IMPC for Negative User Reviews
✓ LackingLack of easy resampling really limits the usefulness of this app. If you're willing to spend a few quid more, go for Beatmaker 2 (audiobus compatible and fantastic chopping/sampling workflow). Latest update doesn't complete thus not letting the app even launch. I'm bummed out as I'm a big fan of Akai hardware. Avoid..Version: 1.1
✓ Is it not deprecated?This app has not been updated in more than a year, and yet you’re running a sale on it? Doesn’t seem right to me.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Crashes often & exports glitchy audioI had a big problem exporting audio files - all of the sequences were glitchy and some had chunks of audio missing. Therefore there’s no good way of exporting audio files to a DAW. If the developer could please fix these two issues, the app would be a lot better..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Why no upgrade pathThis is alright but after downloading realised this isn't the pro version I wanted. Now I have the buy the full version at full cost to get what I want. Shouldn't owners of this have an upgrade cost rather than paying for both when the pro will clearly replace this on my ipad.Version: 1.4
✓ Good but not great!I like this app but it is missing a few things that could make it exceptional. First off it needs audiobus support so we don't need to rely on the tabletop app so much. Tabletop is a fine app itself but my sequences and external samples don't carry over from the standalone impc to the tabletop impc. This app also needs better core midi support. I have an akai lpd8 that I use through lightning-USB connector but I can't map it unless I'm in tabletop. Even with a keyboard I can't find the midi notes to trigger the twelve pads. I'm not going to spend $200 on the mpc fly because it seems to have issues and I'm using an ipad mini after upgrading from an ipad 1st generation. I'm asking the developers to please make this app more accessible and versatile to users who don't prefer using tabletop and mpc fly. I would just like to be able to midi map to the standalone impc and use audiobus to create in a different app. This is a great song making component but I would like to have soft synths, audio tracks and effects in a DAW that isn't tabletop..Version: 1.2
✓ Waste of moneyAnyone coming from a real MPC would cringe at the sight of this app. No track sequencer, no chop shop, only four tracks, samples cannot be edited once assigned to a pad, Etc. If you want something that is more then capable, try beatmaker!!! Worlds ahead of this. So disappointed in akai..Version: 1.0
✓ It is what it says it is… with caveatsThe app runs as they describe, though their use of language is… vague. The app hangs on certain tasks (using iPad 11” M1(2020)). For example I can’t sample things more than once. Once the recording for the second is done the app hangs and crashes. Overall it’s good at doing it’s stock things but it’s hard to sample things when it’s very limiting..Version: 1.4.2
✓ "Community"Cloud seeder, "community", whatever - another word for unwanted ads in a paid app. Annoying. Please lose that "feature" guys, or at least make it optional..Version: 1.3
✓ Get out of my face with the news tickerSeriously, I've opened this up a few times now and while enjoying using it, I've had to shut it own because of he flashing news ticker at the top of the app - I've paid money for this, leave me alone to make music with it! If I want news I will click on a link, but your constant nagging even after I have read the news items is disrespectful and distracting! Show your customers some respect and remove it please - or at least make it optional. Until then, not a serious tool for making music, more of an Akai marketing blah - poor, very very poor!.Version: 1.0
✓ NigglesWhy oh why oh why do we need to have a metronome on always when recording and especially overdubbing ???? iDaft Faux scratches will impress a kid for 2 minutes and annoy thereafter !!!! iDespair Banner - iAnnoyed Any app which pretends to function like hardware is always missing the point and missing a trick when it comes to touch device interface design - having said that, it has a decent 'feel' timing wise on the pads and some of the sounds are okay Easy to fix hopefully .... and thankfully plays nice on an iPad 1 Share button is too immediate - a sample chopper would be nice if they go that way - flawed but worth a punt.Version: 1.0
✓ I don't like it.Nice graphics though.Version: 1.0
✓ Unstable and unfinishedThis could - and should - have been a much better app. The workflow is simple, the potential is great, but there are many big problems: - Crashes, crashes once in 2-3 audio paste attempts - very disappointing! - There is no sample editing after you saved a new file... Very strange. And no fade ins/outs to avoid clicks. - Only three effects? Come on, no flanger, chorus, or even a filter? - You can record patterns but cannot sequence them (only in real time by hand)..Version: 1.3
✓ Missing features...I love the app. I really like the ability to sample from my own library, thanks a bunch. It is very easy to create programs, win! The compressor sounds good too. The fx were ok, they could use some tweaking to get them to sound better and maybe the ability to save the fx as user presets. Maybe factory presets to get the 12 bit MPC 60 crunch! Also the Ensoniq ASR10 would be dope too. Lets not forget the EMU SP12. It's probably to much to ask for..... I could see some pro features as add on's like "auto chop" to a program and maybe multiple triggers for the pads. ***The most important thing I was looking for was song mode so that I could combine different sequences together into a song and then export sequence as wav/mp3/etc. and track split to file from song mode to master in a DAW. I own all! of the Akai MPC's and I would like to put them in a display case so that I can just use my iMPC for ever....Version: 1.0
✓ Little thought employed, bizarrely enough.Given that you can't export to pasteboard or use audiobus this 'update' is an idiots' bangle. Retronyms, I suggest you abandon the 'inhouse' idea with your other silly apps (fussy toys ) & fix impc with good export tools. If Imaschine did pasteboard you wouldn't stand a chance, with export to pasteboard you might become useful. please employ people with at least some vision in future please..Version: 1.3
✓ Not workingPaid for this app and it does not work. Wont open. Cheers for thar. Absolute rubbish, dont buy, abandonware.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Recording...Am I being stupid or is it impossible to record?! Nothing seems to be happening.....Version: 1.0
✓ Terrible appI don’t usually write reviews, but felt compelled to review this app after using it many times. While using the app, it will frequently crash to the home screen on my iPad. While making a beat, I have begun to notice that the app will sometimes rearrange my hits without me doing anything. It is safe, it just has a mind of its own to change my heads. On the iPhone version that I have, the tempo of my beat is much faster when the headphones are unplugged, even though I have not change the tempo. The correct tempo will play when the headphone jack is in use. This does not happen on my iPad. These features impair some of the functionality. I cannot recommend this app until more bug fixes improving use. Additionally, I’m not sure whether the app will allow importing tracks from device to device. I had to remake all of my beat on my new iPad because I could not figure out a way to export them from my iPhone, and import them into my iPad..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Needs chop featureThis app was pretty good at first but I am now having a prob even getting it to load on my ipad... I tap the icon and it starts to load for about 2 seconds then it returns to the ipad screen! Am awaiting an update to fix this problem! Also I think this app would be so much better if there was a chop feature as on all real mpcs where you can chop a sample in to pieces/slices! Shame really! Hope developers incorporate this feature as would make it a 5 star app!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Crash?The app doesn't open anymore. I've been using this app for over a year now, I absolutely love it. But starting last night, when I touched the app icon it opened for a second and then closed back to my iPad's desktop. I've tried 50 times since last night and I keep getting the same result. I've noticed a few glitches the last few weeks. When I would record a beat, it didn't sound as crisp as it should during the recording process. When you played back what you just recorded it sounded fine, but during the recording it didn't sound crisp like it always has in the past. The second glitch I noticed recently is when I left the app to go to another app or web page, a red line across the top of the screen(from where it says ipad to your battery life) would always be there. In the line it would say iMPC recording. To remove the line I would have to shut down my ipad then start it back up. This is really disappointing because I have tons of beats that I'd hate to lose..Version: 1.3
✓ Good app when it wants to beIt’s been great for church usage, but just recently this app crashed on me when I was playing one of my tracks. Let’s just say that the tracks I created doesn’t sound the same no more and I have to redo almost all of them now. I don’t know how long has been since this app got an update, but I think it’s really time for one if you ask me..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Needs Improvement!First, let me say that just the sample set which is included is worth the purchase price, the problem is that the app lacks features that you would expect to find... For example, the sample edit page allows you to tweek the volume and the pitch, but not panning. I don't know if you're up on the latest trends in music technology, but there's this new thing called "stereo" that really depends on panning. I know that a lot of folks consider stereo to be just a fad, but mark my words... Not only is it here to stay, but I beleive that in the future there will be other formats that will surround you with 5 to 8 speakers!.Version: 1.1
✓ Not possible to export to computerBuyer beware! The export functionality relies on the desktop iTunes “Apps” section which has been removed from iTunes a long time ago. And iCloud is not supported. So basically you can’t export the stuff you created..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Very intuitiveGot it all working in a short time due to the smart layout and the ease of use. Is lacking decent audio export function which means you have to fetch your audio exports from an iTunes computer (not so smart for an app designed for a mobile device) I also feel the sequencer needs an editor. The sampler recording functions are very limited and lack controls such as stereo or mono input and there is no input gain. I have also found that I cannot monitor the audio input when using with iRiff Port which means I have to sample blind. Only has WIST midi over Bluetooth. This app really needs core midi support so you can sync to your external DAW..Version: 1.0
✓ Lame on so many levels!!!What makes this an MPC? Because it looks like one? In the words of Katt Williams, as crazy as he is " a Chrysler 300 looks like a Phantom until one pulls up on the side of you". Where's the features. Yu guys aught to be ashamed of yourselves!!! 1st off my iMPC icon is white now after updating and when i open it in stand alone i see no pads just the words from the interface,weird. Roger Linn bless his soul is probably turning over in his grave about you guys butchering his masterpiece. This is merely a toy as is. And tabletop over audiobus? Really? Tabletop is so limited and slow with releases. They must have paid big bucks for exclusive rights to iMPC. Shame on you for limiting users for personal gain. And if its not true then so what, you guys shouldn't have left us stranded with Another useless app. AUTOCHOP AUTOCHOP AUTOCHOP!!!!!! Oh and one more thing AUTOCHOP!!!!! Lord help them because they obviously don't know what the hell they're doing. If you can't do it right don't do it at all. AUTOCHOP!!!!!!.Version: 1.1
✓ Wasted opportunityWow, this app is a big disappointment....I at least expect to be able to step sequence or even edit a sample length without needing to resample....and why on earth do my loops start clipping and crashing after an 8 bar section loops? It freezes up constantly and is making this an unusable waste of £5. NOT impressed....sort out the bugs and it'll be a mild diversion..Version: 1.0
✓ :(The sampler loads most of my songs in an inaudible, distorted way so I can't use them.Version: 1.2
✓ Mostly Good, Still Major FlawsThis App is an awesome way to stay musically creative when all you have is your iPad. Whether on a plane, train, or at the park, iMPC allows you to sample audio and compose your own music. PROS: -Intuitive feel and easy sampling from iTunes library. You will learn quick and be entertained for days. -Good drum samples included. -Classic Akai Look and Feel. CONS: -Pads sometimes didn't always trigger samples when hit. (maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm using iPad 1) -The tutorial section isn't comprehensive enough. I still had questions about using 16 Levels and I don't have a resource to consult to learn more about using iMPC. -Exported .WAVs do not sound the same when in their exported form. Specifically, the changes i had made to individual sample hits (transposing, tempo change) didn't appear in my exported song, which meant I could only listen to my songs in the iMPC program. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. What's the point of having a great sampling/production tool if you can't export your beats and turn them into hits? As soon as this fatal flaw is fixed in an update I'll change my review to 5 stars..Version: 1.0
✓ Loads of potential, load of rubbish.Looks good, doesn't work very well. The user interface is ropey, you can only import samples via iTunes which is rubbish, and you can't delete samples you create. Abysmal, and I will be getting a refund. I can only echo the sentiments of others, its a shambles..Version: 1.1
✓ Officially frustratedI don't even know where to begin but I am officially disappointed in Akai. I think that one of the biggest disappointments is the fact that you cannot use Bluetooth speakers of any sort with this app and only with this app. I do not understand why! They have updated this app several times and most of the updates have been bug fixes towards sound cloud, as if that is a more useful option for us beat makers. Instead of updating the app properly, for example, giving us more tracks to begin with or, making a Bluetooth compatible, or many other things I can complain about, instead they going to release a new version. Deleting the app after several years of usage I can finally admit to myself that it's completely useless.Version: 1.4
✓ Akai Professional? Akai Amateur is more accurate.Very limited in what it can do, especially installing. An atrocious App you should avoid at all costs. Just check the amount of one-star reviews there are. I wish I had before buying it..Version: 1.1
✓ It's good but...If you do nothing else just connect with audio bus. We are all serious about using the iPad these days and you are discluding it from any type of production using iPad. Sample chop,piano roll, audio editing and you know the rest would be fantastic in upgrades. We are not privileged to use your app, you are privileged to have us as customers, adjust your service to suit..Version: 1.3
✓ Not compatibleYou cannot send your production anywhere except soundcloud, this is ridiculus..Version: 1.1
✓ Great when it worksBought this to work with my Akai mpd218. When it works it’s great, but it crashes a lot, and stops working completely a lot. Very frustrating, first time user of any Akai products and very disappointed..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Please UPDATE THIS APP🎛 needs update for crashing importing and exporting.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Good but keyboard gets stuckWhen you decide to share your sounds on soundcloud.. They onscreen keyboard stays docked and you have to leave and close the app. I don't even know if it gets uploaded..Version: 1.2
✓ KonCertainly a nice looking app, I love the retro MPC styling. It is a massive shame though that both Akai and Native instruments have such poor i-offerings considering they are big companies with big budgets, large R&D teams and the advantage of being market leaders with years of expertise in the field of drum/beat machines so should know what their customers want, need and expect. These apps are blown out of the water by the likes of Beatmaker2 and NanoStudio - the latter of which was developed a couple of years ago by a ONE MAN TEAM!!! Sometimes it feels like the big boys are deliberately holding back on technologies just to prolong their marketing plan over the coming year(s). This feeling goes for their hardware too..Version: 1.0
✓ Stop Lying About this App itStop Lying about this app the only thing you're doing is letting people know that you don't know how to use an mpc or any sampler for that matter. some of you are saying that sample editing on this thing is easy and a breeze, stop lying, you can't even edit the sounds in the library, and you can't edit your own samples after the initial recording of them…. stop lying.!!!! you cannot export audio from this app without loop tails so that you can correctly import and play the audio in another app………… so stop lying!!!!!!! this app does not resample internally………… so stop lying !!!!!!! this app does not automatically chop samples and assign them to the pads…………..so stop lying and even if you don't care about auto chop like me and have been sampling way longer than auto chop has existed you still can't edit samples (chop manually) without having to resample the same sample for every single slice. in other words if you sampled a 4 bar break and wanted to slice it up you'd have to sample it 4 times!!!!!! ………………………..so stop Lying !!!!!!!! this app is not a fully functional mpc as blatantly, and falsely advertised ! …. so ……….JUST STOP LYING !!!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ 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..Version: 1.1
✓ You've got to be kidding meC'mon Akai, you can do better! I was pretty excited to use this app, as it LOOKS great. But it seems Akai put most of their efforts into the interface design, as there are some crucial functionalities that are missing and are absolute deal-breakers. 1) I can't edit samples after I record them, let alone chop them. And there is no copy/paste sound option to speak of. 2) Why on god's green earth would my sequence playback stop when I'm looking for sounds in my library?! So instead of testing sounds on the fly, I have to load the sound, press play, see if it goes with what I laid down, rinse and repeat, until I find something I like? Ridiculous! No extra banks, only whole number bpm's... I could go on and on. Having used other apps like Beatmaker, I have to say this is a HUGE letdown. I'll be expecting updates..Version: 1.0
✓ Useless outside of TabletopEdited: There is indeed an audio copy/ paste feature but the way to do so is not as obvious as every other music app that utilizes this feature. In fact it seems that Akai intentionally done its best to hide the smallest little button to bring up the audio copy and paste which can then only he accessed by first "export to soundcloud". Despite the fact that I can still work around this for the most part, its been a while since i have used this app, and due to bad customer service and lack of developer support for the IMPC( and Tabletop for that matter) they have since collected dust for a while now. I can only speculate why these two apps got so popular, but those opinions will be left for more appropriate channels. There are better drum machines and sequencers on IOS. I will just take the impc sample files and load them in a far superior drum machine and delete this subpar app to save space. Original review: This app, despite a very pro look and ok sound, is virtually useless outside of Tabletop, which is an already archaic dinosaur of music production. There is no audio copy/paste and no audio us support and due to the limited nature of its export option, you can only export to soundcloud or upload songs to the community board which is non professional in the slightest. Unless you utilize Tabletop, you won't get much out of this app. Once it can be used on its own, which won't happen I presume, then its not really worth the money..Version: 1.2
✓ Impc review- giftshoppeSave/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 !.Version: 1.1
✓ ..Su*#s.Version: 1.2
✓ Buggy and non-playableGreat concept and sounds, but come on! - when I play legato in 16 levels mode taking any of the notes off will cut them all off, uh? And then after it is recorded it sounds staccato anyway. - cranky midi implementation: some of my midi-controllers just shut off the track they were used with, even pads on screen won't trigger any sound until restarting the app. - no midi event editing. It should be either flawlessly playable or editable on a per note level to be usable. - can't switch off community notifications?.Version: 1.0
✓ A money scam to keep u locked their products onlyI’ve tried all the work arounds Over the top with the money games, overtly created with limitation, confusion 2 drive more money out of the customer..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Useless without Audiobus support, crashes constantly!!Needs audiobus support, otherwise this is boring and no good. The best thing about my MPC is having outs and the ability to work with other equipment. Having this only work with tabletop is such a waste as tabletop is quite limited and buggy at best. Audiobus support, please! Crashes after editing one sample. So annoying. This app is plagued with disappointment!!.Version: 1.3
✓ Similar to iMaschine, but still needs help.Before getting immersed in iOS music production I used to make music on a PC and used Native Instruments extensively for all my sounds. I was excited to see iMaschine as an app on my iPad (back in 2011) and did not hesitate to buy. Well, it was just ok, has lots of potential, but the capabilities have not been enhanced since (no Audiobus, ACP, nor IAA) and uploading samples is a chore (have to connect to a computer, and has to be a certain sample rate to work). Now there's iMPC, this one is able to read sample rate, but still have to connect to a computer, no Audiobus nor IAA. Functionality is similar on both apps. One advantage iMPC has over iMaschine is that you can you can interact within your iPad, in this case with Tabletop. On Tabletop, you can as many instances of iMPC as the idevice can handleand create a complete production in the box, while iMaschine needs to send its track to either SoundCloud or Maschine on a computer to finish it out. So, there you have it, iMPC, not perfect but close enough for beat making..Version: 1.3
✓ Fix the Bluetooth compatibilityI have searched the problem online and apparently it's hasn't been working for a while. It would be nice to use my Bluetooth headphones with recognizable sounds.....Version: 1.3
✓ Not badGood app, however please update the sample editing options and sort out being able to access your sequences when using the app in table top. 3stars, could easily be 5 with a couple of tweaks.Version: 1.0
✓ 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..Version: 1.1
✓ DisappointedThis program has serious issues. At first glance it seemed ok, as I started to use it with my own samples it goes haywire, all and all it just doesn't work, you could muck around with the pre loaded samples, but it lags and goes all over the place, when you try to implement your own sounds. Excited at first, now I'm just let down, in all fairness I should get a refund..Version: 1.2
✓ What happened?Used to be one of my go-to apps, but now it crashes as soon as it starts and tries to connect to the net. The only way I can get it to work is to turn off wi-fi, and then I can't take advantage of the patch sharing, etc..Version: 1.2
✓ Keep crashingPlease, fix the app! Every time I use the sampler and trim the sample, pressing the pad to check the sample crashes the app. It doesn’t make sense to pay for an crashing app!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Sample deletingThe app is great, but there is no way to delete samples and if the samples keep building it might run out of memory. Can you fix this? Needa good way to connect the synths and beat pad too.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't allow sampling of music libraryThis app has a bug where it treats my whole music library as DRM, and does not allow me to sample from it. Most of my music library is ripped from CDs that I've purchased. When I sent akai a message explaining this and requesting a refund, they just never got back to me. I can't recommend this app for anyone unless you've already tried it and understand its limitations..Version: 1.0
✓ I like it but......It has a great ability to sample. However, it has no ability to really sequence. Which is a shame as that is it's real weakness. This company produces the tabletop app which has a half decent sequencer (not a great one). They do not implement that sequencer into this app. You can fiddle with this app but you can not craft. I wish they had more effects but I am not going to be mad about that. I looking forward to the growth of this app. I also would like to be able to use the app to edit samples in multiple ways. Such as play a set of notes in one recording and then chop it up and save each chop as a different sample..Version: 1.0
✓ NEEDS UPDATING!!Brought this being an mpc user and fan and i was very disappointed!! This needs a serious update to allow for - more tracks, no adverts at the top constantly, MIDI, being able to to do more than one chop at a time and a step sequencer wouldn't go a miss either, Beatmaker 2 is my choice of weapon on my ipad until they update this.Version: 1.0
✓ App keeps crashingNot sure why there seems to be no support for this paid app it keeps crashing on the iPad and it can make you look like a fool when you try to show a client something. Not pleased.Version: 1.4.2
✓ ImpcWhat a load of buggy rubbish I was going to buy the mpc fly this app is not good it dosent even work with Bluetooth headphones plays the pads slow so many things not write come on akai what are u playing at £5 for this app I would say 5p it's worth feel let down on such a cool brand in the old days beatmaker 2 wins hands down.Version: 1.2
✓ App doesn’t work correctly anymore.All the samples are playing back at 1/8 their original speed. It clearly needs to be updated or taken off the store..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Very Poor effort...Version: 1.4.2
✓ Half Star for that last effort 11 Mos. agoDont destroy the good name of Akai. You have not updated this to the latest iOS SDK and it shows. Major changes were adjusted and added to the audio portion. Please fix this app..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Ok, but Not an MPCEDIT: after downloading Tabletop, I'm updating my review. This app is much better with it since it provides solutions for its shortcomings. However, it's still missing rudimentary MPC features: chop, song mode (provided in Tabletop), and more than 4 tracks. It is missing other features that you take for granted in apps like this, like Dropbox support to manage samples. It would be nice if you could load patterns into Tabletop that you create in the standalone version. I must say that the sound quality is very good. However, it's a few updates away (hopefully) from being a real MPC..Version: 1.0
✓ Not what I ExpectedSo I thought, Wow! an official Akai MPC app and found that looks we're deceiving shortly after committing to the purchase. I currently own Beatmaker2 which is my go to production app and in comparison I can't help but think Akai dropped the ball on this one. The plus side is that I was able to launch the app and get right to work but, felt limited as I was attempting to move forward. So I can't figure out to to edit samples after I sample and assign them. How do you chop on this thing ? Where's the create new sound option from the trim screen ? I thought the iMPC app would simplify things like how Beatmaker2 has but, isn't even on par with the 2000XL. All in all I guess this is a cool drum machine for the price but, for full on sample based production...Not recommended ! 1 sample bank is not enough...at least the MPC 60 had 2. No filters or any of the staple MPC parameters (attack,decay,note mute) no trim screen. The only thing MPC like about this app is appearance... Not worthy of the MPC title. The sequencer is about the only thing I can recognize as being effective. App is cool, almost good but, far from great. Here's hoping that future updates will add some much needed features to bring this app closer to being included in the MPC legacy..Version: 1.0
✓ DAFAQ is an ITunes plus?Because of this garbage we are no longer able to sample in your app, which all cost money, and we are unable to use efficiently. What a rubbish lucky for my 2kxl.Version: 1.3.1
