Anybody out there seen the new revised and re-released imaschine yet?,it seems to be iMPC all over again just with the orange Maschine pads,four tracks (really only 4 tracks)and some fx,now you would think they should be watching what other apps are doing and not just iMPC (which IMHO is a laughable toy compared to the future promised iMPC PRO and the still awesome BEATMAKER 2)and also with it's features (or lack there of IMHO...)they still want $4.99 for this App,...Wow they obviously aren't paying attention to all the complaints about iMPC to blindly mimic it,but they say history repeats. (Akai MPC-60 released 1988,Native instruments founded in 1996)

iMaschine has been a super basic sketchpad from the start, with a fairly decent bundled library and cheap add on packs. They haven't added much to this update from what I can see.

I can't call it amazing, but it's a nice gadget.

I used to use the original impc until I tried the imaschine. Waaaay better sounds. All around better app. Shame I don't like the actual maschine itself. Wierd. If it had more tracks and an editor, it would be a perfect sketch pad.
