iMS-20
Finally jumped in on the iMS-20 sale. (I havent been doing much music in a while due to work).
Am I missing something or is this really only one synth channel?
Comments
If I'm understanding your question correctly, there's one main synth channel, but each of the drum tracks are also on their own channel. So theoretically you could play 7 instances of MS-20 at the same time. This is a very handy chart with CC and MIDI info:

I mean can you assign channnels 2 to 6 as synths? I am going by the what I had on the DS-10 plus.
i had 4 synths channels

Cool chart Mister Miller...
Channels 2-7 are already assigned to synths. The default presets on those channels just happen to be drum sounds. But you can edit the drum sound to create whatever sound you want. It doesn't have the 4 synth channels + 8 drum channels that the DS-10 seems to have, but it does have 7 channels total.
It's a great app but would be even better with midi learn and a Gadget version
thanks. i will have to delve into it more. i was able to do counter point in the DS-10 with the synth channels. was getting worried it only was capable of one synth channel
@JohnnyGoodyear - happy to share, think someone posted it here before. This should also helpful for those who have the MS-20ic MIDI controller (which is also mapped to iPolysix, though some of the knobs are a little counterintuitive... I guess I should make that chart sometime)
Channels 2-7 aren't proper synths I believe... They're a bit like samples. You design the sound while its isolated, then use it after. Channel 1 is the only true synth with working CCs for the knobs etc. correct me if I'm wrong tho~
All channels are synth channels. In iMS20 channels 2-7 are assigned as drums, but outside iMS20 you can set them up and program them as you like.
Are you sure? Like, full synth control via CC in realtime? As far as I know, they are indeed sampled.
Sampled after you exit the synth edit screen, that is. An iPad 1 can run ims20!
iPolysix is doing the same trick with its drum parts too. Try to edit the sound of a part, and you'll briefly see this:
The drum sounds are just synth patches. I haven't tried using a CC controller with iMS20, but I have tried multi channel midi recording in MultiTrackStudio — just assign your prefered patches 1~ 7 in iMS20 and in MTS set up midi channels 1 to 7 and you're ready to record.
Right, but what happens behind the scenes is when you use that patch in a composition on one of the drum channels, the app records a single 'note' of that patch and plays it back in the sequencer.
For example, try the attached patch. In the synth part, each played note will be at a different pitch. However when it's used in a drum channel it will play a single random note repeatedly until you go back and edit the patch.
Channels 2-7 are responding to note info, but are sample-based:
Ah, I see. Didn't realise that.
Anyway iMS-20 is great but it turned into a horrible semi-modular gateway drug for me and now my kitchen table is crammed with synths. Thanks, Korg.
^ should be your review in the App Store. So great.
@dumbledog my kitchen table is crammed with synths good first line for your entry into the angry young man genre, but you'll need something convincing to rhyme with synth (i.e. not plinth).
…or ninth

Yeah, it's a great app and probably the mono synth app with most features but if you look at iPolysix and the Korg Nintendo stuff you can't help but wonder why only one synth channel in iMS-20. Still an awesome five star app.
Plinth:
I'm guessing it's because it was developed years ago for the early iPads with lower specs?
@xen Yeah, that makes sense I guess.
my guess is korg tried to stick to what the original real thing was like. i dont think it had mutipule synths -- but i dont know for sure. i guess i am not comparing apples to apples when comparing it with the DS-10 plus. but still... its pretty cool having multiple synths at your disposal.
It'd be nice if the app could get some love after all this time. Maybe bring in the features from the new desktop version like FM, PWM and the like.
Or 7 synths...
