8 of 25A splendid reproduction, and delightful to tinkle with.
Wanted to use this with my hardware ms-20 but no midi support out. Waste of money. Doesn't seem like Korg will add it. The arp and sequencer are very cool what a shame.
Gadget please or a dedicated sequencer, need to sequence
why im1 install ok iphone. this not ok. give me back my money.
This app undoubtedly captures the pure essence of the legendary MS-20! I've used Korg products for many years and I know their sound very well. This is the most practical way to get "that" sound in an affordable and user friendly way ... period. An amazing tool - so much fun too!!
sounds fantastic, the ms20 is a classic, but i am really disappointed by the lack of auv3. I wouldnt of got it if i realized it didnt come with an 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.
Dope!!!
