Retronyms has partnered with industry giants like Akai Professional and Arturia to create some of the Tabletop-Ready Apps, like iMPC, iMini, and iProphet! Using the Tabletop features of time stretching and pitch shifting, you can slice loops and time stretch them to different tempos and pitches in iMPC Pro. You can also use sliced loops from purchased AudioCopy sound packs inside Gridlock and iMPC Pro. Loops from these sound packs will automatically match the tempo of your sessions.
Tabletop is an audio playground where you can create beats, compose songs, mix live, make mashups with samples from your iPod library, and more... the possibilities are endless. Plug the output of a keyboard into a delay to add an echo, or wire it up to a mixer and adjust the pan. Chain up multiple effects to create new and evolving sounds.
FEATURES: • 43 devices including effects, sequencers, drum machines, and synths • 14 devices are included for free • 64 bit audio support • Access powerful Tabletop-Ready Apps • Piano Roll style timeline editor • Cut, copy, paste, duplicate, and create notes • Control Tabletop’s keyboards, drum pads, knobs, faders, and other parameters • Correct note timing with Fix to Grid • Edit note length and velocity • Undo changes and edits with Tabletop’s History Menu • Features Core MIDI Support • Works with any MIDI-compatible hardware • Customize control mapping with Midi Learn mode • Connect multiple devices • Share your music to SoundCloud and interact with other Tabletop users

8 of 25Now I just updated my app recently our user is at fault coming on over 10 years now but this update is really disturbing. I have four songs completed. I updated my MPC to the pro to and now my app is crashing. My auto copies is removed. what do you do? So now i guests I have to wait for the update to this update wow were someone halfway sleep or under the influence of something when they uploaded this update for us Thee user of the product I’ll be waiting have some work to complete, thank you support 🫡🤔
I like how you have to wire the devices together for them to make sound together. I think that is a brilliant concept, and I hope they expand on it in the future. This has lots of potential. It takes time to figure how to use it, but it’s worth it when you find out how you can make wonderful pieces of art!
When this app came out, it was everything I wanted in a tablet jam station, but the aesthetic, performance and method for instrument integration hasn't remained current. I think if they showed it some love, it could become a welcome alternative to aum- reduce the highly skeuomorphic look a bit, open up compatibility to auv3 and maintain support for the latest screen sizes and it would be truly competitive and appealing to many people. The spatial/environmental metaphor is extremely well-executed and has many thoughtful touches; it is a rare case where the interface adds to the fun of making music, but is still competent and sophisticated. Here's hoping there is a plan for tabletop, it deserves to live on!
Sorry. Deleting.
I’ve had this app for the past ten years and I love it! However my iPad that I originally downloaded it on was demolished about 3 years ago and I tried downloading the app on my new iPad I got yesterday. The app downloaded but it will not open at all. I’ve made a ton of music on tabletop and I fear all of my hard work will have been done in vain please help!!
This could've been AUM.
Impc isn’t on the AppStore anymore but good app otherwise
I downloaded Tabletop today. Bought the Bundle E at a discount. Purchased XPNDR, and RS4000 and to my surprise they do not work nor do they show up as purchased. One of the synths that I also downloaded, will not show up at all. Every time I try to load it, it refuses to load. I’m running the latest IOS for iPad, the 17.1.1 update. I feel I got ripped off big time. Retronyms Inc you need to fix this or pay me back what I spent. Then and only then will I change my review. Do not let this happen to you. Do not buy this till it’s fixed and updated to the latest IOS for iPad.
