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.

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!

No longer works for me

Grrr was working now not I synced not one but two pocket operators it failed to sync them to my apps

it kills my battery!

Tried the app and worked fine but later I saw the app was running on the background non stop after closing it and it drained my battery for about 7 hours , someone needs to fix that.

Very useful

This works with Ableton Link.
It can control the Korg Volcas and Teenage Engineering PO series also.
Incredibly useful for jamming.
Thanks Korg.
kindly request audiobus / au support if possible.

BPM boogie time pump it up yeahhhhh

I use this for BPMing records and love it.

WIST doesn't work

Crashes whenever I try to use WIST - this is a huge problem! I want to sync hardware to my iPad with my iPhone. Please fix it.

Decent app but the swing

The sync ability is awesome and the fact it can give the volca swing is awesome but give us some different types of swing this one is almost useless

WIST!?!

Why does the app crash every time I try to use wist? And I'm not sure you know what shuffle is... Because that is not what shuffle should sound like.

WIST does not work in iOS8 ... FIX please!!!

This exactly what I need to close the gap between my TA Pocket Operators and my midi clock, and though it can control tempo and sync to the POs just fine, WIST doesn't work with iOS8 on an iPhone 6. Could be so great for so many products beyond the monotribe and volcas, if only WIST worked I'd give this 5 stars!!! PLEASE FIX

Crashes 8.2

Would be great but seems I crash in iOS 8.2 once WIST is selected

iOS 8 / iPhone 6 issue?

When pressing the WIST button nothing happens and the app becomes unresponsive. Controlling tempo and swing in volca beats works fine (until you want to engage WIST)

iOS 8.1.1 renders is useless

This app locks up now I've updated to iOS 8.1.1 when I click on the wist button. I'm using in on an iPhone 4s. Any idea when it will be updated ?

Please Update This App

I like it. But add keypad support so you can punch in a new tempo, hit enter or play and bam the tempo changes.
for example say you are at 320bpm PinkFloyd (On the Run) and want to change to 140bpm (standard dance tempo) The apps wheel is slow and clumsy for live use to make this change.

Needs fine tuning

The bpm setting needs the option of fine tuning, and the tap tempo feature needs an optional "average" setting to dial in the tempo quicker.

Erm

It works if you half the BPM readout on the app i.e. 130bpm on your monotribe reads as 260bpm on the app. Must be to do with the 16 step upgrade for the mono, maybe this has affected the bpm counter on the app? Good idea until someone calls you! :)

More functions please

It would be great to use the touch pad as a ribbon controller, a step sequencer and a modulation matrix at the very least. I would hope future updates incorporate more features so we don't have to void warrantee's by connecting our own midi kits. Perhaps include the firmware updates through this App too hey KORG?

Huge battery drainer!

Be sure to force quit this app when you're not using it, because otherwise it will sap all the juice from your battery. Not sure why it does this but I've tested it on multiple iDevices and they all suffer the same fate. Any hope for an update that remedies this issue?
