iVCS3 vs iMS-20 vs Wavemapper
I'm going to be purchasing all of these before the month is out, so I'm not worried about Korg's sale ending anytime soon. However, here's my question, what should I get first to play with - iMS-20, iVCS3, or Wavemapper, and why?

I like them all, but of the 3 I'd say the iMS-20. It's got the built in sequencer and song mode, along with multiple tracks to work with, and Kaoss Pads for note input and sequencer control.
The patch panel can be confusing, but this guide helps:

Purely personal: I have all three and have used IMS at least an hour (maybe five) for every minute I've spent with the others....
Wavemapper can do a lot in a controlled way and is fun for making own sounds out of samples (the time-corrected-sample feature), not very intuitive, but more intuitive than iMS-20 (wavemapper takes some advantage of ipad format, iMS-20 has "real" buttons).
Apples, oranges, and bananas.

So different ! Buy the 3, you would not regret so many possibilities and wonderful different textures.
If I had to keep only 1: my choice go to the savage, sometimes inpredictable, but always extraordinary iVSC3 !!
There should be some sort of personality test based on what app you would choose....I may be past it as the idea of savage, sometimes inpredictable makes me tired just thinking about it...probably a fair assessment though for the young at heart.
Lol @JohnnyGoodyear ! Sometimes I know exactly the sound I want, so I know what program to use to be served right away. But at other times, I agree (strongly agree) to be a bit "shaken". I love surprises. And sonic surprises that make me forget what I was doing, and enmènent me away in astonishment and pure pleasure, that, yes I love it! With iVCS3, it often happens like that. And this pleasure is priceless.
... And I must say also that the so talented and creative developer of iVCS3 deserves its place alongside venerable "monsters" like Korg and Co.
iVCS3, you'll need the extra time for it to locate and properly improve your groove
I don't have Wavemapper, but the iVCS3 and iMS20 are both awesome. But for sheer usability I would get iMS20 first because of its in-app sequencer and 7 channel midi out capabilities.
I don't have Wavemapper either but can confirm the iVCS3 and iMS20 are essential apps if you're into classic vintage synths. As others have said the iMS20 is a good, solid, usable synth whereas the iVCS3 is good for losing yourself in space for a few hours and then wondering why your tea has gone cold.
I'm gonna leave the poll open for a couple more hours mates. :-) Then when I close it, I'll let you know what I purchased.
WaveMapper I rarely use I know not enough about it to say if it's better or worse it's probably just too different to compare.
I'm not a huge fan of the iVCS3 I'm sure it's a great emulation I just don't think I would love the hardware either. I like vintage but VCS3 is too vintage, like before they figured out how to design synths to be fun.
iMS20 I had tons of fun with, it's a great app, I didn't think I would ever understand the patch bay until I saw the AutomaticGainsay YouTube series on MS20. A must have in my opinion.
iVCS3 really comes alive when you map a hardware controller to it.
Love iMS20 too but no midi learn so you are basically stuck with the set mapping (or maybe you can reroute CC messages with an app, haven't tried this yet) and Korg is pretty bad at updates, I think they should spend a bit of time on updating this app.
All three are great so get them all, but I guess iMS20 first as it's on sale
Regarding Korg, they're okay.
At least they update their apps frequently enough and have a decent customer service. I'm sure the company behind iVCS3 is also fine as well as PPG.
If you want to talk extremely lousy customer service and non-existant updates, let's talk Cakewalk! z3ta+ has an extremely irritating bug regarding preset export, and to me that makes it unusable. I always back up my presets (and Gadget projects) to dropbox (or itunes and then dropbox via pc if direct dropbox upload isn't possible). I asked Cakewalk multiple times, and nothing!
Well said , plus the iVCS3 is capable of making some incredible sounds and is much more experimental than iMS-20.
Plus ape soft is really good for updates and fixes
Couple of great things about Wavemapper: has support for Poly aftertouch...lots of fun being played by TC-data. Also has great automation for evolving preset changing on the fly
