Midi maping for nanostudio key or similar should be nativaly supported. I got it because price dropped fo 50 zloty. It unfortunately wasn’t upgradet for ages. ### 5/5 — Very similar to using hardware *2026-06-06, version 1.7.3* must-have app. 64-step sequencer VA synth. very similar workflow to the EMX-1, but virtual analog like the ER-1MkII. a terrific generator of base rhythms and elements to resample. ### 4/5 — Kein Import ??? *2026-03-19, version 1.7.3* Wieso kann ich keine programmierte Session die ich vor vielen Jahren und viel Arbeit erstellt habe in mein neues IPad hineinladen das auf dem alten IPad noch vorhanden ist. Und ich rede hier nicht von Export oder Share, denn da kann ich es reinladen und abspielen aber nicht in die Electribe. Sehr schwach das dieses Problem in all den Jahren in dieser wunderbaren App nicht behoben wurde. Ich muss mein IPad „2“ benutzen , auf dem ich es in der Vergangenheit einprogrammiert hatte damit es funktioniert. Hoffentlich kommt einmal jemand in die Gänge um dem Namen Korg gerecht zu werden. ### 1/5 — Share menu bugged out *2025-09-07, version 1.7.3* Whenever I enter the share menu after using the bounce pattern function, the bottom section of the screen doesn’t appear. In fact, the whole menu layout has overlapping issues. The name and audio files borders are pushed close together along with the titles. ### 5/5 — Bella,super bellissima. *2025-01-31, version 1.7.3* Mega Drum synth mania ### 5/5 — 実機以上に *2024-12-02, version 1.7.3* 以前、実機は所有していましたが、当時は使い途が開発できず、でした。 個人的にはMaestroのRhythm Kingの音色や雰囲気が好きなので、FunkBoxも愛用してますが、音色をいじり倒してリズムマシンの領域を出る事も出来るし、自分好みだけでなくマシンと対話するように未知領域を作っていける愉しさがあります。 UIの背景を変えられるのも素晴らしい！ これ相当ポイント高い。 electribeはiOSで本領発揮するのかも。 音色も好きだし、自分も素直になってきたからか（笑）、深く面白い楽器。 ### 1/5 — Bad implementation *2024-09-28, version 1.7.3* They should delete this app. ### 5/5 — Steady *2024-08-06, version 1.7.3* In an age where much changes or gets deleted, this is a solid gem. Link enabled gets you synced. Oh and dig out that Nanopad 2 that you were goin to give to your nephew. Great for selecting presets. Come on KORG - where's my Electribe Sampler ? 😉 ### 2/5 — Korg didn’t and intended not to meet the expectations of the admirers *2024-08-03, version 1.7.3* Sadness! ### 4/5 — Kein sample Import *2024-07-20, version 1.7.3* Wie auch bei der Vorgänger App handelt es sich um einen „synth“ Ansatz anstatt dem sample Import wie es bei den roten electribe üblich war… Daher 1 Stern Abzug ;) da man schon auf Screen den osc Bereich sehen kann…0,5 Sterne Abzug aufgerundet 😅 ## Frequently asked questions about KORG iELECTRIBE for iPad ### What does KORG iELECTRIBE do?
