Not sure if it is useful for anyone, but I really wanted to use my LPD8 with IMPC properly or as well as possible.
I have managed to map the IMPC app without using midi bridge or tabletop and seeing as I could find just about no help or info on the subject I thought I would share what I had found and the preset.
And yeh, it was a pain in the arse. It basically only accepts note on commands and translates those within IMPC to controller commands (...or so it seems)
Tips and info:
This is setup for just one LPD8 to give complete control of IMPC, but it involves bank switching. Personally I found it more useful to use an unnamed controller with 16 pads to drum and the LPD8 as a dedicated controller. I will try to find a way to share those setups also, but this is probably not the best place for presets for non Akai hardware.
1. Note repeat is a toggle, go to bank 4, activate then go back to the drumpad bank to drum with repeat on.
2. 2 x LPD8's would probably work great, and the images are in the zip file so you could easily remap 2 of them for better control.
3. Fine Control is not working, neither is sequence select (yet) I am working on trying to see if its possible to control volumes (although there appears to be no midi info sent or received, I also don't see those controls on the MPC fly, so probably not doable)
4. This means if you use time correct or 16 levels you will still need to touch the screen to select or change the rates or effect.
