iMPC Pro 2 Bug Fix Update

We want to thank all of our Mobile Music Makers out there for reaching out to us through support@retronyms.com to bring our attention to the fun bugs that have popped up as Apple has added improvements to iOS 18. This week, we are happy to release a bug fix update to iMPC Pro 2 to see it optimized for iOS 18 production flow. 

In this update, we addressed a few big bugs that didn't allow some music makers to save their mixing and mastering settings in projects. There were also others who reported they experienced iMPC Pro 2 crashing when trying to save a projects. We've fixed these major bugs and are happy to report that iMPC Pro 2 for iPad and iMPC Pro 2 for iPhone is optimized for iOS 18.5. 

Please reach out to us if you encounter any issues in your mobile music making experience!

Behind the Beat: The Original iMPC

As we continue to keep the beats flowing on the iMPC Pro 2, we want to take a look “Behind the Beat” and remember how we changed the game with the release of the Original iMPC.

The original iMPC powerhouse is still the truest digital interface of 16-pad beatmaking experience, which was pioneered by Akai Proffesional decades ago. It’s awesome to know there are countless mobile music makers who regularly use iMPC on their production flow.

In this reel from @buxuselbeatmaker, we see how this mobile music maker is still finding creative ways to experiment on the Original iMPC.

“I fell in love at first sight with the iMPC. I always have it handy, and every time I come up with a new beat idea, I grab my iPad and open this super app. Using this app again made the beat-making process vibrate more organically, reconnecting with the wonderful feeling of playing an instrument in a mobile environment.”

You can still find THE iMPC on the apps store for iPad and iPhone.

Part of the Elemental Vocals Series

100–110 BPM

37 Loops

71 Vocal One Shots

Water Elemental Vocals

For the first Retro Rewind, we want to take you all back a few years to the release of the Water Elemental vocal pack from Kenya Grace before she became one of the biggest independent artist in the world. She has one of the most mesmerizing and distinct voices we've heard in a long time and she put it on full display in her series of Elemental Vocal sound packs in AudioCopy.

72-Hour Beat-making Challenge

We thought it would be fun to reach out to a few mobile music makers in our global community with a fun challenge. We gave them the Water Elemental Vocal sound pack and asked them to come up with their best beatmaking video in only 72 hours. @buxuselbeatmaker , @judahusedtomakebeats and @yo_whatupwithyou accepted the "72 hour" challenge and you can go check their submission over at @retronyms on instagram. 

How would you handle a 72 hour challenge? 

Let us know if you want to put your hat in the ring for the next 72 hour challenge!
