iPolysix is an analog polyphonic synthesizer that's been carefully designed to take full advantage of the 7.9-inch display of the new iPad mini as well as the iPad. Bringing together a sequencer, drum machine, and even a mixer, it transforms your iPad or iPad mini into the ultimate analog synth studio. Pack an amazing set of early-'80s analog equipment into your iPad, and time-travel back to the dawn of polyphonic synthesizers!

Highlights: ● The world-wide best-selling Polysix polyphonic synthesizer, fully replicated on your iPad ● Use the newly developed Polyseq polyphonic step sequencer to control the Polysix ● A music production environment including two Polysix units, a drum machine, and a mixer ● Dual Kaoss Pads with chordal support make it easy for anyone to play analog synth sounds ● Polyshare powered by SoundCloud lets you publish, share, and remix songs with iPolysix users

● The world-wide best-selling Polysix polyphonic synthesizer Korg's Polysix, a six-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer, went on sale in 1981. While a popular synthesizer of that time was able to produce only five notes simultaneously, the Polysix had six-note polyphony, and its name was an expression of its designers' pride. iPolysix uses Korg's proprietary "CMT" (Component Modeling Technology) to simulate the actual electronic circuits of the original unit, perfectly reproducing the original Polysix.

● The newly developed Polyseq polyphonic step sequencer Polyseq is a polyphonic step sequencer that provides up to 64 steps, newly developed in order to take full advantage of the Polysix's capabilities. Polyseq provides a different operating feel than a conventional piano-roll sequencer or even a step sequencer; it's a new yet somehow familiar experience, as if you were retracing the evolution of electronic musical instruments. Don't miss the opportunity to try out this perfect match; the Polysix+Polyseq.

● A music production environment including two Polysix units, a drum machine, and a mixer iPolysix has been created as a professional music production tool. In addition to two Polysix units, it provides a six-part drum machine, and an analog mixer that's reminiscent of the KMX-8 mixer. You'll have everything you need to produce great sounding music. Surrounded by analog equipment, you'll imagine that you've time-traveled back to the early '80s.

● Dual Kaoss Pads with chordal support The large multi-touch display shows two Kaoss Pads which you can control using both hands to perform music. This enables creative performance even for those who have no musical knowledge. These Kaoss Pads have been customized for iPolysix to allow not only single-note performance, but also chordal playing with just one finger; a new experience made possible only by a combination of new and old technology, the Polysix+Kaoss Pad.

● Polyshare powered by SoundCloud lets you publish, share, and remix songs with iPolysix users around the world Polyshare is a function for iPolysix users to share their songs. It's based on SoundCloud, the song sharing service favored by music creators. You can make your song available to iPolysix users around the world simply by uploading the song directly from the app. You can download and upload remixable tracks. It's easy to enjoy remixing and collaboration with users around the world.

AUv3
     
by Karl MOD · December 23, 2025

I am giving this 4 stars due to no audio unit support. Please update this and others so they can used in Cubasis or Logic Pro for iPad.

Needs an Update. Fix the SoundCloud feature and please add some new presets

Past due for an update
     
by Strizbiz · December 18, 2016

With the one year anniversary coming up in little over a week since the last update, I'd say it's past due for one, nothing major as the synth is what it is, but to make it more iOS 10 friendly, and something that would actually make it a big update, make it able to open in Gadget, or what would be even better, make it an audio unit. It's still a great synth, but let's not get complacent, as we know how apps can get when they aren't at the very least, insured to run with the latest iOS without any hiccups.

For this app, and the others that do not have AUv3 support. It’s time to acknowledge and address your customers. When are you going to implement AUv3 for the rest of your apps? It’s time

This app *used to be* super stable. Per a prior complaint, cloud is unavailable from crashes on ios 9 :( UPDATE Still buggy, and broken cloud on IOS 10

My Favorite IOS Synth
     
by Dan Nitsua · April 9, 2019

The iPolySix sounds great! I’ve been playing synths since the early 80s, and this sounds like it should - analog and very musical.

Desperately needs an update
     
by umami · April 3, 2017

The MIDI functionality of this app is way behind the evolution of iOS. Has very limited IAA support--buyer beware. I would have expected more upkeep from a company like Korg.

Still waiting, KORG
     
by texascrow · May 5, 2025

We were promised an update to make the gadgetized version (Pompei) AUv3. So we upgraded. And we’re still waiting.
