Akai MPC2000 App For iPad

Akai MPC2000 App For iPad

Retronymns is working together with Akai to bring an authentic MPC2000 app to their app Tabletop. It will run within the app along with many other useful virtual instruments.

Here is what they said, “The MPC on iPad is going to be a blast with classic MPC beat making features, sweet effects, and a killer sampling workflow, and now you’ll be able to work this legendary device into your Tabletop sessions! Possibly the best part is how it works: owners of the stand alone MPC app will automatically unlock the MPC device in Tabletop for free — no need to purchase it twice!”

Additionally they have partnered up with iZotope to bring a suite of real-time vocal processing tools to future versions of the Tabletop app.

“By partnering with iZotope, we’ll be able to offer Tabletop users the distinctive pitch-shifting vocal effects heard in so many popular songs. Use them to polish & perfect your tracks, or push the envelope and pitch-shift your live vocals to somewhere entirely new. No matter how you choose to use the iZotope tools, you’ll benefit from the same ease of use and modular design that makes all Tabletop devices work so well together.”

These features are coming soon. My guess is they will be in app purchase as additional kit but I hope they are including in the initial price.

Tabletop is available for $9.99

AK-7 Core MIDI Keyboard Controller App

AK-7 Core Midi Controller App

AK-7 Core is an inexpensive wireless MIDI keyboard controller for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. It features a full-size realistic 3d piano keyboard which you can zoom and slide around to find the range of notes you want to play.

It works great with Apple’s Garageband, MainStage and Logic as well as any other DAW which supports MIDI input.

It also includes a switchable piano sound set for practicing anywhere without a MIDI connection.

There are options to change the view between 3d and 2d views, as well as standard MIDI options such as transpose, MIDI channel select etc.

Velocity is adjustable and is based on the position you hit each key. There are pitch bend and modulation sliders on the main screen too. (these only affect the MIDI output, not the onboard sound)

The wireless MIDI works using CoreMIDI so so additional drivers are needed on a Mac. Windows users will need to use a driver such as “rtpMIDI”.

On an iPad, it’s possible to use the Camera Connection Kit and a USB to MIDI cable to make a direct wired MIDI connection to your music workstation if there’s no wifi available.

Supported devices:
iPad 1 and iPad2
iPhone 3GS or newer
iPod Touch 3rd generation or newer

AK-7 Core is available for $1.99
