It's enough to get you in business, and some of the drums, in particular, are stonking. The samples consist of Akai classics and iMPC-specific creations, all categorised according to type. As well as programs, there are over 1200 individual samples and just under 90 sequences primed and pimped to demonstrate what the iMPC can do. When you put 16 samples together, you've built your first program, but don't worry: Akai supply a selection ready-made, so you can hit the ground running.
This heavily simplified MPC for iOS runs happily without the Fly and has just four tracks, each with 16 pads to trigger samples. This neat little controller has an integral case, drum pads and iPad-ready compartment, but it's the app, iMPC, which is already available, that we're checking out today. I'm referring to the barrage of recent kit to emerge: the MPC Renaissance and Studio, plus, for the iPad owner, the MPC Fly. With a long and enviable pedigree in hardware sampling and sequencing, the Akai MPC range has finally gone soft.
