best. ipad. app. ever. i mean, i get my mpc and my korg basicly. plus effects that sound awesome. plus midi. plus copypaste. plus an awesome slicer…. seriously, wtf. this app has it all. as far as my feeling goes, it has the loweset latency ive ever seen and playing the pads is instantly, just like on my old MPC2000XL. only things i’d love to see would be a synth engine and multitrack export. everything else: fucking genuis.
