Sequencer view in Akai's iMPC for iPhoneWe reviewed iMPC for iPad in the March 2013 issue (http://sosm.ag/mar13-appworks) and now, it's available in an even smaller package. iMPC for iPhone is just £1.99/$2.99 until August 15, and also includes an exclusive feature called 3D perform that takes advantage of the built-in motion sensor in the iPhone, permitting users to tweak samples in real time.
More information from Akai Professional follows:
Press Release: Following in the path of the popular iMPC app for iPad, Akai Professional, in partnership with Retronyms, this week released iMPC for iPhone. Priced at just $2.99 for a limited time and including all of the core capabilities of its iPad counterpart—classic Akai Professional sequencing, sampling, and effects—iMPC for iPhone also includes an exclusive feature: 3D Perform, a powerful and innovative control that takes advantage of the motion sensor in iPhone, allowing users to tweak samples in real time by tilting the phone.
With the ability to export directly to SoundCloud®, iMPC encourages beatmakers to share their creations and makes it effortlessly simple to do so. iMPC also acts as a producer’s mobile companion, integrating into their creative workflow with its ability to export tracks for further editing in MPC Software, the powerful and evolving DAW included with Akai Professional’s MPC Renaissance and MPC Studio controllers.
“iMPC is all about creativity ... the world is now your sound library. Smartphones have given people everywhere the ability to take pictures and record video at any time. Similarly, iMPC gives people the ability to capture samples of anything, instantly, and make music on the move,” said Dan Gill, Product Manager, Akai Professional.
As with iMPC for iPad, iMPC for iPhone features Akai Professional’s iconic 16-pad layout, 16 Level Mode, Note Repeat capability, and is able to capture samples in a variety of ways: using the mic on iPhone, using the line input on iPhone, or using the multi-touch turntable interface in iMPC to record samples directly from iTunes or other music libraries. iMPC for iPhone also includes more than 600 samples, 45 editable programs, and 80 editable sequences.
iMPC for iPhone is now available in the App Store with the limited-time price of $2.99. For iMPC’s full feature set, visit akaiprompc.com/impc-for-iphone
