    Excellent app but needs kinks worked out
    As an owner of a Wavestation EX, I can say this app, like the Wavestation 'V' (LC) is true to the original sonically. I played through my amp & speaker system, along with the EX and couldn't detect any real differences in sound quality. Editing and programming is a breeze compared to the hardware versions. Unlike the iM1, I was immediately able to access the in-app store and download the EXB sound sets without a problem. There are some midi issues that need to be addressed; hopefully those will be fixed in a future update. I know, though, that I don't need to lug around a bunch of rack gear to get those pads and sequences I need and love. My iPad has become a huge sound module. Show more

    A bit of a learning curve but worth it
    When Korg came out with keyboards that had menus you had to navigate thru, it was a little off putting compared to their analog synths that had all the knobs and sliders at your fingertips. The wavestation, while rich sounding and sonically opening new doors, it had menus to dig thru and wasn't the most intuitive for a lot of people. This offering is so much easier to tinkle with and tweak and get some cool results. Although it does have a bit of a learning curve should you decide to delve deeper, once you conquer some of its deeper features you can really see how this can take you really far and take you places a lot of iOS synths just can't go. I hope they add more user sound cards because I see myself building up a nice preset library. And speaking of libraries, Korg could stand to make improvements to all their iOS synths in terms of giving us a more organized browser, making it easier to find the sounds we're looking for faster.

    Could be bananas!!!
    I love the new wave sequence that breathes fresh air into this classic synth! My only complaint is the lack of robust midi control. I would love to assign CCs to so many parameters instead of the handful that are currently available. Show more

    Add Tap Tempo, Midi Control FC ADSR, Better Piano
    Hi this is a nice app if you just use the factory performances. It is easier to program than my SR and my Ex....but only a little easier... Please fix the performance save bug that writes random characters in the slot after the one I saved my performance in...on my iPad. Please add a tap tempo button and default MIDI support for filter cutoff, res?, attack, release and effects. Show more

    Almost held out for iM1
    After buying a PlugKey, I figured I might as well buy this synth, rather than wait it out for an iPhone port of iM1. All I can say, is that I haven't put it down since. The PlugKey finally came today and this is definitely one of my favorite experiences with a synth! As others have stated, the filters are still lacking. They're okay for low-passing, but the resonant filter has a pretty weak character. The things that would make this synth complete would be sample import and a better filter. Other than that, KORG really nailed it with this port! Show more

    Phenomenal app, however, this initial release does not include the ability to set the global midi channel which is a must have for anyone using multiple apps controlled by midi. Hopeful this is just an oversight that can be corrected soon. Show more

    Great App!
    I'm glad Korg finally brought the Wavestation to ios. The sound is superb. My only gripe with the app is it's export feature. It doesn't export to Korg Legacy .fxb format. I own both and find it easier to edit sounds in iWavestation. Please Korg implement this feature in an update. 5 stars when this happens. Show more

    Super deep Korg synth; great on iPhone!
    Totally agree with the review written by "Classic Arcade Maniac" - iWavestation is a great iOS synth, in general, but the fact that it works so well on iPhone makes it particularly valuable. Korg's iM1 app is excellent - it's a huge library of sounds that is super accessible even to people with little knowledge of synths and sound design, but it is iPad only (except for the Gadget add-on). Fortunately, iWavestation can cover a lot of the same sounds with its massive library of patches. Integrates nicely into the ever expanding Korg Gadget universe, as well. Korg synths aren't dirt cheap, but they're well worth the price. Show more

    I feel ripped off
    App feels incomplete and the interface counterintuitive Please allow an option to upscale the keyboard Make tutorial videos of the manual and how to make basic beats also is there an option for Inter App Audio so I can link up with my favorite apps? If my experience changes I'll update my review Overall this app has potential Show more

    Pluses and minuses, but mostly good
    Pluses: • This came out with Gadget support on day one. • This iOS version has a much more visual GUI compared to the desktop AU/VST version. It's vastly better to program than the original hardware. • Randomize feature is excellent and should be in EVERY synth EVERYWHERE. • Compatible with Legacy Collection and original hardware. • Classic sounds (anyone complaining about the "dated" sounds should have known better and NOT bought the synth if they didn't want sounds from the late 80s from a classic digital synth). Minuses: • No IAA transport controls. This is a problem with ALL of Korg's apps. • Fiddly controls. This is a problem with ALL of Korg's apps, especially Gadget. • No data exchange via email. • Data exchange requires being tethered to a computer with iTunes. • Randomize feature does not use waveforms from the expansion cards. • Duplicate patches in cards. I realize this might be because the real hardware cards had duplicates (and shame on them), but when you BUY IAPs of extra cards and find they include duplicates, it tells me that Korg should've made them free instead of repeating the mistake (of selling duplicates on cards) in today's era of IAP sales.
