Leave a Review KORG iPolysix for iPad
Memories
I paid $2000 for a Polysix, my first analog synth, 30 years ago. This digital emulation is more powerful and arguably better sounding. Have we come a long way! I hope that Korg does the same for their 17 year old treasured Prophecy, which sits in my studio beside their current masterpiece, the Kronos, which also includes a Polysix engine among it's nine synth engines. These guys are good!Show lessRickerdoo
Why didn't you tell me?!?!
I love anything that KORG bring out so I was stoked when I saw this on new and noteworthy... But you guys need a mailing list so we can hear sooner when you release something, it's important...
Just wondering if you are going to add the zooming feature a la iMS-20? I am visually challenged so I loves me dials big.
This feature packed app is a must have for any synthophile, get it now!Show lessMultiMediac
Back to the future
After owning a Polysix in the 1980's, I always appreciated its fine sound and ease of programming. When MIDI came about, it was sold to make room for more modern synths. Still, many times I wished I had kept it. Forward to the present day, I'm rebuilding my synth arsenal with help of an iPad and AKAI Synthstation 49. I received the email the other day from Korg announcing this release. Couldn't wait until I got home to download it and start making sounds. Everything I loved about the original is here plus several outstanding improvements. Most important, the sound and ease of programming compare equally with the original. One minor thing- I didn't remember the original not having portamento. Alas, neither does this app. Now that would be worth adding in a future update. Overall, a great job bringing back this wonderful synth.Show lessTBKeys1
Another amazing app
Just like the ims20 this thing is amazing, the interface is an improvement over the ims20 (nice). I own all of the Korg apps and now I'm thinking they can't make a bad app. This is one of the best synth apps on iOS, period.sirmcp
Very powerful, great sound
I want to give it 5 stars, yet the limited track layers is my only gripe. Yet it's new, I am sure they will update...or perhaps I haven't figured that out. Still, I have already made five songs in 1 day, and audio copy and sending to GarageBand allows for a ton more flexibility. The sounds are great, the drum machine is basic yet you can tweak the sounds in the synth engine which is huge. Well worth the price...oh and it's way more intuitive than the ms20 app, if that was your fear. Overall, a great component for music creating within the ipad or even sending to a DAW.Show lesswumpshire
Great reproduction, still buggy
Used to own a Polysix and this has got fantastic reproduction of the synth. This combined with the pad and drums makes it a great app.
Has some issues with stuck keys when using an external controller. My axiom aftertouch locks notes down that can't be turned off unless you stop the app, or overload the six keys at once to cause them to drop.
Controllers also falsely trigger notes.
One recommendation for a new feature is to allow external sync of the arpegiators.Show lessclamrectum
Finally!
Finally, someone at Korg realized that putting grid guidelines on the Kaosspads would be a good idea. After all the compaining from users and all the online sites selling templates and giving tutorials on making gridline overlays, Korg has finally got the message. I would imagine it was probably some janitor sweeping the floor, looking over the programmer's shoulder who said "hey, why don't you put in gridlines so people can actually see what they're doing?" Fortunately, the programmer listened and now Korg has caught up with the rest of the apps that use a similar pad interface. For this alone, I give it 5 stars.Show lessnavonski
WOW...... Just Plain Old...WOW
This is a great app. It looks super cool and sounds fantastic through nice headphones. Easy to use and fun to play with. There are some insane sounds in there. The synth automation is so fun! You can really go deep here. The effects sound good. The KAOSS style sequencing is easy and fun. The layout is superb. Among the best music apps out there. This is so cool. There is no reason to wait on this purchase. Thanks.Show lessanaloghaze
Really excellent new synth
Very slick interface, very easy to use. Sound quality is fantastic. Maybe the best part of it is the enhanced soundcloud sharing. Taking one star off for lack of any kind midi support. Navigating song patterns could be better too. But buy this app, overall it's awesome to just pick up and play, with a very unique and varied sound.Show lessAnon837365657
You have a really good interface this time
You should update the ims20 and make it work like this one a bit more! Sounds dope dope ...KORG has really utilized the ipad, i love this app. Own ikaossilator, electribe, electribe gorillas, ims20, and now this app! I want the electribe sampler! If more companies would embrace the ipad like this the ipad would just be incredible to use all the time! I gave you five stars...keep making great appsShow lessMic Gee$
