AUv3 - The 800 lb gorilla…
For this app, and the others that do not have AUv3 support. It’s time to acknowledge and address your customers. When are you going to implement AUv3 for the rest of your apps? It’s time
Still my fav synth- hoping for an AUv3 update!
This review would be 5 stars if a few modern features get added- AUv3 and iCloud saving support!
Great detailed controls let you fine tune the synth and model lots of cool sounds from fat bass to expressive leads. You get 2 synth instances and 6 drum tracks that are simplified versions of the same synth. With the sequencer this is enough to make entire songs. The limited amount of tracks actually is great for keeping you focused. I use KORG Gadget 3 too which is much more versatile, but I ended up finishing way more songs with iPolysix thanks to its relative simplicity.
This app is OLD- and sadly KORG has kind of forgotten about it. It desperately needs an update to support AUv3 so it can be used as a synth in other DAWs. It has been gadget-ized, but the Gadget version has lost some small features, like the arpeggiator latch, and doesn’t sound quite the same.
Another critical thing It needs is the ability to save to iCloud or other file locations. Nice to have features would be the ability to export MIDI from the sequencer, and synth setting presets to Gadget - trying to recreate songs and sounds from iPolysix within Gadget 3 should be easy but without these features it really isn’t!
I LOVE this app, and I hope KORG finds the bandwidth to update this awesome synth for the modern era of iOS music production! I’ll be sure to update this to 5 stars when they do. Thanks KORG!

AUv3
I am giving this 4 stars due to no audio unit support. Please update this and others so they can used in Cubasis or Logic Pro for iPad.
More to it than meets the eye
Initially I thought this was just a copy of the original polysix - which was good. But dig in to the sequencer, drum machine and Kaoss Pads and this becomes much more interesting. Worth taking time to explore
Still waiting, KORG
We were promised an update to make the gadgetized version (Pompei) AUv3. So we upgraded. And we’re still waiting.
Comes alive with an external controller
Used to have the hardware version. This app, when combined with a decent controller, definitely scratches that itch. Having two of them, plus a pair of six-part sampler units makes solo performances possible and fun. Still on the wish list for me: External sample import (to get some 80s drum samples going), and patch import/export to/from the VST version. Other than that, it’s perfect!

Useless in the modern AUv3 world
I bought this on the assumption (so entirely my fault) that it would support AUv3, in the same way that iM1 does. It does not. More fool me. This was a complete waste of money.
It sounds great standalone, but I want to use it with other synths and effects and I’m not working with inter-app audio as it’s too unstable.

5 Stars after Auv3
Amazing sound synth, like all korg synths. It’s just no good without Auv3 (for me)
Doesn’t seem to connect to midi.
Probably ok in Gadget but not any good for anything else.
NO AUv3 SUPPORT
Come on Korg this is ridiculous!!!! It’s been how many years now? I deleted Gadget because this. Gadget was born on iOS yet you give the flexibility to desktop only. I never bought the desktop version because of your shady business dealings on iOS. I spent over $200 on your iOS products. To access gadgets on desktop, to put in your personal daw, is $200. Over it.

Bringing back great memories
I had one of these in my youth and have missed it often. But wow, this app does it justice. Incredibly good sounding. The extra features (two instances, more effects, a sequencer, drums) are icing. My favourite soft synth purchase. All I need now are faux wood side panels for my iPad.
One of the few.....
I use this with mSequencer and can get full control over all 8 instruments - better than m1 for sequencing for sure. 8 tracks with seven tracks of automation. Or automate the mixer and let Polysix do the sequencing. 😀
UPDATE...... PLEASE ADD ABLETON LINK KORG-SAN

Hoovers for Days
Double barrelled rave action complete w drums.
Love love love this
But it would be awesome with AUV3! I still go back to this and play it a lot!
AUv3
Pretty please make all your synth apps AUv3!!!!!
Don’t buy this app. MIDI implementation sucks.
I own every Korg app and tons of their kit. Love their stuff.
Some of their apps need some basic functionality added. This ones midi implementation means I will rarely use it. It cannot be leveraged to make music easily. There are better apps. Save your money.

AUv3 please - STILL NO AUv3 😭
Sorry but I don’t use Gadget and never will. It just doesn’t work for me. But your stand-alone synths are awesome and need to be AUv3!
Needs to be AUv3!
Needs to be AUv3!
11 Inch Screen Support
Great synth, love using it in Gadget. Just wish it filled my 11 inch iPad screen in standalone mode.
Great app but please add AUv3 support.
This is a great app. Still really enjoy it and sounds great. But please add Audio units v 3 support. It will be infinetely more useful with that feature added. Thank you.
Spot on!..
I used to own a real korg polysix (now worth nearly £1000, what was i thinking!) and this synth app ipolysix is spot on in terms of looks and sounds!
And all this on an iPad! Mad ..
Recreated a simple patch i remember making way back when and it's quite accurate.
Why can't roland, yamaha, casio (and any of the other many synth makers) do something like this?.. Used to own some of the above too and legacy apps like this are so cool..
The up to date additions for audiobus, extra synth instances, xy kaos pads, midi, (even just to use my basic keyboard via irig to play ipolysix) drums, effects, sequencing, mixing, public sharing, etc., although i may not use all of those at the moment, certainly adds value to ipolysix.
Re: audiobus knob issue;
I am not having this problem. All fine. (Ipad 2).
Used 'multitrack daw' app to test this. Simple live play record while knob twiddling. No issues.
Possibly a buffer issue since newer iPads set it differently. ?
Re: Tempo setting that others are concerned about;
A field to allow manually typing in data (after double tap or hold, like in drumjam) might be useful, that idea can maybe applied to other settings also. Just a suggestion.
Maybe midi cc mapping too for future possibilities.
Wondering if its time it got auv3 functionality?
