Korg has released updates to all its major music apps for the iPad, adding Audiobus support, virtual MIDI, iCloud support and more.
Here’s what’s new in Korg iPolySix:
Sunday Synth Jam: You may want to get the old-school 3D glasses to be able to fully appreciate this synth jam in 3D.
Korg has announced another app for iOS, iKaossilator for iPhone, which is available now in the App Store.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
Korg has revolutionized the musical instrument world with their dynamic line of Kaoss products, using an intuitive X-Y pad to provide expressive musical control.
The palm-sized KAOSSILATOR synthesizer placed modern music-making in the hands of thousands of musicians and non-musicians alike. Now that same excitement has been captured in the iKaossilator app for iPhone!
iKaossilator for iPhone Highlights:
iKaossilator is currently available for $9.99, half off the regular price.
If you try out iKaossilator, let us know what you think of it!.
iPad Music Software: This is a sneak preview of an iPad docking station for the Livid Code MIDI controller.
The Livid Code Station is being used to control Korg’s iElectribe.
This is a prototype at this point – no pricing or availability has been announced, or whether this will even turn into a real product.
If you’re an iPad user, though, check out the video and let us know if you’d be interested in something like this.
Korg has teamed up with the virtual band Gorillaz to create a new beatbox for the iPad: The Korg iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Edition.
While retaining the intuitive beat-making features of the iElectribe, the Gorillaz Edition is a new machine customized to generate Gorillaz samples from their fourth album The Fall. The iElectribe Gorillaz Edition features: 128 new sounds created by Gorillaz; and 64 ready-to-use pre-programmed patterns by the sound team Gorillaz, Stephen Sedgwick, and Korg.
Unfortunately, the Gorillaz sounds appear to not be cleared for commercial use. Korg notes, “ Commercial use of the works created by using this application is subject to the copyright clearance from right holders.”
A “limited run of 10,000 units” is available in the App Store for US $9.99.
We’d prefer to see this less “limited” and more copyright cleared, but it’s sure to be a hit for Korg, anyway.
