iMPC Pro 2 for iPhone

They want you to jump through hoops n learn to buy more stuff and download or create other accounts before they give you functional parts of work flow. That would be fine if it was a free app. But it’s not. There were glitches that kept me from getting some of those things. I’m not the smartest guy. But I worked my way through mpc bible. So I don’t think it’s me.

Input lag is unbearable on iPhone 15. Do not recommend

I previously dropped a bad review for this app….the faults mine🫢😑😑🙄. It wasnt working because I wasn’t following the directions accurately. I finally finished the iMPC-University tutorial 100% and graduated. This is a dope app. Glad I stuck with it. Its my scratch pad for beat ideas when waiting in long lines etc.; very useful tool.

Normally, I contact the developer who makes the apps and I tell them that there is a bug, crash, or something is going wrong during a certain part of using their app. Most of the time I get a response asking me for more info, how this happened, etc… I will say usually it’s the smaller people who care more about their apps, but I can’t be that general because there are a lot of really good companies who get back with me and they are very behind their apps. So, let’s talk about the developer of this app. I sent seven or eight emails over the last seven years regarding imports of samples crashing on their “scratch vinyl” sample import part of this app, which I assume would get used quite a bit. I’ve never received an email. I’ve never received a response to a review. Like I said, I don’t leave reviews unless I have contacted a company many times and they do not respond to me. I am disgusted that I literally emailed this company multiple times before their update last year and even right after their update asking them why they never fixed the issue. No response. No form letter that might have coddled me. not even a response that takes 30 seconds to do via Apple App Store. I haven’t used this app in years and I’m still sickened that I paid $15.99 for it. Yes, that’s dirt cheap nowadays, but this app has literally done nothing for me. Had apps that I’ve paid $1.99 for that have done more in my studio than this app has done in my pocket. You should be ashamed of yourself and I will never promote/purchase/speak of to friends any of your apps in the future. I’m not saying I even matter-I’m no one, but if some other person reads this and feels the same way and decides to never buy another product from you again -then I’ve done my job. Thanks for no responses to well over 10 emails in seven years. This app is a joke and you guys fix TABLETOP before this?? Why make a separate app for iPhone if you’re not going to support it? it’s just a money grab and they do not care about the iPhone version.

It is a little in depth which is fine. As for producing on the impc2 editing midi note is kind of a nightmare… I come from ableton live. I wish they would implement moving midi notes around like they do in “note” (another app made by ableton) I have t figured out how to link the two yet. I haven’t been able to produce a single drum loop on this app and I’ve had it for 2 days now. Maybe it’s on my part?

I’m an avid Akai MPC One user, using it as my main writing and performing tool so I was really stoked to use the iPhone app for sketching out ideas and building simple projects to import into my MPC One later on, unfortunately this app crashes a lot and also suffers from weird audio dropouts which I haven’t been able to figure out. Hopefully this app will get an update in the future because based on what I’ve used of it, it’s fast, fun and easy to put ideas together.

On the phone, on the computer or on the MPC-one.

Have you guys ever thought about making this into MPC Beats free version and add iap to it? Would make a lot of sense especially with how powerful IPads are becoming.

Seems at this point they don’t really update the software. Loads of glitches and the Spotify connect doesn’t work because of some error in the code. I usually wouldn’t leave only one star, but they are virtually inaccessible for tech support. (I tried contacting them on every platform.)

Still very buggy. Crashes randomly at random times. Also crashes trying to load samples from audio copy. Used to be able to drop folders into the app but not anymore. Shame this app is not very much a focus.
