tabletop can be a little limited in terms of how many devices you can use on a given table. I wish these was a way to use more, especially for transitions since the Triggerator is so easy to use. Oh, the ability to have more than one instance of iMini and Akai iMPC running at the same time is just awesome! Keep it coming Retronyms!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Amazingly realisticI like how you have to wire the devices together for them to make sound together. I think that is a brilliant concept, and I hope they expand on it in the future. This has lots of potential. It takes time to figure how to use it, but it’s worth it when you find out how you can make wonderful pieces of art!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Easily the best music making app.I love using this kit, even though I have ableton on my mac, sometimes I prefer the flow of building tracks on this. The drum machine and imini are awesome. I bought the full bundle and it's well worth it. If I could expand my pallet as easily as I can in ableton it would be a serious bit of kit. Bring out more synths And please I beg you. Make the connecting cables different colours. Thanks guys..Version: 2.9
✓ Great App some suggestionsThis is a great app and I am finding it very useful so thank you. However I am having trouble with managing all the sounds I have audio copied in to the app. I have many “general pasteboard” sounds and I am finding it difficult to find a specific sample. Plus when I have downloaded the audio copy app there is no place where I can copy audio files into there. I can only record with the mic which is pretty much making it unusable so I have to delete the app to be able to start pasting new audio files in. I hope you can change this, otherwise great work..Version: 2.9.2
✓ LovelyAll praise and criticism of this app is true. Tabletop is what you make out of it. It can be a lot of fun, especially if you use your own samples. Glitchboard is a great device, and can mod-up weak sample sounds. I use Mutekki samples extracted from Electrify app. The results are good because tabletop's platform gives me many creative options. One suggestion I would make is that there be a "mix down" function that would separate each track into a separate wave file for your desktop DAW (Ableton, in my case)..Version: 2.1
✓ Amazing but NEEDS MIDI CLOCK SUPPORT!If this had midi clock support, it would be perfect! The best studio app out there by far. Would love to be able to sync it from external midi clock. PLEEEASE FIX!! As a standalone it's awesome and seriously powerful, but I'd love to be able to use it in my live show properly without having to try and manually beat match the metronomes of this and ableton before I can start playing..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great App! *two request though...This is an absolutely amazing little app and I'd like to thank the developers for making it free! Without being ungrateful, I would have just two requests!! PLEASE add the ability to control the components via midi!! As a musician, I would like to be able to use the app with my outboard gear and trigger it.. USB drum pads, keyboards to control the synths. Secondly, PLEASE add piano roll editing so notes and performances can be edited instead of having to undo or rerecord when a mistake is made. I realize many users use the app live so this may not be as important for them, but for the producer types, this would mean A LOT..time saved is productions perfected!! Thank you for such a great app!.Version: 1.4
✓ Matured Into AstonishingCongrats on the new additions, making this app a musicians dream to work with. Providing a piano roll style editor was the one thing separating this app from being as great as it could have been, in doing so you have lifted the music iOS app bar to amazing heights also with the latest addition of the Akai iMPC, there is no telling what kind of standards this app will distinctively produce. As a producer and song writer I have always had a liking to this particular app not only because it has great rack effects, creative sound programs that come stocked or as addons as well as the mastering and equing abilities that also come stocked or as addons. It's the intuitive and originalities of the program that really set it aside from most of the other music making iOS apps available on the market that got me. As I spoke of earlier in this review, with the latest additions along with the piano roll style editor this app will stay on my iPad for months to come and if the addons along with new creative ways to produce music keep continuing to come out the wood works....I'll continue to produce music with it. I love this app and all the customer, musician driven efforts you hardworking devs put into it. Keep the brain power pushing and thank you for all your hark work....it pays off and it shows. Him.Version: 2.0
✓ Virtual StudioTabletop allows iPad users to have a virtual studio at their fingertips at the fraction of the cost of the real thing. For $60 some odd you can have all additions. A small investment. I own a lot of music apps for the iPad, most of the popular ones. Each has pluses and minuses, but Tabletop is a step above them all. I am a novice and I am hoping to cut my teeth on Tabletop. All of the tools I need are here. I just have to apply myself. I love this app. Update - I have created several songs with Tabletop and find it intuitive to the creative process. The only other apps that compare are NanoStudio and FL Studio Mobile, each having their win strengths. If you're not careful you can end up having all of your songs sound similar with Tabletop, because of the lack of customizable sounds (outside the Gridlock tool). The only thing lacking is a sampler keyboard to use your samples as an instrument. As of this update we are waiting on Tabletop 2.0 to finish the process through Apple to be posted. I will make another update once. I know the new features in 2.0.Version: 1.6
✓ Wow.I'm more of a Rock n Roll guy and this is designed more for electronic musicians. BUT, it is so robust and versatile that I prefer it over other guitar focused apps. There are a few glitches and bugs (don't bother with the Verve, get the Boom Room and the recording audio feature is fairly new with no advanced features yet). But they have done so much with this and it's pretty intuitive. I love that a sequencer is available in almost every device (not in the XOX and not in the TT303). This makes tracking and changing super easy. I hope this stays big and they keep adding and updating features. I echo the opinion that it needs Audio Bus support. That would make it 6 stars..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Amazing appWonderfully fun iPad music app..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Amazing appI bought all of the add-ons to support the developers of this amazing app. Please keep working on it, updating, adding features..Version: 1.3
✓ Good app needs more gearMidi editing :) they listened to users I like retronyms, akai mpc t pain tabletop has matured like a fine wine just needs an audiobus output device one of the best apps on iPad I hadn't used for a while because no midi editing now IM COMING BACK TO TABLETOP THOUGH HELL YEAH, implement audiobus support into this and impc app..... its a five star rig ;).Version: 2.0
✓ REALLY POWERFUL!!!Very cool and powerful does everything you want and there is littereally millions of sounds to be generated probably more!! i bought every single device and i regret nothing very powerful and i want to see more. love the update the voice device...... AWESOME i requested it a while ago and it has been added never have i used an app more often i create dubstep and all with this app and remixing?? dont get me started on the possibilties!!! seriously buy it!! and get all the devices !!.Version: 1.6
✓ Not as bad as you thinkPeople should try out all the free features thoroughly before reviewing. The free stuff is actually pretty good..Version: 2.1
✓ One thingGreat App!!!! The only thing that needs improving is the view interface. Trying to cue one thing and start another at the same time can be challenging at times. Despite this everything is Great!!!.Version: 1.02
✓ SUMO Records(CAN/JPN)est 1984rGreat apps :).Version: 2.7
✓ Great app but...WOW, I'd say this is the best music app ever and the most used on my iPad. But there is a bug that makes the app crash while playing music through the decks. Please fix as this is really annoying but otherwise this is the best app out there!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Just a fantastic appI'm a guitarist, but have been interested in DJing and how it works for some time. What a great app! You get so much content free of charge. I have had so much fun learning and making original music with this app. I paid for most of the add ons even though I was able to create so much free of charge. Even though I'm not a DJ, I know quality and this app is just that. A high quality app for beginner to advanced musicians. I would be shocked if there was a better app out there. Check out studio tracks/four tracks too!! Another great app from these guys!! Edit: Suggestions: a mute/soloing feature would be great. Also the app crashes from time to time, though this shouldn't hinder anyone from trying this amazing app!.Version: 2.0
✓ Amazing appReal-world use for a great piece of hardware..Version: 2.0
✓ Happy!This is a nice app to add to my workflo. I haven't had any issues yet. The app is pretty self explanatory. Can't wait to keep making music!.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Great but probsPlease! Update to fix .wave conversion so there are no stutters/clicks! I notice that when i filled the table, with instruments with the volume down (ghost instruments, if you will), it converts better! Otherwise a stellar app!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Update.As with other comments I would like to have the ability to copy and paste sequences from machine to machine. In particular copy a pattern from a synth and paste it to the Tt303. Class program otherwise..Version: 1.6
✓ Good step forward!Love the jump to 64 bit and the other improvements, but unfortunately I've seen a lot of crashing going on after the last major update. Adding IIA seems to crash the app 90% of the time I first load one, so saving frequently is a must. Once the bugs are squashed it will go back to being one of my top 5 go to iOS music apps..Version: 2.9.1
✓ BEST MODULAR ENVIRONMENTTabletop is the BEST modular environment, I can not believe it is free. the fact it's free makes me want to buy additional instruments. clever. i love love love this app!!!.Version: 1.6
✓ Auto savePLEASE put in auto save or stop crashing because I've lost 7min songs due to crashing. put in auto save.Version: 1.51
✓ Overall great appOverall great app, easy to use if you're well acquainted with the musical arts. My biggest problem is automation, it doesn't work very well. It'd be nice if it could be arranged like PC-based DAW's. 5/5 anyway cause it's really fun to use. Brought this down to a 4/5 cause my track clips amazingly even with the lowest decibels and properly mixed tracks. It sound good in the app, but if I try exporting it it clips..Version: 2.1
✓ Wicked for production on the run!I work with kids with disabilities and we use tabletop, I haven't unlocked everything or anything yet, but from what is free you can tell your getting a extremely powerful production studio on the run, I use this software to make quick loops or a full production piece. This is wicked and runs smoothly as anything on the iPad Mini..Version: 1.6
✓ ExceptionalI've tried so many (rather expensive) music making apps. I found this when it was $10, went to buy, and it went free. I immediately downloaded! What's included is completely enough for a beginner like me. When I get good enough, I'll buy more devices. As for the bad reviews, I would like to state that the real-life devices are hundreds of dollars. For five bucks or so per virtual device, this is a steal. I love it. I make music in TableTop, then bring it over to DJay and mix it with other songs. Finally, I would like to say that I have never seen another program like TableTop. Anyway, I'm so happy with it! Thanks!.Version: 1.4
✓ Almost PerfectThis app is great for any person who uses reason or rebirth, and doesn't take long to learn how to use the app. It took me about an hour to get use to the app, and after that I was making beats in no time. Pros: -easy to use -sounds great -cheap($1) -you can make almost every genre (hip hop, rap, dustep, electro, ect.) Cons: -crashes (but didn't lose anything) -you can't export any of the song you make -you have to pay for extra effects, instruments, and controllers but it's wroth it -needs more instruments and effects and stuff My specs are: iPad 1st gen. 64 gb 3G + wifi running 5.0.1 Bottom line: This app is great for the price the company is selling it at and after they fix their bugs and add more instruments and effects..Version: 1.3
✓ LooperI like this app a ton of fun, but it needs a simple looper,.Version: 1.6
✓ Really awesome until the latest iOSThis app is awesome, been making bears and tunes on this thing non-stop. But now the new iOS on my iPad makes it crash every 5 minutes I open the program. Be nice if it was fixed so I can keep using it. 5 stars before the new IOS but 4 now..Version: 2.5
✓ Would love this to be Audiobus enabled :)Great new features - thanks, but opening previous songs are becoming more unstable on opening..ipad2 no other apps open, so end up closing and reopening....mostly works as a 'fix' ...it would be awesome to have this Enabled to support Audiobus. Are there plans?.Version: 2.1
✓ Love this appCan't get enough of it.Version: 1.3
✓ UmmmBrilliant... Looking forward to future updates, mute / solo ability on tracks would be amazing..Version: 2.0
