I don't recall any. I just don't care for the cable obstruction and the panning/zooming on my lil tiny 9.7" ipad. It feels kind of cheesy, silly, annoying etc. to me. Dust and scratches, I tend not care about that stuff.
Haven't done it myself, but you need to use iTunes to put the file in iMono/Poly's map.
Page 65 manual: Import
This imports data from the KORG Legacy Collection Mono/Poly.
The data imported can be written to the iPad and loaded into the iMono/Poly app, using iTunes software on a computer.
Sound is a bit subjective. They both sound pretty great to me. I prefer Montpellier by quite a big margin because:
Thanks. I tried this but it didn't work for me.
The bank doesn't show up in Gadget/Montpellier though, only in the standalone app.
I know @Samu has installed additional banks, maybe he can help?
Also check out the description in his link
Got it! Thanks very much, @R_2 .
Someone did a iPolysix - iMono/Poly comparison:
thanks. this helps.
Thanks Matt. Processor power might prove a factor due to me running it on an Air1.
I'd definitely get Montpelier. The presets are also a bit better IMO...
Hey, I really like all that sound..
mind to talk about how you did that?
All produced on iPad?
Tasty!
Is there any info on the standalone version of iMono/Poly getting midi in for it's parameters?
I see that the gadget version has midi for parameters but this doesn't appear possible in the standalone.
Quite disappointed if I'm not able to use a midi controller for it.
This would break the deal for me.
Also, can somebody confirm that the volume always restarts from zero if you add another note to a held chord in poly mode, given there's any attack time set?
Here's the manual, it doesn't look like it, you can assign midi in for some modulation sources. But nothing about the other parameters. I'm hoping they are there but not listed, have you tried many random CC's?

Definitely worth pestering Korg about this as that's pretty bad. The manual even refers to it as iM1 at one point so it's all a bit rushed I think...
Thanks for listening to the track. It's all done in Gadget with 4 instances of Montepellier, 2 Recife and 1 Abu Dhabi.
From what I can tell, iMono/Poly only has 4 'slots' for you to choose which CC's can be used.
This seems crazy to me.
As far as apps go this is premium pricing, and for a synth app in 2017 to have such limited midi connection shows a real lack of understanding.
Actually, it's not even that really. The midi control is there and available in Gadget Montpellier, so why not in the standalone app?
That doesn't work either. In fact I don't think Korg have ever put in midi learn in any of their iOS apps yet, they are getting a bit behind as a premium app developer.
+1. Though I prefer the sound of a Korg, the iMini could teach them a thing or two about MIDI implementation.
Each VOICE starts from zero but if you're holding a chord, the held notes will continue to sustain.
I don't want to confuse things because it can be difficult to describe. Basically, the synth behaves perfectly fine in poly mode regardless of your envelope settings. The from zero behaviour only really poses problems in mono mode.

This behaviour in poly mode implies further deviation from the original synths architecture. There is only one volume envelope for all voices originally. That's why it's called MONO/poly after all. So what about the filter and its envelope, is it also per voice now? Full poly synth?
There's a polyphonic mode, called Poly, and a four-voice paraphonic mode, called Original.
Nice, but yet the volume envelope is always starting from zero as in "Original"?
Yes, unfortunately. I emailed Korg about it and they responded, but I don't have high hopes for an update.
I know in my heart that I'm blowing it out of proportion but this envelope thing impacts playability in a big way. This is why I kept my R3 rather than trading it towards a Minilogue.
Korg replied?!
Which email address did you use to contact them?
Was it a stock .... 'we'll refer it to our team' response?
I used my personal address, an iCloud account. They said that the app intentionally deviated from the original hardware in a few ways -- for instance, it now has a VCO Semitone control -- but they would pass my request along to the relevant team.
It was a personalized response with a disappointing ending. But they did address the tuning "issues" with Odyssei, so maybe they'll get around to this one as well.
That's cool.
I was actually hoping you could tell me which of korg' s contact addresses you used. Cheers.
I was very close to buying the app, but this and the lack of MIDI control in the standalone/missing arp in the gadget kept me away.
I dearly loved the original, bought it from my first ex girl-friend together with some memories, some time after our splitup. Sold it later because at the time I considered it being too bulky for my new plans going live. Always regretting.
@jrjulius Thanks for the address.
I got a reply from Korg...and it was a good one!
