8 of 25Works well with my korg fm volca and po-14
Overall I like this but there have been times it seems to cut off at the end of a bar, then I have to restart my iPad. It does sound great, and you can make some killer loops with it.
If you update, I will add more stars to my review. Abandonware 💩
Sadness!
I thought this would be a software version of the EMX1 because they skinned it to look like it, even including the tubes. However it doesn’t have a fully functioning synth, Lacks the ability to sequence melody and also lacks the ability to input drums organically by playing them. It’s a cool idea but more of a cash grab by Korg than an actual software version of the machine. Get Grooverider GR16 instead. It’s a real groovebox.
Itunes transfer doesn't exist anymore and you can't share ("bounce") to Soundcloud as stated in the description. IElectribe for iphone can send audio clips to anywhere but not this app for iPad. Korg, please update this iPad app. At this price, it is totally unacceptable to ignore the need to keep it updated.
I know a lot of people probably forgot about this app or pass right by it because it’s extremely old, it doesn’t have AUV3 capabilities, and it’s pretty limited in comparison to other groovebox apps like this. That may lead some to believe this is a relic or not necessary and thus not an app worth checking out. I completely disagree. Korg has their summer sale going on so for ten dollars I finally decided to give this a try and I am NOT disappointed. I’ve seen others refer to this as a toy but that is not at all accurate. I think people forget that sometimes having a very focused, very accessible limited tool is one of the best thing for creativity. I’m having so much fun programming this and coming up with absolutely whacked out sounds, deep sub heavy bass and trippy drum grooves. This is an app I’m going to spend a lot of time really mastering because the motion recording and fx sending seem to be very rewarding. People also have this weird imaginary block now where everything has to be AUV3, but this app has IAA, which means I can still open it in AUM, feed it into Koala Sampler, chop up my performances and get even crazier results. iOS music making is like having a digital modular environment with infinite possibilities to make some really unique stuff. Sorry for the long rant but I had to give this amazing rhythm box a five star review and ask myself here in 2023 why I waited so long to cop this.
This is without a doubt an almost perfect Korg iOS system. So much stuffed into this system its like a new play land all the time. A new world opens a door to another room and then another dimension, then Bob Moog walks in and starts tuning in the parts that need shaken with those warm tubes and oscillators. Jam Hammer, and Alan Parson breezes through for a jam. Its like am old jammer mixed into one beat machine. And then I can play it as a synth. Thank you. 🙏🤧🙏
