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. ### 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. ### 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 😅 ### 4/5 — it’s not so great *2023-11-21, version 1.7.3* I feel korg can do better, this app makes me want to buy the real thing except the real thing is 40 times more expensive. no way will you get a tube sound of the original, the synthesis on this seems pretty limited, I think the new electribe app is much better, this is a nice kick drum maker and should be 5 dollars, korg did right with the original electribes but this like getting one slice of a full pizza😳where’s my other slices ### 4/5 — We need upgrade. *2023-10-11, version 1.7.3* I love this app. I love hardware Electribes too. But WE, iElectribe Users, We need some upgrade. I looking forward to AUv3, more options for export audio, maybe library of patterns, not only backup with full banks. Synth engine and effects are amazing and very closer to original, rest of edit options is nice&fun. ValveFORCE kick my as*. Kwoter207. ### 4/5 — Bella ma migliorabile *2023-05-14, version 1.7.3* Gira molto bene ma si potrebbe aggiungere la possibilità di inserire campioni ### 3/5 — C’mon Korg, Play Nice! *2023-04-12* auV3 please! Bring your great apps into the modern world ### 4/5 — Great but Korg needs to update their apps *2022-07-04, version 1.7.3* Korg, you make great apps. But please don’t abandon them. Even just a tiny refresh in resolution and AUE would make us synth tokers and beat addicts so happy. ### 2/5 — Not up to date *2022-06-19, version 1.7.3* Waste of cash right now. Great instrument locked behind a wall of neglect. Sounds like the Electribe, but not even IAA. New Korg stuff sounds worse and is less programmable (ie- boring) and the old stuff like this are still $30 on the app store, but completely lacking any features that would make it useful in a modern context. Shame. Don’t buy. ### 3/5 — Missing the keyboard and AUE or Gadget support *2021-06-22, version 1.7.3* Missing the keyboard and AUE or Gadget support ### 2/5 — Urgente update iPad Pro 3rd generation troppi crash :( *2020-05-19, version 1.7.2* L’app è meravigliosa, l’ho comprata oggi e purtroppo dopo aver speso 21,99€ crasha continuamente su iPad Pro Terza Generazione con iOS 13 aggiornato alla sua ultima versione. Se non rilasciate un aggiornamento richiederò il rimborso... peccato veramente perché è molto professionale, ti permette di modificare il loop di preset e personalizzarli come si vuole, oltre a fare il bounce per esportarli... peccato che a causa dei continui crash non riesco il più delle volte ad importare il lavoro fatto... secondo me a questo prezzo dovreste rilasciare degli aggiornamenti utili più spesso, anche per la fama della nota casa Korg. ### 3/5 — Crashes! *2020-05-18, version 1.7.2* It was great! It was a 5 stars app... but as of May 2020 it started crashing, over and over and without specific cause. Please! Resolve this. Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Bad implementation *2024-09-28, version 1.7.3* They should delete this app. ### 1/5 — Auv3? *2023-04-20, version 1.7.3* Why no auv3 support ? ### 1/5 — No way to export audio *2022-08-01, version 1.7.3* Itunes transfer doesn't exist anymore and you can't share ("bounce") to Soundcloud as stated in the description. IElectribe for iphone can send audio clips to anywhere but not this app for iPad. Korg, please update this iPad app. At this price, it is totally unacceptable to ignore the need to keep it updated. ### 1/5 — KEIN IMPORT *2022-04-09, version 1.7.3* Sampler OHNE Sampling Funktion!! ### 1/5 — Not worth that price *2021-02-26, version 1.7.3* And u can’t get refund. Buy Electribe wave instead of this. ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2021-02-02, version 1.7.3* Faut pas avoir honte quand on est une si grande marque de ne pas faire évoluer une application comme celle ci et de la laisser dans un état obsolète vis à vis des nouvelles technologies du IOS en matière de musique...et bien sur vis à vis de produits concurrents, moins cher et souvent indépendants .Je vous laisse chercher vous même mais ceux qui s intéressent déjà au sujet savent de quoi je parle. ### 1/5 — No AUv3, more of a toy or a play thing *2020-06-19, version 1.7.3* Great sounds, but can’t open inside DAW still with AUv3. Purchases this app 4 years ago and still waiting for the support ### 1/5 — 大失敗 *2019-04-14, version 1.7.1* ESX-1を実機所有で現役で使ってます。なにもかもが本物に遠く及ばない。根本的なところで違う。大失敗だー！できれば返品したい！こんなのでライブなんかーできませんよー。アイカオシレーターのほうがよほど使えます。実機でもこういうのはオモチャガジェットではあるんだけど、これはそれ以下だわ。好きにフレーズつくれないんじゃ意味がないしライブで使うことを想定してない。フィルターさえも無いのはむしろ驚愕。こんなのとわかってたら買わなかった。実機で遊びます。（涙）唯一良いと思ったのはカオスパッド的な使い方ができるエフェクトくらいか。それもこのアプリ内部でしか使えないから意味がないんだよなー ### 1/5 — Déçu *2018-08-13, version 1.7.1* Déçu de voir qu'il est impossible de synchroniser avec WIST SYNC aVec iOS supérieur à 8 Alors notez bas pour que les développeur puissent remonter l'info ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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。 ### 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 ? 😉 ### 5/5 — It’s great *2024-07-15* Reasonable alternative to a hardware version! **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your message. We are glad to know you like the KORG iElectribe. Please enjoy! Best regards, KORG App Team ### 5/5 — Very effective *2024-02-01, version 1.7.3* The interface is friendly and the stock sounds are good. I haven’t begun delving into all functions yet, but so far - good. ### 5/5 — Morgana electhae *2023-12-03, version 1.7.3* Mencanta ### 5/5 — Why didn’t I get this sooner? *2023-07-07, version 1.7.3* I know a lot of people probably forgot about this app or pass right by it because it’s extremely old, it doesn’t have AUV3 capabilities, and it’s pretty limited in comparison to other groovebox apps like this. That may lead some to believe this is a relic or not necessary and thus not an app worth checking out. I completely disagree. Korg has their summer sale going on so for ten dollars I finally decided to give this a try and I am NOT disappointed. I’ve seen others refer to this as a toy but that is not at all accurate. I think people forget that sometimes having a very focused, very accessible limited tool is one of the best thing for creativity. I’m having so much fun programming this and coming up with absolutely whacked out sounds, deep sub heavy bass and trippy drum grooves. This is an app I’m going to spend a lot of time really mastering because the motion recording and fx sending seem to be very rewarding. People also have this weird imaginary block now where everything has to be AUV3, but this app has IAA, which means I can still open it in AUM, feed it into Koala Sampler, chop up my performances and get even crazier results. iOS music making is like having a digital modular environment with infinite possibilities to make some really unique stuff. Sorry for the long rant but I had to give this amazing rhythm box a five star review and ask myself here in 2023 why I waited so long to cop this. ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥🔥 *2021-03-07, version 1.7.3* this app is amazing ### 5/5 — Все работает *2019-10-09, version 1.7.2* Но мощнее и круче секвенсор от arturia --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
