For all of you iPad owners/users out there, by now you have probably heard of the two amazing iPad apps from Korg – iElectribe and the iMS-20. These two apps are among the highest rated music making apps on the Apple Store, and it is no surprise considering what you get when you purchase them. Unlike any other hardware manufacturer, Korg is releasing apps that are truly as close to the hardware devices that they emulate as you can get. I have purchased both for my own personal iPad, and have not been able to put them down. The iElectribe is every bit as good as the amazing hardware device from Korg. All of the original presets are there, it is very intuitive to navigate, and it sounds amazing. All you need to do is plug this thing into an amplifier and you are ready to go. The iMS-20 goes one or two steps further than the classic MS-20. Similar to the popular Korg DS-10, the iMS-20 includes the amazing Korg Kaoss pad controllers, and a pattern sequencer. You can really make some amazing sounds and songs with it.
Not surprisingly, there are already tons of how-to videos on YouTube. We have included two of them below. If you are a musician and an iPad owner, you must download these apps today. After viewing these videos, we are sure that you will.
Already own these apps? What do you think of them? We’d love to hear from you.
