  • I read the comments etc. so tried it again thinking I may be wrong (that is to my own opinion - there's no wrong or right except for the individual. On trying it again to be fair i still don't like it. It just seems to lack character for me. People always tell me I'm a bit strange so I guess it's just me. Might add it's not that I am anti korg - I do like iMS20. Although I saved up for a couple of years as a schoolboy to go and buy an MS20. Came home with a Pro One instead.
    What does matter with an App is that people like it, can use it and it inspires them to create, so if this App does that for people then that's great.

  • I ended up getting the Abu Dhabi and the iM1 extra packs instead. The completionist in me was calling out last night. Hopefully the Polysix soon, though, I'll never tire of analog synths.

    UPDATE:

    I was on the fence between STROKE MACHINE and POLY6.

    So, I ended up buying IProphet and Isem........................ makes sense right. The price was just too good and they are 2 of the few I still don't have somehow. So, for $5 grabbed em up.

    Then the next morning, I realized I really wanted a "groove" sketch or melody creating app.

    So, to end anymore anxiety or indecisiveness, I bought STROKE MACHINE and POLY6.

    I gave each a 30 minute test drive yesterday morning.

    Then gave POLY6 some time last night. Here is what I got.

    It is perfect for me for these reasons. It allows me to do KORG GADGET style work flow without getting lost. I'm not sure how far I can take P6- but, it may be more useful than some people have indicated. You have to work on this thing. If you are not into dealing with cutoffs and frequencies while tuning a synth based high hat and managing every basic synth parameter for your keyboard stuff- then this isn't for you. I can say, if you are into that, it isn't crazy NAVE or ZED level knob play, it is easy basic stuff. The factory sounds were way better than expected. Although, I am a traditional "NYC" house or groove type progressive music person or more along the lines of NIN all the way to the DOORS or TULL. Probably could eek some funk as well with this.

    In other words, POLY6 is a "short term" yet "full potential" tool for establishing the main ingredients of the meal at the market. Still need to go home, prep, cook, and serve. However, I have what I need to tell myself or guests what is on the menu. Meanwhile, I can snack and "sample" later.

    Sounds good, I've been listening to some Bitchen Bhajas who make lovely analogue noises so maybe I'll treat myself.

    Good deal.

    While out walking the dogs last night, I actually have a thought to grab IM20 this weekend.

    I have this weird pairing of the POLY6 and the IM20 together and push my creativity while being submerged in quality fundamentally classic musica de electronica

    I've got an original MS20, and the ims20 is spot on.

    Just checked the store and the sale's over, so looks like I've missed out on the poly6, again.

  • The only thing I haven't looked into is the MIDI channels and how that breaks down and its usability.

    The only thing that jumped out at me were the limitations of automation on drum synth controls. Maybe I am not seeing something (shrugs)

    The MIDI channel thing is important for 1 reason.

    OSCILAB

    Hands down my most fun and best app I have bought in a while. I think because it is IPhone and IPad? Too many IPAD only anymore. Especially with my 6plus, it can easily handle IPAD apps.

    OSCILAB is a treat.

    I am not a huge SAMPLETANK guy, but......BIG BUT

    OSCILAB with SAMPLETANK while on the fly, say treadmill or waiting around is easy quick fun and inspiration. Quickly changing instruments (all 4 of them) while maintaining beat from OSCILAB's own drum sequencer is EASY fun. NOT complicated. I mean I am on a treadmill doing it. I also then pick 1 synth to play lead like SUNRIZER and record into LOOP TREE and it is well worth the money and my time. It is really one of few IPHONE sequncer like that.

    Key word - fun. Sometimes apps aren't "fun" if you have a lot of channel drama and midi this midi that- no connection here- broken link there.. you know what I mean.

    That's a free review of OSCILAB. No charge.

    There's still a big market, I think, for more synths. (I would buy all of the Arturia V-series if it were available for iOS.) But there's also a big audience for apps that are playful, like games. I think that's one reason Patterning is so successful right now. It's also a reason why guitars are so popular: you don't have to wait for them to boot up, you just pick them up and play.

    See page 49 for midi chart:
    http://www.korguser.net/ipolysix/manual/iPolysix_OM_E2.pdf

    Just like with iMS-20, the drum sounds are at first designed with a synth, then once you exit the sound design, it becomes a midi note-tunable sample based hit. Hence the automation limitations.

    Thanks for your insight.

    This was a great purchase. Fundamentally sound for my taste and musical preferences along with user interface. It works for me.

  • Re MIDI: iP6 and iMS20 are promiscuous and you cannot turn off or change any of the MIDI channels. You can only mute them. Promiscuity means you cannot use tools like MidiBridge nd MidiFlow. So you have to consider those channels unavialable for any other Apps even if you think you are routing to them separately. You can (kinda) use P6 and MS together, but you have to choose which drums you want and mute the others, and you can only use iP6's second synth. So, not hopeless, but very constrained.

    Please let's try to remember that music is the language we all have in common. We are coming from all around the world, with different first languages, belonging to different age groups, and with different levels + approach to socializing. Let's not try to read too much into something that might not be there. RustiK, what's your first language? Solador78, what's your age? @ Everyone else... any Aspies in the house? Have fun with computers and music-!

    You're on the wrong side of this issue. See Rustik's post above.

    Only one person is behaving in a racist way and ruining for the AB forum for non rednecks (and it's the psycho posing with a gun in his avatar).

    How do you like the iProphet? I am on the fence about it. I have the Arturia V collection and love it a lot -- totally my kind of thing.

    Dude. Just take it easy. In the grand scheme of things in life -- this is just a bunch of little cheap apps for an iPad. Why you getting so worked up and using race language. Take it easy.

    I bought it yesterday and am pleased with it - good for evolving pads and gets picked up nicely by my MIDI sequencers to compensate for the lack of an arpeggiator.

    Got it. It's the Good Ol' Boys 'round these parts.

    I know its best not to comment in these matters. I'm sure people could lay distaste at some of my comments, but if you truly believe some comments are out of order, just report them. It makes no sense to comment on thread after thread about the issues you have with someone. You may fall into the trap of becoming that which you have issues with in the first place.

    Huh?! I am Canadian.

    p.s. And yes, I am also a big fan of Randy Newmans' "Good Old Boys". One of the best records released under the Warner Bros/Reprise Mo Ostin era. ;-)

    After buying ISEM and PROPHET same day, first impression

    May have been ok with just the ISEM

    May have actually survived without ISEM as well. LOL

  • @RustiK said:

    I like both, not essential but nice to have a play with. I think I might use iProphet more than I have iSEM, though I do like that one, as it's a bit more straightforward

    Let me give another whirl and pay particular attention to the pads like you say.

  • I got iSEM and I got Arturias Oberheim SEM. The collections one is a bit better but iSEM very good.

    Once you get the collection you start to go crazy with all the options that are available to you.

    Yeah... That quote was not attached to this thread. You came in on a totally unrelated thread, and took him to task on something innocuous, because he's left a bad taste in your mouth, in some other thread.

    But now you expect us to understand this, and upbraid us for finding you hostile and irate. We are not omnipresent; capable of interpreting context where none is really evident.

    Got a problem w/ another topic? Flag it, and avoid leaping into threads where Rustik is clearly the TC.

    If your beef is w/ his racist rhetoric RE: Ferguson, then take him to task for that... In THAT THREAD. But don't juke around it and pretend it's his "click bait / Buzzfeed" style that got you upset. That's pretty disingenuous.

    For the record, I agree that his post was ignorant, and in terrible taste. I chalk it up to ignorance, though, because the guy is clearly not American, his the empathy level is in the basement. This is OUR embarrassment, and our mess to fix.
