Estimated Time For iPad App?

edited August 2011 in General
Hello. I love BeatMaker 2. It is golden. I heard that the iPad app was coming soon after the iPod/iPhone app as a universal app. I figured since it has been a few months since the initial app release, that It was alright to ask is there any insight as to how much longer it will be before the iPad version is complete?

Thank you in advance.

    Several threads on this already, just look around a bit and see discussion about iPad release. My guess is sometime in July.... But really no one knows.

    its in the beta stage right now, it says it in one of those post. but it should be within a month or so. be patient because it will be well worth it plus they are adding coremidi too. hope that helped

    Hi,

    We're pretty confident we'll be able to send BeatMaker 2.1 to Apple around mid-july.

    Cheers,

    That is cool, looking forward to it.

    I really hope the effects have been addressed and maybe a few more added as well as some audio tracks. I dont use other gear with beatmaker so I dont really care about midi and 2x to fill the ipad screen really doesnt bother me! In fact I am worried about what would be done to make it an ipad version?

    I noticed your tweet earlier today.

    Other than iPad support, what can we expect in the 2.1 update?

    I would buy beat maker 2 right now if it were hd. Will 2.1 have an hd version for iPad?

    Hi,

    Yes, BeatMaker 2.1 has native iPad support (HD). Coming really soon now.

    Cheers,

    Will the upgrade be free for those who purchased it on iPhone and have it on iPad?

    And now we are in the month of July can we know when the update is coming out? And please a better answer than "SOON" you been saying that since BM2 came out. Thank you

    I am not with Intua, but from what they have said I would say sometime this month. As a Nanostudio owner that has been hearing from the developer of Nanostudio that there would be iPad support, I am excited about BM2. You see Nanostudio has been saying it for a year, yet nothing.

    Give the Beatmaker crew a break, it looks like they are going to deliver soon <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    BM2 is already the best, it's just going to be better....

    will the update also include FULL BM1 compatibility? will i be able to import my BM1 projects seamlessly into BM2?

    also, what about non-destructive chop?

    Hi,

    We're currently preparing everything for the 2.1 release and it is only a matter of days before we send it to Apple.
    The new features list will be made available here as soon as the app is uploaded.

    Cheers,
    Colin

    I know I'm being impatient here... but just have a small question:

    Did you guys implement the soundfont option many asked for?... If so, I'd like to start converting some patches I have from other formats to this one as it will take me some days while Itunes approves the new version.

    Regards!

    He posted that on the 18th. He said it was a matter of days before they send it to apple, and on estimate, it takes a week for apple to approve apps, so even if they had sent it out the exact day they posted that, we most likely wouldn't have see the update until tomorrow, the 25th (an exact week from the 18th). But, as sir Colin said, It was a matter of days, which I'll guess is around 3-5 days, before they send it to Apple... so I wasn't expecting anything no sooner than Friday or Saturday... Christmas in July, haha. If not, I still know it's any day now. If anything, let's throw out positive vibes that Apple gives the app a quick release & approval.

    It is coming.

    And since we do not see the new feature list, we know that it has not been uploaded to Apple yet. Hopefully it will be available early August..... Perhaps August 3rd, my birthday <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

    Hey Intua.

    How is the update going? Could you share with us the actual status?

    We are both waiting for 2.1... me and my ipad! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

    Yes Intua, was there a set back in the delivery date? don't leave us hanging, we are anxious. I'm about to jump off this 10 story building with a towel around my neck as a cape. I'll jump if I don't get the IPad HD version in a couple days. Nah I'm joking. But an update would be nice. thank you Intua.

    it's coming guys.

    apple has said numerous times that it usually only takes a week to turn an app around for approval.

    colin of intua said on the 18th that they were days away from submitting the app to apple, so there is no way possible it would already be in the app store. the "where is the update" posts are about 5 days early, haha! love.

    i know time seems long, but it's only been a week since colin said it'd be a few before submitting to apple.

    We know that najural. The point is it has NOT been submitted to Apple yet.

    It's not many of us guys who hang around this forum waiting for some news... if Intua guys only noticed that a community is something to value, they would keep us relaxed with a few pointers on where the update is going... then again... They've never done it, and what they don't figure is that bad PR is risky business... maybe keeping us all tight and nervous around the release is they're marketing strategy... a poor one at best, imho... We human's seem to be always on a whim... if the we wait too little for the whim... we don't value (like with women... hehe)... but... and this is a big BUT... if we wait too long for the whim... with no feedback that it will come... then we start loosing interest in it too... at some point... i'm not there yet... half way there...hehe... hope this guys find a way to raise their game when it comes to this community.

    I would even settle for a ok! I sent it to apple statement, then I would sit in my corner and chew my nails for a few more days. But no response and its been a week.

    Hi,

    We're all eager to see BM 2.1 hitting the App Store, so here is a little explanation:
    while performing the last tests, we found out a couple of issues we'd like to iron out before sending it out to Apple. These are not big issues so it should not postpone the release date that much.

    Here's a picture we took the other day of BM 2.1 with a connected MIDI controller:
