    Very good suggestion. I can't ever tell if they give a crap about feature requests or they simply don't respond to them but file them all way quietly.

    I feel they 'read' and 'file' silently. This seems to be the case with the hardware support...
    It even says when you send them an e-mail that all e-mails are read but no response is sent back to the customer.
    (This is at least the case with support for my Electribe 2).

    Of all the apps I have on my iPad Gadget and Cubasis are the apps that have been used the most in the last few months...(Using the keyboard in Cubasis to control the Gadgets is an example of just how much more expressive Gadget could be on it's own).

    @mannix you get two more synth tracks and one more voice track.

    thx!

    AND the ability to edit parameters whilst playing!

    What's up with that IAP sale? iKaossilator doesn't have any IAP's

    It does. It's got one IAP...... €1.99 for EDM

    Where the heck is that?

    Oh come on ! Now Ipolysix, iMs20 and ids-10? Owners of these apps, what is your call? Satisfied?

    I own the first and second there and hardly ever open them. They're cool apps but they are fixed to preset midi channels and listen to all incoming midi signals from anywhere. Useless to me in a multi-app midi setup.

    +1++
    In the 80's I gained extensive experience with both ms-20 and PolySix, and I have no qualms with the actual sounds of the apps. But I feel that Korg, in an effort to give them added functionality, has made them too convoluted and sorely lacking in midi and ease of use. I would like to use them more, but too frustrating to be creative when dealing with the headaches they cause me.

    @TGiG welcome to the disappointed ikaossilator fans club! We're a rowdy bunch. All kidding aside, I noticed that as well. My guess it is just a typo, my hope is that additional libraries or something is coming soon. It should read "the one additional library that we have put in 5 years is 33% discounted".

    Haha consider me a member

    Oh geeze. I see them (it)!

  • @TGiG click on the folder icon in the top left on ikaossilator and go to sound library, you should be able to purchase it there. It's pretty good, fairly priced I'd say. Try not to be too sad when you see the 7 empty slots.

    ... The tall keyboard with velocity adds a level of expression we haven't seen yet in other gadgets.

    Yepp! That's one of the reasons I've been (over at the Korg forums) suggesting better 'keyboard/pads' for Gadget for that added expressivity :)

    Yeah, I've been up-voting and supporting your posts on the Korg forum.
    Gadget desperately needs velocity keys. Fixed velocity makes it sound flat, a thing I notice with many songs in Gadget Cloud. Module has velocity keys, and playing it sounds better then in Gadget.

    iM1 on sale is a no-brainer for anyone using Gadget. Amazing bang for the buck with the IAP cards.

  • IElectribe is a no brainier for me, given that it is pretty much identical to the original (although I'd prefer the iPad skin to be based on the, imho, better looking mkI model). Given that the ER-1 cost £349 in 1999, the app's a bargain.

    iM1 is an absolute steal at its normal price, obviously more so now. I love it for crafting 90s-era Black Dog Productions & AFX-style pads and percussive instruments. The built-in fx are superb too. Very capable of those Selected Ambient Works II haunting pads.

    Sorely tempted by iPolysix also but I really am put off by the archaic implementation of sync and MIDI features. I was really hoping Korg would have added Link (so as not to waster the sequencers in both ipolysix and ims20) & proper MIDI routing by this point.

  • edited July 2016

    I purchased Module, Gadget, iM1, and iKaossilator plus some IAP's for them. The only initial disappointment being the lack of IAPs for iKaossilator (there is only one) but I knew this before purchase. Perhaps the IAP situation for iKaossilator will change, but in any case I bought it because I have the hardware Kaossilator 2, so I'm not wholly unfamiliar with it. Come to think of it, I bought an M1 in 1989 to replace my DX7, so I'm not wholly unfamiliar with M1 architecture as well.

    For hardware keys I now use a Kronos X (what more need be said!) and a Casio PRIVIA PX5S (unjustifiably underrated!) but that's all for another time.

    Agree, I do wish Korg 'merged' the two version (iPhone & iPad) versions into an universal app like they did with Module. I do own both versions. The factory patterns in the iPhone version are 'better' but the UI in the iPad version is easier to use and has a 'tube-knob' that is missing in the iPhone version even though the function can be access via midi. Also I wish the iElectribe got a 'feature addition' that allowed pre-set automation editing like what is possible on the 'real' ER-1 (and ES-1) this would make it easier to create melodic lines/percussion.

  • One crazy ultra plus of iKaossilator: export your stuff as Ableton projects...nutty favorite workflow of mine from a minute ago. If only conceptually, full joy: from one of the most iDevice-y GUIs, whilst sitting in the bathroom stall, to the mighty Live, in a keystroke

    Wish iElectribes did the same...

    Korg stuff, the Gadge and iM1, seem made for playing with in TNR.

    Been thinking of getting ableton for that very reason. Are there stock ableton tools to, say, dress it up a bit, so it sounds less kaossilator ish? How's the audio to midi?

  • I'm still not sold on the iM1... I really really am desperate for some other sounds in Gadget as it's my favourite composing environment. I don't like the Kiev gadget at all - and the Helsinki very much too. I don't think I really like digital, cold sounding synths too much. I've been listening to some more iM1 demos on soundcloud and youtube this afternoon trying to convince myself I can make some kinda use out of im1 - but like I said I'm still not convinced. I've literally heard 1 track posted by somebody here several months ago that tweaked my interest.

    somebody convince me.

  • So Gadget's onscreen keyboards don't include a normal chromatic one with the full complement of black keys, is that right? This is what puts me right off Gadget. I guess all the people who love it must use it with an external controller.

  • They do. You have to choose chromatic. I don't think the program boots up with chromatic chosen.

  • More IAP 's for IKaossilator would be extremely appreciated. Sadly the app has seen only one!

    It's possible to set the Gadget scale to cover chromatic 12-note scale too...

    What's missing is the possibility to play the onscreen keys with different velocity for now...

  • Thanks @Samu. So that's as good as the onscreen keyboard gets in Gadget? I just don't understand how people use it.

  • @markk said:

    It's easy! Just set it to a scale and jam away or draw the notes by hand :)
    You can also choose how many octaves to show at once and how many notes per scale with fewer notes the keys get larger. On the iPhone(s) it might get pretty small but it's fully doable on Air 2...

    The audio comes in very full and up front so good for fooling with. Audio to midi is solid and stable (something only found in MTS on iOS). The cool Ableton toy here is the groove capture, u can come up with some crazed grooves on iKaossilator and make midi templates from them...

  • Hmmm.....Is Link broken in iElectribe? Pressing the icon does nothing on my iPad Pro :/

  • Ah.....rebooted the app and it works now.

    I'll try.

    I don't like Korg sounds in general. They're all too clean for me, and too familiar. iM1's strength is in it's low CPU overhead, due to the engine it employs, and in the Combi Mode this overhead allows. A lot of its sounds are cheesy, no doubt, but when you can layer up to eight of them, then send it through effects, you have thousands of new options. It's the same technique I've used forever on old GM synths— the same midi going to a bell, a vibe, a bagpipe, etc., eventually making the final product my own. The individual sample demos tell you nothing.

  • so which of korgs other apps have the ikaossilator controller in them?

  • I thinks im1 and ids-10 as far as I know. The Ids-10 one sucks though imo. Gate arpeggiator cannot be turned off for notes and it's just not the same. I don't have im1

    @aaronpc is right, layering of given patches, also very deep fx makes for a lot of possibilities.
    Also as someone mentioned upthread , iM1 is a full on synth, with a big playground for sound design, where you can put together sounds, including sounds from other sounds inside the massive library, or from the ground up. I had qualms about this one too (which for me means I wondered about buying it, after I bought it) and after digging in I've never looked back)

    i'm so close... i'll probably break sometime this weekend...

    The thing about Gadget is having all them sounds at your fingertips brings about so many surprises. If you would have told me that I would find a serious place for anything coming out of Kingston in any of my songs I would have laughed in your face. But, you get to playing around, and all of a sudden something unexpected just gels and you end up doing stuff you never would have thought of. It has to do with having everything so easy to experiment around with.

    I had a short bit of buyer's remorse last night. I'm no 80's / 90's fan musically, and never owned an M1 so there was no nostalgia factor. And, not really much in the way of sounds that I couldn't get with my mountain of other apps (though the layering is cool). But dammed if a preset I was messing with didn't lead to a riff that I knew would work in a song that I had reached a dead end on last night ... which actually was inspired by messing around with Abu Dhabi, another gadget I never thought I'd make use of ... and so on.

    In short. You just can't have too many gadgets. At least not so far to me it seems.
