Retronyms along with Akai announced a new update for iMPC app. The app has some features like mute groups with improved sample edit accuracy. Looks like Retronyms is trying to build the apps muscle taking it from toy app to something pro. Can’t wait to try new features. Here is what they have to say.

32-bit and 24-bit audio files now show proper waveform graphics in Sampler windowTurn your iPad into an Akai MPC. With more than 1,200 samples, 50 editable programs, 80 editable sequences, and iconic MPC workflow, iMPC is the first app to bring all the functionality of a classic Akai Pro MPC to your iPad. Developed in partnership with Retronyms, iMPC includes everything you need to create a beat quickly and easily, including built-in effects, plus the ability to create new sequences and record and overdub beats. Time correction from 1/8 note to 1/32T with variable swing, and Note Repeat from 1/8 note to 1/32T with latch control are also built in. The app’s built-in sampler can record samples three different ways: using the mic on the iPad, using the line input on the iPad, or using the multi-touch turntable interface in iMPC to record samples directly from iTunes or other music libraries.
