In partnership with Retronyms, Akai Professional have released iMPC – an Music Production Center (MPC) for your iPad designed to work with the (yet to be released) MPC Fly. With more than 1,200 samples, 50 editable programs, 80 editable sequences, and iconic MPC workflow, iMPC is the first app to bring all the functionality of a classic Akai Pro MPC to your iPad.
What’s more is that the iMPC is “Tabletop Ready” which means that if you purchase the standalone app it will be unlocked for free inside Retronyms music production environment – Tabletop.
The iMPC has a limited time $6.99 introductory price.
“iMPC includes everything you need to create a beat quickly and easily, including built-in effects, plus the ability to create new sequences and record and overdub beats. Time correction from 1/8 note to 1/32T with variable swing, and Note Repeat from 1/8 note to 1/32T with latch control are also built in.
The app’s built-in sampler can record samples three different ways: using the mic on the iPad, using the line input on the iPad, or using the multi-touch turntable interface in iMPC to record samples directly from iTunes or other music libraries.”

its really cool, but really lacks a chopping function like…like the mpc has, which is essential to its workflow. its not beatmaker2, but cool. also, no sharing of sequences/programs between app and tabletop plug.
