Thank you for your consideration I’ve been a “silent”Ambassador for Novation and there products. My first purchase was The Orginal Launchpad with an Impulse 49 with a LIVE 7 Suite . I’ve continued to Support the Novation Family Software and Hardware adding twos Launchpad X’s, Launchkey 25 MK3, Circuit Trax, Bass Satiation , Max for Live, All the IOS Applications buying the Pro Features And Live Set For each Application when I purchased the Subscription I knew Have to shell out more Cash for renewal however I was extremely taking for A loop when the Subscription came to a End I would not be able to access anything past the point of me being subscribe this seem like completely wrong for many reasons . Not being able to have and option to revisit the projects That we developed seems like comprehensive way to drain the pockets of Consumers. How is this a fair practice. We have Subscription base programs for clothing, Food…..I once had a T-shirt Subscription That was completely awesome for how exclusive it was however when the service Ended They didn’t take my shirts off my backs. The disappointment was definitely a shock for the first time in my long history of my loyalty to the Novation family of Brands . Your Product provides Superior experience in learning the craft and I personally feel that if I buy a subscription I committed myself to all the packages for that year. Looking forward to a response from the team!
Very difficult to restore purchases & transfer to new phone
docrivs
I love Ampify/Focusrite for producing music. I’ve been using it for years! BUT I recently had to upgrade my iPhone due to a cracked screen and I had to use iCloud backup to restore my phone because o don’t have a PC at this time. iCloud backup seemed to work for my Blocs Wave projects and Groovebox projects but not at all for my Launchpad projects. I tried to Restore All of my soundpack purchases. My projects in Blocs Wave are visible but I can’t open them because the app claims that they use sound pack material that hasn’t been restored to my phone in launchpad. However, I believe I have ALL of my soundpack material restored on this phone. So I can’t export my projects into launchpad so that I can perform them and record them and work with them. It’s incredibly frustrating and depressing and defeating. I’m supposed to take my material into the studio in just a couple of weeks and I can’t access it!!! I have not received adequate assistance from Ampify. They should be able to help me get into my projects and restore my purchases but they blame the problem on Apple’s iCloud backup. I’m very disappointed in Ampify’s handling of my request for assistance. I’ve made numerous purchases of soundpack and have been a user for a few years now. I have to give two stars for unsatisfactory customer service. Where would the people who created these products and everyone who makes up Ampify be without their users/customers? I hope that they will do better.
This App Is Amazing, BUT...

I’ve been using this app ever sense it was released onto IOS. I’ve made hundreds of songs with it and had a lot of fun in the process. I’ve seen it go through all of it’s updates and I’ve liked almost every one. I say almost because the most recent one that came through kinda ruined the layout. I’m fine with the more modern and simplistic look, but some of the sounds and effects were basically ruined. Specifically the echo and reverb. I don’t know how to describe it, but I’ll try my best. Before the layout change the echo settings had the correct amount of reverb and echo. After the layout change, the echo was made much longer and the reverb after a while doesn’t end and it just builds up to sort of a droning noise. The echo was also given a much longer delay, and unless you use very specific loops with it, it sounds terrible. The layout in my opinion is over simplified. Before the layout change the sounds were split into very distinct groups, and were labeled. And for a new user it was easy to use and easy to learn. After the change however, they were split into rows, and after a few bug fixes and subtle design changes weren’t even labeled. The only way to tell them apart was color, and for a new user it was confusing and harder to get the hang of. While the new layout in my opinion is a bit over simplified, I’ve noticed a slightly higher fidelity in the various sounds and recordings. I also like how you can now make your own layout and change the individual loops. In my opinion, I’d rather have the old layout. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any improvements. This app just keeps getting better and better, with new sounds being added almost weekly. One last thing, please chill out with the micro transactions. It gets a bit irritating. I’d give this app a solid 5 stars, and would recommend it to anyone trying to make simple royalty free music for almost any application.
This version includes improvements to the Launchpad onboarding experience.
