Awesomeeee

THANK YOU for making this free AND Ableton Link capable. Boom, now I have my tempo tracks from Live Lite synced up to my Volca Sample and then chained to my modular, all by using simple cables. Really well designed.

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We hope SyncKontrol can support your creativity and we hope you enjoy your setup. Best regards, KORG App Team

No longer seems to work

It puts out an irregular pulse, with too many pulses. Swing is off, it’s adding random pops. Causes the device to stutter and go out of sync.

Pourquoi les fonctions Wist ont disparu

Une chose interpelle, ça fait quelques années que j’avais pas sorti de mon drive, et là je constate que sur les applications Gorgue plus aucune ne propose d’associer un appareil à la pomme et de permettre de lier ce système de clock à l’application IMS 20. Par exemple la possibilité de synchronisation a disparu totalement qui a une solution.

Battery charge destroyer!

I was shocked to discover that merely dismissing the app continues to use very significant battery in the background, far exceeding all other activities. The depletion of charge on my very healthy battery was very noticeable. I thought my battery was failing.

Be sure to not just send it away but to specifically kill it when done.

Neat but RIP battery

Works great, but watch out: even when not playing it's a constant drain on your battery. Be sure to close it fully!
