Retronyms has partnered with industry giants like Akai Professional and Arturia to create some of the Tabletop-Ready Apps, like iMPC, iMini, and iProphet! Using the Tabletop features of time stretching and pitch shifting, you can slice loops and time stretch them to different tempos and pitches in iMPC Pro. You can also use sliced loops from purchased AudioCopy sound packs inside Gridlock and iMPC Pro. Loops from these sound packs will automatically match the tempo of your sessions.
Tabletop is an audio playground where you can create beats, compose songs, mix live, make mashups with samples from your iPod library, and more... the possibilities are endless. Plug the output of a keyboard into a delay to add an echo, or wire it up to a mixer and adjust the pan. Chain up multiple effects to create new and evolving sounds.

• 43 devices including effects, sequencers, drum machines, and synths
• 14 devices are included for free

So much potential here! Was amazing but feels dated now.

When this app came out, it was everything I wanted in a tablet jam station, but the aesthetic, performance and method for instrument integration hasn't remained current. I think if they showed it some love, it could become a welcome alternative to aum- reduce the highly skeuomorphic look a bit, open up compatibility to auv3 and maintain support for the latest screen sizes and it would be truly competitive and appealing to many people. The spatial/environmental metaphor is extremely well-executed and has many thoughtful touches; it is a rare case where the interface adds to the fun of making music, but is still competent and sophisticated. Here's hoping there is a plan for tabletop, it deserves to live on!

Mr Hexoutt

I updated my MPC to the pro to and now my app is crashing. My auto copies is removed. what do you do? So now i guests I have to wait for the update to this update wow were someone halfway sleep or under the influence of something when they uploaded this update for us Thee user of the product I’ll be waiting have some work to complete, thank you support 🫡🤔
Get this app! Watch the track exports
Commille
Out of the box, making a tune is pretty slick, but I was never confident about the export feature. There's the sound you get during production, but the volume meter is deceiving. You'll find out what's clipping during post-production. Some click or pops are too intense. I uploaded (zen) by the pound on SoundCloud (extremely bass-heavy) because of this ah-ha moment, to lower the master volume. Default, it's set to 100 in production, I'd work through a whole track and then route it through M2 and !$&!:)#...it was so bad, that I would route the output through M2 and begin tweaking the individual sounds. Totally kills the workflow. Anyway, dropping the master volume to mid to high 30s gives you low frequencies for the bass in (zen) by the pound. Very excited to put that track together in Tabletop!!The missing star in the rating: I can't dive into a timeline on iMPC or any other device, copy/cut a sound and navigate to a previous or following loop (while staying in the timeline) without the entire app crashing. I save often! Also, after the most recent update with improvements to iMPC, I can see the frame of the standalone iMPC Pro's transport controls on the iMPC in Tabletop. This prevents me from changing sound banks and tracks, it's rough. Now the 3-D Perform button has "Sequence" and "SQ01 Hook" anchored on top, for example. Try to change a track or sound bank means instant crash. Cooold blooded....Over all, this (app) is the place to be!!!Thx for reading leeonious-update: starting to miss the previous version..I'm in a good groove and I need to create a loop on the fly. The app crashes. Double tap the home button and I see the session from the night before, which is a different song, all together. After selecting it, I can see the range of tunes that I'm working on. Hope an update comes quick...SAVE often. Or more often, for those that already do make frequent saves.
Very good app except for 2 things
Hrhsdrynsdhefb
I love this app to death! However, there are just 2 things in need of repair. 1, the internet connection for purchases. I can’t seem to connect the app to internet no matter how much I try. 2, Using other apps to record and whatnot in this is a little clunky and confusing. I can’t seem to be able to record or transfer anything. Just fix these 2 things and you got a winner!
