Fun app but I need help

If one of the developers could help me with something I would greatly appreciate it. Had a lot of fun playing on this app, but I got a new phone and I don’t know how to get the tracks from my iPhone X to my iPhone 13. I understand that I probably can get Ableton and do it that way, but is there anyway I can get it from phone to phone without downloading or buying Ableton? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Like other reviews have said it’s not incredibly intuitive but once you play around with the app for an hour or so it’s a lot of fun and a generated some great ideas.

Hello. Thank you for contacting us. Inside the Settings menu (gear icon) there is an option called "Backup / Restore" in which you can create backup files from the old device song, copy it to the new device and then restore it.

Please fix the freeze issue dev’s know about

Edit: this is easy to make freeze. The devs have replicated the problem. But haven’t solved it yet with an update. Don’t they love a puzzle???

Old review: Very fun. Quantize options are great and I like how it works. Happy accidents abound when you tap and slide faster than the quantize setting, resulting in an interesting arp effect. Wish for scale options to differ per part (or at last wide and narrow options) but I get the idea of keeping everything global and it makes the loop mix function work quite well. Genius app. Have made a lot of danceable and fun music with this.

Gate arp please. Will change review.

I own three versions of the hardware Kaossilator, a Kaoss pad, and the new NTS1 Kaoss. All of the Kaossilators have a gate Arp -except this app which I have owned since day one and I have contacted Korg at least 15 times regarding this and have updated my review many times. Why can’t they add one? Why is it so hard? Make it an in app purchase and I will buy it. Don’t get me wrong- Kaossilators are all touch screen so it isn’t a huge leap for a touch device and they pulled it off well except for the arp. They even allowed the option of turning of the flashing lights as requested by many users they never listened when users asked for an arp. Gate arp! The 13 th year in a row I have requested.... please!! I did pay full price for this app when it came out, which was quite a bit to pay for an app that many years ago. Come on Korg don’t abandon this app… it’s only back in the top 100 because it is on sale and it still has not even had an update in three years!! it isn’t like you have to rewrite the entire app just put and arp in it!!!

Needs updating for 5 stars

Some new sounds, beats and midi I/o (notes) to keep this fresh. It feels like 10 years waiting for an update

Gate arp please

I own three versions of the hardware Kaossilator. They all have an arp. I have owned this app since the day it was released and in every review and correspondence I have begged for a gate arp. Why can’t they implement one? I would pay an in app purchase for one. It makes this app useless and I never use it. I own all of Korg’s apps and this one is the most crippled out of all of them. Don’t get me wrong- Kaossilators are all touch screen so it isn’t a huge leap for a touch device and they pulled it off well except for the arp. They even allowed the option of turning of the flashing lights as requested by many users they never listened when users asked for an arp. Gate arp! The 12 th year in a row I have requested.... please!!

Fantastic! But shared doesn’t work anymore

This app is great. It has awesome sounds and it’s great when it comes to making a song but when I try to look at shared tracks, they don’t seem to load at all. I don’t know if this is only me but if it isn’t, can you update it by any chance?

WAS really good

The app used to be really good but has been forgotten by Korg, no updates have been made in years so is slow and not working properly

IKaossilator

Ina decades long search for a rhythm machine that gives the freedom to play in real time without losing the pulse fabulous sounds and great beats
Particularly enjoying linking the iKaossilator via Bluetooth into Line 6 amplifi FX100 so that I can practice via headphones with no cables

Cool app

This is really fun. The user interface is really dated and sometime hard to figure things out.
