Korg Romplers - Surprisingly deep

I've been using iM1 in Cubasis since the AUv3 update and as I normally use it as a preset machine in Gadget, I didn't realize how utterly deep these apps can get. There are sooo many "modulation" options, even if it's not true modulation.

This prompted me to look into iWavestation and it seems similarly deep.

I've made tracks just using iM1in Gadget but I'm thinking of spending the rest of the year just locking in on these two apps and learning them inside and out as workhorses. Really getting my money's worth :D

Anyone else utilizing these apps heavily in their productions?

  • I have used iWavestation extensively in Gadget songs years ago.
    A very deep synth indeed!
    Not the most pleasing to use and creating new wave sequences is a chore compared to the much more modern desktop Wavestate, but it's very rewarding and the choice of waveforms and multisamples is literally endless.
    For me it's the synth closest to a Roland D-50 on iOS, apart from the obvious vintage hardware Wavestation.

  • Is Korg iM1 really a 100% Rompler??

    As I have have apprehend M1/iM1 is a mixed synthesizer between wavefiles and modulations and FX…

  • it's both

    All these 80’s / 90’s Romplers are very capable synths. They make the best pad and soundscape machines. The hardware got a bad rap because of the horrible cryptic interfaces, but under the hood they are amazing synthesizers.

    It's emulating the 90s circuitry. all of the sounds themselves are samples and no matematically generated waves (the ROMpler part), running the same mathematical algorithms on it that the modulations and FX used on the original M1, and a digital simulation of the DAC

    IRC the DAC simulation part is kinda not entirely accurate to sounding like a real M1, but in part that makes it sound a lot cleaner and more usable in modern day

    In my world, the iM1 on my iPad Pro sounds way better then my 35 years old Korg M1 hardware…
    The hardware is noisy and a little dull, but, probably it sounded better the first 10-15 year of it’s life…

    I had that happen with my guitar.
    Try changing the strings.

  • iM1 plays a big part in my live setup. It's also incredibly efficient for cpu/ram usage, which is one of my top needs.
    Yes, it's weird (what's the real difference between combi and multi ? 🧐) but it has its charm !

    Does the M1 have any
    old memory card presents like The "Analog Collection?"

    All the classic Korg cards are present as IAPs

  • I hope you are not asking me… LOOK! New synth app!!!!

    You can use a 'Combi' to layer multiple sounds, do key/velocity-splits etc.
    'Multi' was originally intended for sequencer usage where each part could respond on a separate midi-channel.

    The iOS version of iM1 doesn't have the multi-out capability present in the desktop version of M1.

    But yeah, iM1 especially now that it's gotten AUv3 support is once again a pretty nice tool to have in the box and the extra cards do contain a sh*t load of additional waveforms and presets to play with.

    That's great!

  • @Antos3345 said:

    If one loves the 'Korg Sound' iM1 and both IAPs are well worth it!
    One of the IAPs includes all the sounds for the Korg T1 line-up...

  • The iM1 sounds better then the original because of better effect routing.
    Combis could only use 2 effects in total. Now in iM1 any voice in a combi can have its own two effects.

  • Thx @Samu for the clarification. When you say multi out capability of M1 vs iM1, are you talking about the FX routing or the general separate midi channel ?

    No, real multiple audio outputs from the app/plug-in so each sound can use a separate track in a DAW without having to load multiple instances.
