DRM And Apple Music

Works as a drum machine but isn't reliable to use live, there's no point using as a sampler due to the drm issues with Apple music

Middle of the road

Good preset sounds, nice nod to the MPCs defining features with the 16 step option and note repeat.

Needs a half decent sequencer editor though - iOS devices don't really allow for tactile playability and this sometimes results in redundant note stacking on overdubs etc. plus it's just nicer to have that as an option.

Retronyms make good sounding effects, but the included effects feel more like an enticer to check out tabletop than a real attempt to give the iMPC a self sustaining environment.

Soundcloud integration is cool but should be optional. Seeing what people just uploaded can get annoying.

Lots of audio artifacts when adjusting anything.

Awkward

For one of the best workflow hardware devices in the biz this feels incredibly awkward. Bizarre and unimaginative layout with key functions on separate screens brought on through a website style menu. There is no note repeat and swing available on the same screen for example. Why is there a bass drum four-to-the-floor that cannot be removed when recording? Really? Sounds are good but with smarter better apps out there this feels stuck in an early 90's VCR.
