iMPC Pro 2 release bundle: itunes.apple.com/us/app-bundl...
We’re back for another episode of iMPC Pro Log, which showcases the features and latest development progress for our iMPC Pro apps. We’re proud to announce our latest collaboration with Akai Professional: iMPC Pro 2.
iMPC Pro 2 fuses innovative song creation with the iconic MPC workflow. iMPC Pro gave us a powerful sampler and beatmaker, and now iMPC Pro 2 has evolved into a full fledged song creation tool with the addition of vocal tracks, Audio Units integration, a sleek new design and tons of new features!
iMPC Pro 2 also comes with 5 additional Sound Packs for FREE (valued at $35). Grab these packs in the AudioCopy Content Store: Essential Club Collection, Classic Cuts, Dub 2 DnB, Melodic Collection, and The Diploma! You can use them in hundreds of AudioCopy compatible apps (including iMPC and iMPC Pro).
So stoked. Already use the first version primarily, glad you guys built on it.
Mann!!!! we was shocked wen we saw it! I ram and got it. Awesome new features! The 4 mute group was much need it!!! Song mode was a lil difficult at first cuss I wasn't expecting u guys to change it. Since it worked good as it was. Very cool tho. Good job
Thanks Retronyms and Akai pro! I use the impc pro for my refugee workshops and it was a super nice move from the company to provide free codes for the people! EPIC move guys!! Just epic!! Thank you very much from my students too!
A couple of things came to my mind: Impc Pro 2 needs Android compatability - that way you could triple the userbase! AudioBus3 support would come in handy too. An option for the slider in main screen to keep it in place and set back to 0 on double tap would be nice for tweaking kits while fingerdrumming on a controller (I take that back if it is assignable via midilearn already) A few settings for the autoduck would be cool, especially since the MPC live has no sidechainfeature yet ;) AND: We need more bars (128) per sequence pleeeeease ;) So far it is looking great. Excited to see what you do with it in the future! Cheerz!!
Question: Is Impc pro 2 controlable via the MPC Live surface via cck and usb orloghtning cable? Did anyone manage to use the mpc live as audio interface for the ipad yet?
You do great how to videos for iMPC pro because you know it so well, among other things like you speak well and explain very well. Please make many videos for iMPC pro 2. It will pay off because it’s an easy app to use once you catch on, but people need you to show off all of it. I know you made plenty for the version 1.5 and before but you have to make fresh ones. Thanks for what you do.
Indeed. Tutorials are always much appreciated. I would have missed out on a lot of features without them.
Awesome work Retronyms! Been using iMPC Pro for a while, plan to get iMpc Pro 2 if it goes on sale. What I wish for though is a software emulation of an Ensoniq EPS/ASR!!! I loved the workflow of those machines so much.
Already liking the tracks menu with audio units
Ste's stuff
How do you install the audio units into IMPC Pro? Been looking all over the place for help
Thanks,
I can tell that you are passionate about bringing us a good mpc app man. I appreciate it.
you got it! /JP
@@RetronymsApps hey Jp maybe you can upgrade us garageband already does a lot of what’s in this impc Presentation maybe the impc should just stick to doing what a mpc should do focus more on that and like make more like the live version an alternative to us that don’t want to put out a lot of money for the live my goal is to use impc beyond its limits to become better than even Araabmuzik help me do that ! By giving the software a upgrade and make it even stronger !
Maybe even allow it to link to new DJ algorithm AI
At end of the day I’m going to push the impc to its limits !
THANK YOU RETRONYMS & AKAI 🍓🍍🌸🌷🌼🌻🥀 🍁
Great video and examples.
Would be nice if there was a light mode skin for the classic look.
Great video bro and the app is really awesome!
Can you please make a video detailing how to make programs into separate tracks to have more individual control for volume and effects? I’m really still learning the MPC style of making beats so this would be great!
Also perhaps the dev team could someday add an effects return knobby per pad option in the tweak page. This would add a ton of effect flexibility with tracks and per pad.
Looking forward to all that’s in store for this great app!
Thanks for the great video! Do you have any idea what the actual output audio quality is? I can't get any specs from Akai. I downloaded IMPC for my iphone and played it through my studio monitors. The sound quality was awful.
Good stuff. And good work.
Great Stuff!
Will there be a bunch of videos for this big release. Would have thought those would have cone out at the same time. Too bad.
When is the app available on spotify tho..?
🔥🔥
Hello JP, Great video!
Would you know if it’s possible to set up a KMI softstep 2 with the iMPC on an ipad mini 4? I need to play already made loops live while playing the guitar.
Q.
Can I set up the iMPC and the Softstep to:
play loop 1 by pressing button one on the Softstep which is mapped to button 1 on the iMPC
and by pressing button 2 on the Softstep it finishes loop 1 and starts playing loop 2 on the iMPC etc...
I would also need to play one-shots over these loops by pressing any other button.
Any help appreciated
Cheers
now works on iPhone too! will purchase!
Can i use any of the mpd series pad controllers with this? How does this combo stack up to let's say an mpc 1000?does impc have all the features from the 1000? And last question can it sequence midi notes to an external midi module/synth like a microkorg? Thanks.
I’ve been trying to use the iMPC pro 2 on my iPad Pro 12.9 but the pads are small will there be an update to fix this? IMPC pro 1 works fine on my iPad Pro
Are the physical controller pads still available for the iPad??
JP I already own iMPC PRO, do I have to wait until the bundle is on the App store to get this current version for $15.00? Or will I be able purchase it now for that price?
You'll have to wait for the bundle (it's in review with apple now) /JP
Bundle is available now! itunes.apple.com/us/app-bundle/id1325378613?mt=8&at=11l4Cg&ct=socmd /JP
What if you finished a project on iMPC Pro 2 and want to work with this project in LOGIC X? Is MIDI eported too?
I seem to be having an issue with getting my audio units installed. Is there some step I’m missing to link them up before they show up in the “tap to load” window? I have the same Arturia synth but I just get a blank box when I click to load.
Quick question please- can you have 2 or more projects open at the same time, and switch between them quickly?
Yooooo audio unit function Is dope🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I Reck Beatz didn’t get what it does yet can you explain it to me in a simple way without the need of background info
: VELY: they made it easier 2 use other apps u might have 4 instance if u wanna add some keys u can 2 your beat press audio unit function n select a piano or synth app n u can play and record 2 ya music
What’s up with the harpsichord, sitar, world instruments pack? Do you all have anything in your store like that?
Okay, I found the discounted "Complete My Bundle" in my app store on the iPad offering it at $15.00, wonderful! However, when I tap the blue "$15.00" it does a short waiting spiral then springs right back to the "$15.00" mark again... no download, no charge.
Hi all, is it worth for iPad mini 4? I’m thinking to buy it
Fantastic release. I use an iPad Pro 12.9 and the 16 pads are very small. Much smaller than the previous iMPC Pro. Is there a setting to change pad size?
In the previous version we simply scaled all the UI larger. iMPC Pro 2 actually supports the different screen sizes properly. We thought the pad size was more ergonomic, but you're not the first to ask about this. I think we'll make them larger in future updates /JP
i can understand the allure to have it 'responsive' across all the different style iOS tablets. I was sold on the 12.9 especially for the size of the instruments in relation to my fat fingers. I am experimenting right now with using my SP-16 as a controller for and with the iMPC Pro 2.
there are definitely advantages on the larger iPads (taller sounds table for one)
wait this was intentional? I was certain it was a mistake. please update ASAP.
Big ups! Is there a video tutorial on how to copy a track from one pattern to another? Was hunting a user manual and see that's not a thing.
There is not midi sync option to external hardware ?
Can you record audio other than vocals into the audio track tool? I want to manipulate samples in the same way as vocals instead of chopping the samples.
I have pro 1 and cannot find any pro 2 release bundle. I looked in the content store and the App Store
When IMPCPRO2 will be compatible with Tabletop - will I have a chance to use saved projects and sounds inside the Tabletop? Cause now when I use impcpro1 inside the Tabletop it doesn’t see the saved projects from standalone impcpro version and I wonder why ))))
Can you please make a video showing how you can use an Akai MPC or MPD controller with iMPC Pro 2 please?
loving the beard JP!
cant wait!
RV3 THE ONE no need! It's out now :) /JP
Hey I like the app but I’m having trouble getting my own sounds organized to use. Any plans to let folks make folders in AudioCopy? I’m trying to help get others interested in using but as soon as they learn there’s no easy way to import sounds (like Dropbox) they so no go. If this could be fixed you guys will get a lot of new users. Thoughts??
Thank you for the video and software. I'm very interested in buying this but my main question is, how does it integrate with midi controllers? Does it have a midi mapping function? Are certain products pre-mapped and designed to be plug and play? If so which ones?
encdee it has a midi learn function and you can save several midi maps. It also has an “mpc midi mode” that auto maps to certain mpc controllers (MPC Element like)
Retronyms thanks for the reply! If I'm using a generic third party midi controller (not an MPC Element, etc.) will I be able to assign things like transport controls, open 16 levels, undo, over dub, etc?
Or will I just be able to assign the pads to trigger samples and sounds that are on the pads? If generic midi controllers can't do this, are the pre-programed Akai products like the Element able to control these features?
How do you install audio units.......it’s doing my head in????
Please more impc pro 2 videos! 😬
Anyone have a good walk through for MIDI mapping an Akai MPK Mini II? I can map bank A and B, but not C and D.
What is the little RGB dock that his iPad is sitting on?
So why buy an mpc. It seems like this software is right versus the Mpcx/mpc live
What if i bought impc and then bought 2 full price. Can i still get the discount?
Will iMPC Pro 2.0 support import/export for Akai MPC live standalone hardware? If I can start a beat on my iPad and continue working on it on my MPC live, this will be an insta-buy. Obvsly the AUs won’t work but I can always bounce em down to audio
iMPC Pro 1, and Pro 2 both have an "export for MPC" feature, so yes! /JP
Retronyms awesome! You should make a bit more noise about this feature, never knew this was possible ;)
Hey how do I get access to my previous packs that I bought from the content store
I just bought iMPC Pro 2 iPHONE. In video time line 1:47, it shows audio unit, but how to install it? My installed audio unit list, is empty, and the piano has no sound. Is it like plugin, have to buy extra?? Can I use Garageband 's instrument .
What about the ability to add MIDI files? MIDI scores? For example… Let’s say on my computer I use like a groove extractor to break down a particular drum break and then I want to load that into IMPC in order to use those MIDI notes but add my own drums to the sounders, can we do that? And beat maker three we can do that.
So my question is this... I'm new to iMPC Pro.... should I buy the bundle with BOTH apps or just buy Pro 2?
Personally I'd say just buy iMPC Pro 2. The main thing you get with iMPC Pro 1 is it's built in sound library. If that's something you want, the bundle might be a good deal /JP
Man you guys are crazy if you stop developing this app, for cats like me that are plugged into the 2000xl framework this app is gold. keep developing. #2cents
Hello, how do you connect an external midi keyboard? Do you have to have an audio interface? I’m using a camera connection cable, it’s seeing my midi board but I’m not getting them to work together. Please help!,
Can I use my iMPC pro 2 extension packs on MPC 1.9.6 PC/Mac
Nice 👍🏾
shout out to Bruh Luuh! /JP
When i load a song from Spotify onto the turntable to sample i only get 0:30 seconds of playtime instead of the full song and I have Spotify Pro. What do i need to do to get the full song?
Where do I find audio units for the iMPC 2.0"?
yes my isem appears, but not so the imini and iprophet and also not other audio units.Also from Korg, ms 20, polisix, wavestation. And the crazy thing is , in Garage Band they all appear, they are correctly installed.
Also the question why audio units from 3rd party companies not appear, cause they are not installed from appstore ? Can I not use them on Ipad ?
I am new in this whole Apple Ios for music, and maybe I have more to learn, but this is quite confusing.
Android Samsung also get this update
? Really hope so
Hello, I have a question. I I have been using the IMPC Pro2 for IPAD. But it started changing my inter app notes. Can you help me understand what happened.
Hi. Great video. Awesome app! I was waiting for iMPC to have the capability to handle audio recording. Now I have a question. Can you hook this up with MPC Element and/or MPK mini? I've been looking for a video or a webpage that might solve this problem, but so far, there's nothing. And it's been a while since this came out. Can you (or anybody) help me with this? I think it would be great to play this app on real pads.
This was answered on Facebook. Thanks.
Buenas, en el apartado de efectos, exactamente el flanger tiene problemas, no funciona al 100(los controles no responden, solo de ese efecto ) , en mi ipad mini 5. Espero me puedan ayudar :(
If I purchase the software on my phone can I transfer to a tablet
Just downloaded I tried to use it with the AKAI element and its not working. However you're first version is working with the element. Why? all you had to do was pretty much copy and paste that functionality into the update. Is there a fix?
Can I sync it to an mpc live clock?
Demo songggg.lol
. Nice work .love it
New hit
How do we import samples from other app like AudioShare for starters thanks.
You have to export the samples from Audioshare to Audiocopy, and then paste them from there inside the app
You can only if it's compatible with iOS 14 upgrade. I've been researching certain apps and most of the ones you may like is not compatible. Now if you just want to get samples out of audioshare here's how. Select track for beat pad..go to tweak...hit audioshare..thats where you can buy packs. It will show a library of choices.
Hey guys will you make it work properly on iPad Pro 12.9? Loading packs is kind of buggy too! I wrote akai and they had no idea, retronyms didn’t answer my messages!
I mean, the layout looks like it wasn’t adapted for iPad Pro, everything is small, it looks worse than the previous version! Please update it!
I'm so glad I waited and didn't get the previous version of the app. This newer version is great. I keep hearing of bugs but I haven't encountered any so far, so I suppose they got ironed out in the weeks following the release? Only thing missing for me is Dropbox/Audioshare support and Audiobus. Audiocopy just means taking an extra step when importing samples, which is already tedious as there's no batch import function. And I know you can sample directly from IAA and don't need Audiobus but that doesn't help if what you're trying to sample is live external sounds through a USB-audio interface: there's no way to select that audio input channel as opposed to the built-in mic. Hence the need for Audiobus.
I liked the previous colour-scheme better though, with the MPC grey and the red. So pretty. The colour-scheme now is too brash, it would be nice to get to pick the app skin. But blimey, this app has all the features I was looking for in an all-in-one sampler app, and for the most part it's pretty straightforward to use. Happy customer here.
So glad you're enjoying it! May I humbly suggest you give it a rating/review on the App Store? Helps a lot! And don't forget to tag us if you post any music made with it! /JP
Haha, my music sucks you don't want to hear it trust me. I'll give you a good rating on the store though.
I take back the part about batch import, I just saw a video where someone was doing multi-paste with Audiocopy. That's great. Dropbox support would be nice in order to save space though.
Any chance you might implement audio channel select from class compliant audio interfaces, or Audiobus support? I really want to use this app to sample my string instruments live through my Zoom U-24. It'd make a huge difference. Thanks!
You can select the Audio Channel for connected devices in Audio Tracks (tap the Audio Track area in the header bar) /JP
Thanks but that's for audio tracks only, right? Not for sample tracks.
Hey I really appreciate what you guys are doing here. But There's gotta be more people, producers using this app to create music. Beatmaker 3 is kicking your ass. You only made 2 videos on iMPC Pro 2? What I want to know is whether or not iMPC Pro 2 has the same capability as Beatmaker 3 as a DAW. I get how to program beats/drums. What about keyboards/synths? Where do you go to use plugins for those? Can you edit vocals other than to cut and paste? Like pitch corrections? What if I wanted to record my guitar or Rhodes piano (real one) into it? What other plugins can you use to make it sound even more professional? Or is this more for a sound demo/sketch? I wanna use MPC sounds, you know? But if Beatmaker 3 is a better platform as a DAW then I might have to give up using iMPC Pro 2....
Will this still work well with my Mpc element. Will the stop and start work? Can I use the midi out to sequence other gear? Will the pads line up and the banks switch right? If so, I’m sold.
it works with MPC Element (there's a MPC Mode switch in the Midi menu). For clock sync we support Ableton Link. Pads lining up and banks switching: I may not understand. Can you elaborate? /JP
I’ve owned the mpc element and the mpd218. The mpd218 pads didn’t corespondent with the correct midi ccs. The element was just plug and play. I’m mostly interested in the start and stop buttons and the ability to use the midi out from my element to sequence my synth.
I can answer that.. If you use element as midi map input.. the START STOP wont work.. If you select "Legacy Element Mode" it will.. I run an Element and a MPK Mini through my Wej. There was always the issue with selecting bank B and the Element playing everything from A and B at the same time. So depending on which mode you want you get them separate.. but you lose the start/stop. Just play around with it.. Youll see what I mean. REMEMBER to put your element into LOW POWER MODE by holding down TAP as you plug it in
John Z
Thanks for the reply. I think I’m gonna stick with my padkontrol. The stop and start and bank buttons were very helpful in the original iMPC. I’m used to my padkontrol now so going back isn’t worth it without those features.
how do i get this on PC, windows computer or bluestacks?
The audio units don’t appear on iMPC Pro 2 on my iPhone XR🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Just a heads up for those that are interested in impc pro. I just paid 34.99 on the store, not $24. Still a no brainer for making beats & laying down ideas on the go away from the studio.
Does it support real time stretch?
audio tracks have "real" time stretch, yeah /JP
will this app be for iPhone
LOYD BOYMAFIA out now
Can we please have midi tracks? One of the best features of the MPC is that it can be the brain of your studio.
Btw, the faders are linear and not logarithmic, aren't they? They feel very wrong.
The filter frequencies are also linear to my ears? That doesn't work.
You should hook this app up with Dropbox. I use my Dropbox a lot. Most of my samples are in that app.
Its possible to make sidechain?
But the app is amazing!!!!!!
Can you loop a certain part
Can't wait to upgrade. Come on apple...
If I purchase the app on my cell phone can I transfer to my iPad
No
I don't think the iPhone version is out yet. Not even iMPC Pro.
: Hey. I have upgraded from impc pro to impc pro 2. I take it that the bundle is not free using upgrade bundle....
Only negative thing is we can’t compose in odd time signatures like 5/8, 7/8 etc. And Retronyms have no intention to add those features
I can't get my isem to load in audio units...help please!!!
Sorry guy's! The Automation is Awesome flying faders and everything, Awesome! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!!!!
Can you actually record a full length song on this app, where’s the chords function on it, most reviews music are 4or 8 bar lengths with no chord change
Go to song and change your bar length it's all right there. You can also screw the track where the bmp area is. It's an awesome app. I've made numerous tracks already..
@retronyms little bit unfair we need pay more money in UK vs USA
I deleted tracks I wasn’t using and it started freaking out. Like solo track on, but everything was still playing. And now I can’t open that project at all. It crashes the app. I was so happy I figured out how to delete a track, but now I wish I never did. I really was happy with the direction that project was going. I love the app. I just thought I’d let you guys know about this bug and I hope there is a way I can open this project again. Sad day.
Note; The tracks I deleted had audio units on them.
JP is like 'It's been a while'.. Yeah, dude, four years😆
has it? wow.... :) I've done some live streams etc in that time :)
Midi import ?
Is there any Android Android version?
Any android support in the future ???
What I dislike in IMPC pro 2, it’s impossible to import home made drum kits, except using ITunes. I Have mega sounds packs on Dropbox but I can’t import directly from my clouds, I must first set my samples into ITunes unfortunately.
Are you able to sample music?
Can you chop the audio track
I’ll double check it, but I don’t think I got those packs for free. Especially the DTK. I actually paid for it and own it, but that proof-of-purchase didn’t transfer to my other devices. It shows that I haven’t purchased it.
does this have MPE?
