The above is a user review from iPadLoops. The press release from Akai is below.
"The idea was to do a review of the new features in iMPC Pro version 2 but it's also a first impression video as I did NOT have iMPC Pro version 1 before this. I used five instance of Enkl by Klevgrand to create a groove and melody to demonstrate using audio units in iMPC Pro 2. We also have a quick look the new UI design and audio track recording. Perhaps I touch on more features in a different video."

"AKAI PROFESSIONAL® DELIVERS IMPC PRO 2, A POWERFUL NEW SONGWRITING TOOL FOR MOBILE MUSICIANS
Developed in collaboration with Retronyms, iMPC Pro 2 brings audio track recording, with powerful production tools and the iconic MPC workflow to iOS devices.
Cumberland, RI USA (December 14, 2017) — Akai Professional, a leading manufacturer of music equipment for performers and producers, today announced the official release of iMPC Pro 2. Following up the original groundbreaking app, iMPC Pro 2 elevates song production for all mobile musicians by adding new track types and enhancing the beloved drum tracks feature from iMPC Pro.

Inside the audio tracks, users can instantaneously time warp, pitch shift, and rearrange their audio clips to their liking. The sophistication of real time manipulation is captured in a simple workflow and sleek interface. Users can choose from multiple input sources, including external mic channels, hardware audio interfaces and Inter-App Audio.

'iMPC Pro 2 represents the next stage of evolution for the iMPC series,” said JP Walton, Co- founder of Retronyms. “It takes the classic beatmaking workflow found on the original and adds something we've been working on for a long time: the ability to rap or sing over the beat you’ve produced. This evolves the mobile beatmaking app concept into a more complete song creation tool. It has synchrony with what Akai has been working on with MPC desktop and their hardware as well.'
iMPC Pro 2 is available now on The App Store for $24.99. For a limited time only, existing iMPC pro users can upgrade to iMPC Pro 2 for $15."
