this looks cool!

bought that in a heart beat. heres hoping importing renders from other apps gives you access to start and end times. seems like a feature missing from most of the ios samplers ive seen. about to find out in a minute

On it, thanks Chris.

initial impressions : pretty bad ass, definitely worth 6.99. wish it had a song mode or something to automate the order of sequences. part of me is spoiled by how quick my maschine copies and swaps samples between pads, and this is considerably slower, but compared to an actual older mpc the load times arent bad and the load times are quickly forgotten in light of how convenient this thing is. not sure yet if this thing has choke groups. the way you can sample your itunes collection with a virtual turntable is pretty cool.

yeah no choke groups. if they add choke groups and a sequencer for the patterns in the next update ill totally shell out the cash for the hardware controller akai has to accompany this. even with those deficiencies, this is pretty capable. gonna go load my ipad up with some vinyl rips
