Pretty please make all your synth apps 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!

The iPolySix sounds great! I’ve been playing synths since the early 80s, and this sounds like it should - analog and very musical.

7/27 EDIT: Korg, your boilerplate "sorry for the inconvenience" response makes no sense here. I'm not complaining about a specific issue, but rather the absolute (and seemingly intentional?) obsolescence of iPolysix as a functioning app in the current iPad music landscape. It's not AU, has no IAA, has no Ableton Link, has no extended MIDI functions, and doesn't interact with Gadget. It's not even integrated into the going KORG iPad environment, let alone the whole complex ecosystem that's come about as the tablet has matured. The complaint is basically, "I paid a lot of money for this app and it stopped updating 2 years ago, despite the fact that music app standards have continued to shift and grow. Now I'm frustrated that I wasted my time writing songs in it." And my review is a warning: don't buy this if you want something that ever updates and plays nicely (or at all) with other apps. 6/18 EDIT: It’s been months and Korg hasn’t so much as glanced my way on this. As of now, iPolysix is a $30 app with no support and no future. It features some of my favorite sounds and workflow, but it’s just not keeping up with the times - or even other Korg apps! I strongly suggest looking elsewhere, if only to avoid the heartbreak I’ve had with this thing. I feel like I wasted two years making music with it. iPolysix was my first iPad music love, the groovebox/synth whose ease, versatility, and top-notch retro voices made me believe the iOS hype when stuff like Tabletop, Figure, and Rhythm still felt undernourished and full of early house-ish cheese. But over time I've been forced to abandon it, as Korg has done essentially nothing to make it vibe with current connectivity standards: no Ableton Link, no extended MIDI functions, no AU stuff, no absorption into Gadget - like I said, nothing. I have something like 50 iPS tracks that are dying to be piped into/arranged further in Gadget or beatmatched with iElectribe/Patterning/ElasticDrums/iMPC or treated track by track with AU/IAP plugins (either in iPS itself or, even better, via some multitrack output to Auria), but it's hard to shake the feeling that I've invested hours upon hours into Korg's redheaded abandonware stepchild, leaving my tracks in a perpetual demo state. Prove me wrong, Korg! Show more

I was 18 when I saw this keyboard in a music store. I could not afford one. I have always wanted one, and finally can check one out. For the price, it is a lot of fun. There are more powerful modern features added than on the original too. Thx Show more

Hands down, my favorite app to use. It's five stars for me but I'm taking one off because the SoundCloud feature hasn't worked properly in at least 3 years. C'mon Korg, please don't ignore this app. I keep hoping for a good update, let's get it fixed. Show more

Needs an Update. Fix the SoundCloud feature and please add some new presets

This app *used to be* super stable. Per a prior complaint, cloud is unavailable from crashes on ios 9 :( UPDATE Still buggy, and broken cloud on IOS 10

The MIDI functionality of this app is way behind the evolution of iOS. Has very limited IAA support--buyer beware. I would have expected more upkeep from a company like Korg.

This is one of my favorite apps for making music on the road. Love that I have two Polysixes and a complete drum kit to compose with on its step sequencer. Really wish I had more options for integrating with my MIDI studio when I get home. Show more

With the one year anniversary coming up in little over a week since the last update, I'd say it's past due for one, nothing major as the synth is what it is, but to make it more iOS 10 friendly, and something that would actually make it a big update, make it able to open in Gadget, or what would be even better, make it an audio unit. It's still a great synth, but let's not get complacent, as we know how apps can get when they aren't at the very least, insured to run with the latest iOS without any hiccups. Show more

Sure, you can design them yourself but a bigger library would be extremely helpful for those not looking to get so deep into sound design.

I'll give this app 5 stars for it honest representation of the vintage synth with all its limitations. Otherwise, this is not necessarily a plug and play toolbox of the extreme kind. So, I suppose if I bought the actual Korg hardware synth, I would have to appreciate its retro limitations remembering that the era in which this synth was produced was still one of discovery.

iPolySix is one of the most analog-sounding polysynth apps out there. It sounds just great and others have composed fantastic EDM songs with it. That said, Gadget is far more versatile (and newer). To give this app a second life, it would be an amazing addition to Gadget (i.e., integrated). As a standalone app, iPolySix still has great potential but needs MIDI CC functionality to work better with MIDI keyboard controllers for knob and transport control as well as responding to (and/or generating) MIDI clock. Great job, Korg, but don't stop here! Show more

This is my most-used IOS synth. It has great warm sounds and a built- in sequencer. Wish the IM1 had a sequencer as that would be amazing. Yes, there's GAdget but the M1 there is limited. Sequencing your apps from other programs like Genome is a real pain due to all of the switching. Get this app! Show more

I once proudly and quickly made the track blue gizmo which I believe is now preloaded with this app. There was somekind of backdoor in the App connected to KORG, I believe I was on a server or something. After my session was completed a pop-up appeared. It displayed menus for Artist name and Year input.. For whatever reason I chose not to use my real name and instead inputted KORG.. I was actually kind of scared. I could have used an alias but no I put KORG. I'm assuming they misunderstood like they could have It or they got mixed up and it ended as a default project.. Weird right..? And evil. After updating the app I no longer have the ability to input artist name or year.. Now why would they go and do such a thing? What's really going on with these apps and how much are they stealing from users taking the credit?! Show more

This app should not cost 30 dollars! Ithas some bugs and it is difficult to use and there are plenty of other apps that cost less and work great! I do not know how Korg gets a reputation for being great...their stuff is complicated and buggy! Show more

I like the sounds and layout. It sounds just like the real thing. Easy to use if you have used any DAW or other Korg apps. I can honestly say that I love all my Kong products. Show more

Or doesnt want us actually Making music, just playing with pricey toys so long as we never create any songs. This app actually has a manual, while having several functions i never wanted from it. That gets it one star more than i'll give iMS-20, but still, in the three years i've owned these apps, I haven't created anything using them nor used them live, because they're boring, laborious, bureaucratic, cumbersome pieces of bloatware. I imagine Korg's programmers having sick laughs at all the musicians banging away at their ipads, trying to wring music out of these apps, or breaking their ipads in frustration. Thanks for nothing, Korg! Show more
