Awesome!!!!! Will be buying this on Oct. 1st.
Cool, glad to see Ni coming on board. Now, repeat after me - iFM8, iFM8
How about Reaktor and Konkreet Performer?
You could give Razor the Finger!
:O
:D
<3
Yeah we don't want yet another groovestation iPad thingie- we've got Electrify and umpteen other 'cool' apps to do that. Come on NI, robman84 quite rightly points out, we want iFM8!
Come to think about it...
I wonder if Matt Blip is behind this one? The specs are very similar. Chris Hemicube (Jasuto) coded for Moog and that bloke who wrote Xewton made that FLstudio app. Hmm.... I wonder..... That NS iPad version has been a long time in the making! ;)
Funny, i was just thinking about this yesterday, I didn't know NI was about to release apps for the mobile devices! Neat!
Core midi please! Use the maschine mikro to control the app or even the very cheap Korg nano pad.
I hope they get serious enough to implement the function out of the gate or this will be another FL situation were the users will have to petition for weeks to features added in updates.
They have the tools,staff,and history it should be a no brainer but we all know how iOS music apps go,the features we need and want right from the start always somehow seem to get the overlook in favor of other "priority",when the real property is actually overlooked. Hope they have some keen iOS insiders on staff that know what the community actually looks for in iOS music apps. Well see. Didn't see core midi on the spec list......get your petition finger ready.......;)
what no sample import?
somebody wake me when berlin wakes up!
zzzzz
Seriously? No support for the Maschine hardware? No iPad version? What the hell were they thinking.
they thought buy our hardware :/
No native iPad support, no CoreMidi, therefore no lolie NI... When will devs learn to make apps universal..?!
What a disappointment :(
ifm8 wont happen, not with these prices in the app store.
lol, ni & ableton must be scared as hell that they wont be able to sell us their to expensive software anymore
"lol, ni & ableton must be scared as hell that they wont be able to sell us their to expensive software anymore"
Actually no, they are not scared at all.
Massive from N.I. at 199$ has more value than 200 1$ IOS synths. Even their 10 years old synths still have no equals in IOS.
"When will devs learn to make apps universal..?!"
Hopefully the same day Apple leans that access to the filesystem is important (or even just a Shared Documents folder).
"Actually no, they are not scared at all.

how do u know? do sit on their table?!
just u wait, just u wait...
Sounds interesting. Hope they will give us ACP or at least General Pasteboard in future Versions.
What do you think their strategy is? Do you think this is a 'toe in the water' approach? This seems like a novelty app, and considering what NI are capable of, it seems a little weak.
this is marketing for the maschine hardware and software. pure and simple.
No introductory price?
"Pad sampling mode: record your own one-shot sample through the built-in iPhone® microphone"
Hopefully it'll work on my iPad with the io dock......but then it will it have an editor? will still buy it but i guess Beatmaker will be its competition.
I hope this will be universal or at least have an ipad version, as the screen real estate on the ipad is more suited to machine and drum pads in general. I'm extremely happy ni is finally making apps for ios.
You guys are ridiculous. I am a fan of FM and I'd like to see a port, but really, there are probably a grand total of 400 people who use even the PC version. Good thing you guys aren't marketing strategists for NI. They'd have been out of business a long time ago.
LM has the right idea, they see this as a casual market, and they're taking an attitude similar to izotope with idrum.
It looks like fun and I'll probably get it, but they're going for mass consumption / introducing new customers to the maschine brand.
Also, you've gotta be out of your mind if you think Matt would step away from his baby to do this. If it looks like NS, it's mostly because there are interface elemnts that just work. Also, there are only so many ways you can portray 16 pads on an iphone =P
Having seen the screenshots on their site I'm not sure this will look nice on an iPad. I reckon the would make an iPad version if this one becomes popular. In app purchasing is like mini version's of the real thing.
@ last Anon...
Nope, I'm pretty much seated within my own mind thanks very much! :D
although....... :?
:p
Why doesnt Yamaha come with some FM stuff
to the appstore.
Just converting those msx-dos versions to iOs ones
would be fun.
I'd love to see a Casio app! ;)
iCZ would be very cool!
iPlastiCZ! Now that would be very cool!

Perhaps I should write to and beat up the reFX devs a bit?
Great opportunity missed I'm afraid... No iPad version with CoreMidi support - what a shame.
The only reason I can think of for NI not releasing fully featured iPad native iMachine is that it would rival similarly sized hardware and therefore canibalize the sales of the “real” thing. As it is, this app is totally useless for my needs.
"iPlastiCZ! Now that would be very cool!"
Or even better, an app that could host VST's!!
kb: they already did the tenori-on, how much can you expect?
I've always wanted one of those DX200 grooveboxes though ...
I have BeatMaker and BeatMaker2(and I have NI Reaktor).
What for to buy a thing, which worse than I have?
NI were late for some years.
Yours iMachine poor excuse BeatMaker.
Make Reaktor for iPhone, or Jasuto kick your ass)))))
