  • Classic Analog Synthesizer Sound

    This is my go to Synth for great sounds like Desert Winds or you can create dual layered leads ,..or deep growling basses. All kinds of risers and explosions are possible,…whatever Crazy sound effects you can imagine ,….you can figure out how to tweak it out of the MS-20.

    Y’all need to update this!! It sounds great and just needs the UI to be redone. It’s pretty hard to use with how it’s designed right now. Also maybe make a mode where you can just use the synth and not have all the groovebox stuff in the way which can get annoying, I just want the synth most of the time, groovebox is nice but when I just want the synth it gets in the way of me just creating sounds.

    Just got this and, I don’t know why I am surprised, but here I am, and this is another great example of a half baked product that the company obviously doesn’t care about maintaining. The interface is not clear and/or easy to figure out, the whole thing is rendering with obvious unintended overlap on the screen of my 2021 iPad Pro 11”, and the user manual does not even appear, when I select it in the menu. This really should be made illegal; if they don’t intend to keep supporting software in the future, a developer should be prevented from being able to sell it, unless there is a given and acknowledged disclaimer that the software will not be touched for maintenance updates. I’m giving it 2 stars because it sounds like it should, but missing 3 stars because the standalone version of the app no longer is functional as a compositional tool, because of obvious neglect by the devs at Korg. I feel VERY disappointed that I threw away $30 on this app. Thanks for nothing, Korg. 👎🏼👎🏼

    Sorry but I don’t use Gadget and never will. It just doesn’t work for me. But your stand-alone synths are awesome and need to be AUv3! Needs to be AUv3!

    High price for an app but definitely a steal. Can I just say one word. MIDI! Put your iPad in an Alesis IOdock and connect a midi device. For example: MAudio keyboard etc. I am surprised they haven’t raised the price on this. The best time to catch it is during the holidays when apps normally go on sale. And thank you so much Korg for the continual updates.
  • AUv3?

    Come on Korg, a synth really needs to be AUv3 these days. So, just do it already!

  • No AB3 and very poor Midi Options

    It’s virtually impossible to use a controller with this app other than the built in keyboard. You can’t send Midi to it, which is whole reason I bought it. Why is Korg so far behind the times.
