Just wanted to add my thanks to the list... this is software and an interface that I've been dreaming of for years. I've lost several hours playing with the pre-loaded samples already and I haven't downloaded BeatPack yet. Looking forward to all the possibilities the future of this software holds. Really amazing work!
I'd like to second the request for the ability to utilize the iPhone's mic to record samples, but it won't kill me not to get that.
actually i think the pitch slider on the pads could do with a zero return - after spending ages mucking around with the man parrish vocal samples last night, it took a bit of work to get the pitch back to zero
There is. Select and press set Nomal on the SCALE section. Its not obvious but the two are connected.
Hi from an enthusiastic newbie...
I'd love a step sequencer similar to the 808 and TB303 - with sound banks to match! That way I wouldn't have to trust my lousy timing!
You dont have to enter in real time. In the sequencer looping a blank pattern and entering the steps in the pattern editor is the same as a step sequencer - if not more powerful.
It would be great if the current state was saved on exit to a default project and recalled at startup. Would save a lot of accidental losses of work... yep been bitten already.
Great App! One feature i would like it the ability to use more then one bar loops. Perhaps on the pattern sequencer page, you can drag the screen left to get to the next bar. Again... This is a great app for when i am on the road. I am really enjoying it. A lot more portable and convenient then my Ternori-on.

this is such an awesome app! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> and thanks for not charging some outrageous price. i too would like the ability to create longer loops.
love the app, the one thing i miss is pitch sequencing or pitch mapping to the pads as in: being able to activate a single sound across all pads so that you can play a single sound with different pitches. (bottom left most pad would be like -7 and the upper right pad would be +8) Also a velocity mapping across the pads with a single sound would be cool as well.
*Edit: also think it would be cool to have some sort of a mixer for the output of each track POST effect. The bit crusher is based on how much you drive it, and sometimes can walk all over your tracks.

Never thought of that - thanks! Now to get the sound banks ... and a "glide" between notes!
Big ups to this app. It is the most useful and fun one I have got from the itunes store.
FEATURE REQUEST: NOTE REPEAT as in mpc style note repeat for quick n easy drum track, if this app could do that on the fly like an mpc my mind would be even more totally blown than it was first using this beatmaker program,,, this thing is a beast among beasts
Thank you for this awesome program.....I am new to this and am enjoying the app.every chance I get:)
Looking forward to seeing what else you guys have in store!!!

Yo, This app is soooooo dope!!!! This has the potential to be a really powerful production tool. Pad banks like the MPC would be hot,so you can have more than 16 samples loaded.Gate mode(the sample plays as long as your finger is on the pad) should be an option for triggering the samples. It would be really hot if the pitch could be adjusted in sequence mode. I'm really looking forward to future updates and any other apps you guys are releasing. Keep up the awesome work.
I would love to have the ability to zoom in in the chopper. I would envision it works the same as zooming in on a web site in safari or a photo in the gallery, the two finger sweep. Zooming in in the chopper would enable much more accurate beat positioning. Right now, it sometimes takes quite a while until the beat is exactly where I want.
I would like to have easier selection of the loop region.
right now, when I want to loop 1 min of 128 bpm music I have to scroll from beat 1 to beat 64. That is just not fun after awhile, especially since saving a project does not save your loop region. And every time you reload a project, you have to do the scrolling...
How about a manual (key entry) method to set the loop region?
