The best app ever

I’ve had this app for close to 10 years and It has solved so many problems for me. Sometimes I perform with just this app, sometimes I use it to handle my ADHD, and sometimes it’s just nice to be able to make some music spontaneously.

Tastes Great. Less Filling

Huh. Wish I could record my voice into this. It’s still amazing without my voice.

Gate arp please. Will change review.

I own four versions of the hardware. A Kaossilator, a Kaossilator 2, 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 still was in the top 200 so people are using it and I paid 20 bucks for this app in the mid 2000s. Actually, it was one of the most expensive apps back then and I own every single app you guys make +15 pieces of your hardware. Add some more sounds in an in app purchase and a gate Arp please

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH iOS 26!!!!!!!!!

No mixer?

See, that’s a complaint I totally agree with. Otherwise, for free (?) it’s pretty good.

Hello. Thank you for your message. We will share your feedback with the developer team. Please enjoy the iKaossilator. Best regards, KORG App Team

WARNING: THIS APP WILL SPOIL YOU!

Update:
Recent updates have made it so that there is very little contrast between the way an instrument knob appears when muted and when not muted when the instrument is not selected. The colors just do not contrast enough like they used to. This makes it difficult to see, at a glance, which tracks are muted or not. Very annoying.


This is the best music sequencer of all time. Period. The included sounds may not be everyone's cup of tea but you will not find a better sequencing workflow anywhere else. You will have so much fun making songs, you will wonder why people think music is difficult. You will try (and fail) to replicate this fun in other music making apps and then come right back to this. There is nothing, NOTHING, more intuitive, more fluid, and more fun for jamming out and putting songs together via software. You've been warned!

Come on Korg, give us some new sounds and beats to play with. Great app but it’s showing its age.

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.
