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.

Ratings and Reviews
Good intention, bad execution
When i saw this app, looking through the screenshots I thought to myself, finally there is something even close to a computer daw on the iOS market, and I wasn't disappointed when I open a demo project, there are some basic features of a daw.
However, when I open a new project, I realise what a nightmare the app is. The process of linking the instrument to the mixer is incredibly complex and annoying. Connecting an instrument with an effect takes tremendous amount of effect with connecting the "cables", the idea of "tabletop" certainly looks fancy but it is very hard to organise the instruments.
That's not all, even the basic effect such as reverb has to be purchased, I don't mind if the instruments' price goes, make the reverb, delay and compressor plugin free.
Furthermore, there are still crucial functions missing from the app, plugins such as a better eq that allows more precise eqing and there are no decent house/dance music samples.
In conclusion, for people who's think they can start music production with this app, you are about to have a hard time figuring out how to do everything, if you are a experienced producer like me, you will find the app lack of important feature and the instruments are just child's play. The app is actually decent itself, it's just that I have a high expectation. I was waiting for a app that can run like fl studio or ableton live, and to this day, I am still waiting
Great App some suggestions
This is a great app and I am finding it very useful so thank you. However I am having trouble with managing all the sounds I have audio copied in to the app. I have many “general pasteboard” sounds and I am finding it difficult to find a specific sample. Plus when I have downloaded the audio copy app there is no place where I can copy audio files into there. I can only record with the mic which is pretty much making it unusable so I have to delete the app to be able to start pasting new audio files in. I hope you can change this, otherwise great work.
Hasnt been updated in 2 years....
Better options out there.....was good back in th day. But abandoned, like many, as difficult to make a living from the app store. Sad but true.
