How could you possibly pass up a $16 Korg M1? Sounds luscious, easier to use, high dollar voice upgrades, 64 note polyphony is right out of the box. Side 1 track 1 Universe is so fun. If you're looking at it, you need it. Show more

This device is lightweight and full of presents. It is amazing

Like many others, I have bought quite a few iOS synths. They are like jellybeans, it’s tough to stop at one. Unlike a number of other synths though, this is the synth I choose for quick renderings of ideas, or a fast patch that fills a mood. It is simple enough that I can edit and change patches relatively quickly, but versatile and rich enough to fill many needs. I will say that it doesn’t have the punch and power of the best iOS analog emulations, so you may want to add those for your muscular synth sounds. Also, many sounds are very similar to those produced by iWavestation. The difference is that iWS followed this synth and is more complex but adds greater animation to the sounds. It’s not as easy to use and program but was the next generation product (though still 25 years old). I have both products by Korg. They are well-rendered and sound amazing. Add a ballsy analog synth and you are pretty close to having it all. Show more

Seria bueno si tuviera las Targetas como el korg n364 y otros mas.

I would say that iM1 has “one of the worst UI” but having tried so many synth apps It’s probably safe to say that it deserves to get the first prize as THE worst User Interface of all. To be specific, I’m talking about the Cards as the chosen method for managing pads. (Basically everything that doesn’t have to do with saving/loading/managing is awesome). The idea behind imitating the “original hardware” not only makes the interface extremely difficult/unintuitive to navigate but introduces artificial limitations. It’s like half of this app was done in present time while the other was written back when MS Dos was your primary OS! You get a bunch of “cards” with completely random patches inside. You can’t move them, can’t group them, can’t edit and save or delete individual patches in these cards, and can’t even favorite them! Then you can buy additional cards, and will have even more of this completely random madness! There are a lot of good patches but good luck finding them (especially a second time). Especially because (as of this writing) there’s no AudioUnits (AU) support, which would make things a *lot* easier because you could save the preset from your DAW and come back to it later. But with only IAA - you’re back to square one. Oh, but there’s a search tab that can look for patches by Instrument and Character, but it’s not well done in terms of intuitiveness and allowing you to find what you’re looking for. It only makes *browsing* better. It’s the preferred way to navigate through this chaos but wouldn’t even be needed if the patches were stored in a normal folder-like structure like every other modern synthesizer app out there. As a supplementary tool this search would be a nice touch, but not as the only way. There’s also a “Popular” tab... really... Who cares? How about a Favorite tab that I can put my own stuff into?? My popular won’t be the same as someone else’s. To store a patch you have to “write” it to one of the “user cards”. You get 4 cards (“intuitively” labeled Library 1 through 4) each having 50 slots. Yes someone had to program this complex silliness! But it’s not just cumbersome, it’s also a limitation! 200 user patches max! So if you thought you could use user cards as a “workaround-favorites” well, keep in mind this limitation. It’s really good wave synth, one of the best in fact, but guys please get on with the times! Just put all the patches in a folder-like categorized structure. Forget about “user cards”, and “write” interface. Just give us: Save, Save As (unlimited of course), Move (between categories/folders) and Delete (for *any* patch, as there are many I know I’ll never ever use). These things are industry standard. There’s not a single musician that will disagree with the things I’ve said here, even the ones who own the original M1. I really love the capabilities and sounds of M1, as well as the UI for the individual and multi patch manipulation, it’s really well done - clean and intuitive. But I can’t help but hate the completely unproductive patch managing interface. It takes the joy and creativity out of what otherwise would have been one of my top favorite wave synths. Also a huge problem, as others have mentioned, while selecting and previewing a sound wave for the OSC, you get the sound in pure form, not how it will sound within your project. So on/off there would be very useful. Show more

Wishing to glob KORG would wake up and smell the AUv3 coffee... I’ve bought every sound pack for this thing as they are classic but now I can’t use them with any other music apps >={ Show more

With all the sounds in this library the im1 will keep you busy for quite awhile, everybody trying to buy the original m1 but you get it at a fraction of the price with a Huge library, awesome ! Show more

This app is my favorite. Tons of tweak able sounds and I do not need to rent a barn to store a large number of instruments .
