Appmuse

I don’t like the name of this app. The best part about this app is the ability it has to adapt to new forms of synthesis. - Hooptech33

I love this synth! I cut my teeth doing experimental music with a green Korg ES-1 back in the 00s and have really enjoyed making music in the Korg grove box format again. This app really feels like an instrument and I have fun playing it whether I’m working on something serious or just messing around. It sounds very, very good. If I could ask for one feature for the dev team to consider it would be to add another poly voice mode where the amp doesn’t reset to 0 when you play a note a second time. Sometimes called ‘analog amp’. I often use this for generative ambient music (because it’s 8 wavetable synths ?) but the amp volume resetting and clicking kills the mood. Good thing I also love to abuse this thing in mono mode with extreme FM settings and make it scream. Don’t hear any clicks over the beautiful noise! Any chance we can get presets in AUV3 at some point? see it in action on my YouTube channel called ‘cryptonym’ Show more

U prolly Don’t like it

I’m sorry. I love korg stuff. But this was a headache to figure out. Not user friendly and would like my money back.

This is a fully functional groovebox with just as much if not more features than a standard all in one device. I’ve been using this with my Korg NanoKey Studio. Awesome pairing but it seems the knobs and pad buttons don’t work about half the time I connect it. Disconnecting and reconnecting seems to fix the issue. Still a bit annoying though Show more

As audio unit it is available as a single wavetable. It would be nice to have aces to patches/programs and drums

The app only shows the splash screen when it’s starting and it crashes. Happened after a recent update. Used only for a couple of months then it became unusable. Wasted my money. Show more

Hi I think there is a major problem with Kong Electribe due to iOS 14 update.the app doesn’t function properly as an inter app because the character of the sound change when I load it inside the app that I make my music with,I’m having this problem inside NanoStudio,IMPC pro 2, BeatMaker 3 please send an update or probably the app needs a bug fix. Thank you very much for all your hard work on helping iPad producer but the app is wonderful. Show more

Ability to use the drums in AUV3 would be nice

Korg you guys really out did yourselves, I feel like the interface is so easy to understand on here, I like the look of the app I appreciate all of the instrument choices we get per part, the mixer interface is a beauty i feel like I’m in a studio, I imagine this works great with a midi controller I sort of want to buy the nano kontrol to find out, basically you can play back clips much like how Korg gadget or the Nintendo ds game work, but I don’t know I really like the electribe work flow, this app gives so much freedom and control over how you want you your music to sound, beyond impressed, I want to incorporate this in some of my songs along with my other hardware instruments Show more

I love Korg. I have a bunch of hardware and a lot of the software. I check back in this app every couple months to see if it has improved, and it has. Extra star for that. The problem is that there are still bits left working incorrectly or poorly implemented. The feature in mind at the moment is the count in for the metronome - it doesn’t work. At all. I am not ready to play notes on my controller keyboard in the same second that I hit the play and record buttons, but the app expects me to be; even though I set the (newly available) 2 bar count in, it begins playing/recording in the same instant I hit the button, like it did from its release date. This is not supposed to happen until the end of the count-in. That is the reason it is there. Every other production app has this feature, and I am not asking for anything unreasonable, so please fix this! I stand by my original review in which I stated that consumers should not have to spend hard earned cash on a half baked application and then also be expected to QA the release for the developers. That is the job of the employees of Korg, who get paid to do this stuff. Show more

I expected that I could load my own samples to turn into wave tables. The lack of this feature deeply cripples this from being an amazing app. However the drum section let's you import samples and honestly, it's way better to use than a physical es2 sampler. Please add ability to load my own sounds or at least draw custom wave forms. This would absolutely make all the difference. Show more

Trying to change drum causes app to crash on iPad Pro. Hope it’s just me because I think the app looks like a lot of fun but if I can’t get it to work I will ask for refund. Show more

I bought this plugin for one reason in particular....Audio Unit support. Waiting for the rest of the Kong line to comply.

Things that would make it so much better: 1. Ability to dial in metronome instead of using fingers to turn the parameter knobs. 2.Better sensitivity for parameter knobs or better yet the ability to dial in the parameters. 3. MIDI mapping capability of parameters to hardware. 4. Ability to rearrange patterns in song mode 5. Ability to loop a specific pattern or loop a set of patterns 6. Ability to specify the number of times a pattern should loop before going to the next pattern 7. Ability to copy and paste entire bar of sequences in a row to another bar. These should be easy fixes based on the price being charged. Show more

This is the most joy I’ve ever had, aside from with a girlfriend. I prefer making drum parts on here now to ableton drum rack. Holy cannoli tho it’s just so cool, so freaking fun. Thank you KORG Show more

I love this app.....giving one star so that hopefully the developer will see and respond....when playing live and muting parts you can no longer jump to another pattern without an annoying prompt popping up to remind you your changes won’t be saved....this seriously interrupts the flow of live playing! Please switch this feature back and get rid of it..... Show more

Honestly, it’s takes a bit of time to wrap yr head around the truly mind boggling workflow but the results are worth it. If you spend the time you’ll be rewarded with a very deep(and limited)all in 1 music making app. ESP if your into left of center electronic style music. Show more

I can’t put this thing down. I normally use a combination of Cubasis 2 and BeatMaker 3 with audio unit apps for creating audio tracks on the go. I later export them to my full pc studio for final composition, mixing and mastering. This app is super easy to program, stable (very important), the sounds are top quality, it can work as an audio unit or stand alone, allows individual audio track bounce/export, and it is not cpu hungry! In the past I stayed away from KORG on the iPad because they are not AU3 compatible, but as soon as this one was updated to AU3 I had to try it. Cons - the AU3 version does not have the drums, saved patterns, user saved presets, etc from the stand alone version. Hopefully this is fixed in the future. I would also like the option to export the midi data. Show more

Korg adopting AU3 shows their willingness to adapt to Apple’s standards and makes me feel more sure about my overall investment in this ecosystem rather than them abandoning their products. I am over buying synth apps that reach EoL and are abandoned so I’ll be sticking to Korg moving forward. Thank you! Show more
