I don't think so. But I never tried. I was just taken aback by the iMPC limits when it released I researched how Retronyms ported it. I was going off the assumption that must have ported at least some code from a hardware OS even if only for the T.C. swing code, but probably a lot more. And it was the 1000 OS that they used parts of.

I had just thought they would make a portable version of the full XL OS with more visual feedback on the screen and no track limits and access to the RAM of your iOS device.

But I think the exported files only load in the Studio/Ren. I never use iMPC. But if anybody wants to upload an export I'll test it in my 1000. Or get bored and maybe try it myself soon off my own iMPC file, but again I never touch it.

The last BM2 update was nice, such a great app.

Yeah iMaschine actually deserves some salt like iMPC. By that I mean what's there is good, but you see much potential.

Also NI has refused to even update it to even non-retina iOS resolution ( :shock: :fku: ), which is just awful. That would take a weekend to code a resolution update. It's still only the original phone resolution and a 2x zoom. It's looks terrible on iPads.

The sounds are good in it though, as good maybe better than iMPC. And I will say it's good for making quick loops you'll mess with elsewhere.

Metatron, do you have a default or test IMPC project I can load up in the MPC 1000?

I saw this on another website and wanted to try it?

Note: All 4 iMPC tracks and programs are combined into one in the exported MPC1000 format project. When you load the exported project on your MPC hardware or in the MPC desktop software (included with the MPC Renaissance and Studio), you'll find that the 4 programs created within the iMPC appare now spread across banks A, B, C, D.

I hadn't read your last post kaydigi, yeah I copy/pasted that same thing in the other thread. I'll hit you up tomorrow and/or post what will likely be a confirmation.
