KORG iMS-20 is an analog synth studio; a complete recreation of the Korg MS-20 analog synth, an analog sequencer, a drum machine, a mixer, and even Korg`s Kaoss Pad technology. Plus, you can share your ...
Gadget please or a dedicated sequencer need to sequence             Gadget please Pnto
It sounds great and you can have a blast messing around I do wish it could be used as a plug in They should also find a way to incorporate it into Korg Gadget                     Loving it WillyO1
So close yet not quite there Why can t you change the pitch of a sequence using the keyboard Should be a basic feature but still missing Midi connectivity link AB3 still behind the times This is a great synth and potentially one of the best iOS music apps but you seem to have forgotten about it             Why behind the times TH1224
It has a rate me nag screen that may pop up while you re playing like it did for me     Be careful playing live Fhhvfgkuvv
I have a 3 4 year old iPad Please fix this bug     Crashes when I try to load new preset ocmartz
I own a lot of Korg gear hardware and apps                     Great App Masufa
Seems Korg has abandoned this nice app There used to be awesome templates and shared sessions to collaborate on but they ve disabled or broken that crucial feature You have to manually re enter patches patterns songs etc by hand Just like the 70s Ugh     Can no longer share or download sessions Meta Axis
Pluses Beautiful GUI This iOS version has a much better GUI compared to the desktop AU VST version Nice icon too Compatible with the mini MS 20i USB controller keyboard yes you can do patching in this synth via the hardware controller Great classic sound ability x2 synths and drum sounds Minuses No Korg Gadget integration No IAA transport controls This is a problem with ALL of Korg s apps Poor MIDI support making this more of a standalone audio source rather than an interactive performance synth Lousy sequencer for modern devices It s fine to mimic old analog sequencers in software for fun and certain sequencing styles but not when that s the ONLY option on offer iDS 10 makes iMS 20 s sequencing look like childish primitive unusable garbage iDS 10 and iMS 20 share so much in common that it might have been better for Korg to release an iDS 20 merging the best of both worlds No polyphonic mode The desktop MS 20 plugin supports polyphony so there s no reason not to have it here as an option Fiddly controls This is a problem with ALL of Korg s apps especially Gadget No data exchange via email No data exchange at all the Soundcloud integration is absolutely NOT acceptable for patch exchange             Pluses and minuses but mostly good dysamoria
It does not seem to work well with inter app audio glitches saturates and sometimes downright goes into a bizarre continuous sound loop Please fix             Great app but some glitches Nexus1001
I play in a funk duo band called urbanfunkmachine nothing but this app and a live drummer Korg You Guys Rock KORG ims 20 Still 1 app                     Nothing compares to this Urbanfunkmachine
I m not going to repeat all the rave reviews Read them it s all true One downside For those new to synths iMS 20 will most likely be a challenge                     I ve had iMS 20 for years and I still think it s one of the best Jareditor
Okay the MS 20 is my favorite monosynth I have yet to come across the sound potential of one that is more pleasing to me That said I have yet to own the hardware due to two reasons First is space I simply don t have room for a mini yet Second I think the patch panel is difficult to understand That s where this app comes in I bought it to learn the structure of the MS 20 before buying the real thing Unfortunately the manual in the app doesn t offer a lot of information regarding the patch panel but there are videos from Automatic Gainsay on Youtube where he thoroughly explains not only the panel but the entire synth Those videos invaluable when learning how to use the MS 20 This app has tons of features that make it well worth the money a full fledged sequencer effects etc But my favorites are the greying out of ins outs on the patch panel so you know where you can and can t patch and the zoom ms 20 which allows you to zoom in on the control panel and patch bay extremely useful when hooked up to a midi keyboard so all you have is the controls without the keyboard on the screen In short this app is a fantastic alternative to the hardware and a great educational tool                     Great MS 20 educational tool TBMisamazing
Needs many new things such as Link support     Time to update this one Korg DrewA_
THIS This app was my reason back in the day for buying n iPad 1 This ran runs great on an iPad 1 just as it does on today s latest models Would love to see Korg add MIDI channel select but apart from that from the delicious skeuomorphic realistic look and feel to the sound as demonstrated on youtube being comparable to a real MS 20 make this app one of the best You have to understand how to program a synth patch to use it effectively plenty of tutorials on YT or use it as a means of learning that Fantastic Highly recommended                     My first synth app for iOS still my favorite MusicInclusive LLC
I trigger the iMS 20 from an M Audio Oxygen 8 v2 via the Camera Connection Kit through a powered USB hub This app is also behaving fairly well with AUM I have sweet spot for all things MS 20 since I grew up with one                     MIDI is working nice reproduction of the MS 20 Damien Margo
I use the iMS 20 on my iPad 2 I have several other synth apps but none I have found offer such a vast combination of sound generation possibilities This app does it all if you take the time to learn about this program The info in the manual is great for beginners too With enough knowledge one can emulate virtually any musical instrument and produce an entire composition from rhythm to lead This app offers so much for so little compared to prices of physical synth machines You can even utilize dual kaossilator pads or a virtual keyboard for live performing or recording If you make music or are interested in learning how to create electronic beats this app is a must have As a newcomer to synthesis the challenge of understanding alone is enough to occupy my focus for hours My favorite aspect to using this app are the results I see while merely using the app Becoming familiar with the array of variations and manipulations available will perhaps keep me entertained and learning for years to come                     New Favorite Instrument BWallHair
Love this app El sonido es muy similar a el sintetizador que emula Se las recomiendo 100                     Amazing korg App Yayo3000
Death of tone and harmonics that this can create is incredible The only thing I wish it had was the capability of using Tabletop One of my top apps                 Top shelf sounds The Clidesdale
Court is obviously the world leader and synth The app is brilliantly designed and works seamlessly with the MS 20 controller that came out in the early 2000 s I love the sound the patchbay the drums the sequencer triggering It is absolutely brilliant                     Unmatched MusicProf1234
This is a one of a kind treasure I bought this 5 6 yrs ago and I m still finding ways to build new awesome synth presets I may never be able to afford an original tactile analog synth but this is great compensation I haven t seen anything like it in the App Store since There are other VSTs out there but this one gives the biggest bang for the buck It has MIDI a drum sequencer 5 drum voices a mixer 16 song pads to mix in song mode it has dual oscillators it has patches envelop filters 2 Assignable KORG KAOOS touch pads                     Always The Best Tobias227
EPIC worth every penny                 Korg Gummy swarm
Great authentic sound and an excellent learning curve I use this with the pic version creations of new sounds Has me deep into synthesis other than just making beats I LOVE U KORG                     Very nice emulation Greggdx
Awesome sound one of the 1st apps for my iPad Air 1 Awesome sequencer Drums would be IDEAL if they could be tweaked LIVE However this app would rule if it had Midi I O How hard can it be to add this feature Every other iSynth has it I have had iMS20 for over a year still use it glad to see it was recently updated for bug fixes etc ya forgot one feature THE Midi Sorry WIST doesn t cut it It s toy technology If I could Sync this w Hardware I would add it to the table and not just record 4 bar loops for other apps gear to play with I ain t buying the hardware the beauty of this is the state saving I run the out into an analog filter Anyway big fan never the less Korg rules SD4000 delay Toneworks Microkorg 2 ElectribeR EMX monotron Delay All that Sup son                 Super Sick MS i Synth GIVE US Midi SYNC Inf8dcy
I ve loved my kong legacy collection so naturally I got this it s a close recreation of the sound It s a great mono synth but I have to admit I grew used to using it as a poly synth with the software I d love that to be an option here                 Would be complete to me if poly was a choice The popers
More support for the taktile would be great I bought both of these for each other Booting in low power mode is a pain And half the controller does nothing seems that korg would want people to use there products together not so much             Could be better Synth kinda
Great app fun easy to use but also in depth enough to make something great The only area for improvement is in the exporting capabilities I d really like Dropbox capabilities or a way to export WAV patterns to iCloud AudioCopy doesn t work and their product isn t really that great after all                     Good app but please include Dropbox capabilities Wolfram Sark
I love this synth I would love to see iMS 20 and the 80 s Classic iPolysix integrated with Gadget                     Fantastic reproduction of original one request Mikes jello
Since the original MS20 or the mini isn t really something you carry around and start playing at say the airport or in a car this app gives you a really close emulation of the synth and a sequencer to experiment with and get astoundingly life like results Really impressive app Great reproduction of panel sonics character and functions features When you aren t with your synths this app furnishes you with limitless and useable synthesis power I even tried some tricky patches from using the hardware version namely the paraphony via sample and hold trick and it does just what it should If you re a synthesis dork like me you ll likely love it Five star app                     Monosynth Mobile Master s Program InAnalogueNormal
This a good synth but I was disappointed that I could not link DS 10 DS 10 via Bluetooth They should do something about this It would great to be able to link my Nintendo DSs to my iPad via Bluetooth                 Good synth but linking problems Athistled
Having spent many hours with its analog counterpart I find myself increasingly impressed by how well this manages to emulate the MS 20 hardware They sound and behave in very similar ways I ve no hesitation in declaring this app to be a fine substitution the hardware in almost any context There are differences to be sure Both hardware software have their benefits and detriments But the fact remains this is a truly impressive emulation an incredibly powerful modular synthesizer available on a touchscreen device This future I like very much                     Substitution Selectedacre
Sitting in my personal studio surrounded by analog and digital hardware yet I m reaching for the iMS20 at every turn This synth has a character of its own that makes it a fundamental tool for someone like me who needs something new and exciting when sculpting sounds Will not disappoint                     Absolutely Instrumental CrackBattttttt
Got it after the iOS 8 update so fortunately I didn t have to go through the pain others did Very happy with the app slightly different than the real thing in terms exact settings but very close Love having the sequencer                     Love it Bob Hart
I love this synth I was considering getting the hardware version but thought I d try this before shelling out the money The presets are great but the real fun comes with making your own and experimenting There is definitely a learning curve and it certainly helps to know what the knobs and patches are for but you ll figure it out just tweeting around People have things to say about Korgs pricing and whatnot but the fact of the matter is its worth every penny Amazing sound and endless modulation are what this app is all about                     Best iOS synth out there Endlight1981
Update Thanks for making it HAPPEN None of my Korg synths are working since the iOS 8 update Moog Cubase others have updated Korg make it happen                     Come on Korg PTFI
Thanks Korg                     Finally Ios8 compatible robertginkgo
Two weeks and counting deleting this once fun and great sounding synth that has now become an expensive waste of space This lack of consumer support has kicked Korg off my hardware wish list as well Lots of better tools out there anyway So long Korg Okay soooo glad this is back up and running but still have hard feelings I had to really scramble to program other apps to replace this while it was down so only giving 3 stars for this fantastic sounding synth and musical tool maybe time will help me forget being jilted for so long             Tired of waiting for iOS 8 compatibility was Nitpick Pete
THANK YOU KORG                     Now Working On iOS 8 AshFallenBrightly
Crashes within a second or two on iOS 8 Please Korg you can t charge for this app and not keep up with development otherwise it s not even a toy let alone any professional use     Crash on launch on iOS 8 anableps
Any reason why this isn t working on iPad OS 8         Uhh IceColdRocker
Gotta love a 30 dollar app that doesn t work with the new update Get on this korg     ios8 fail Faeker
Please fix all your apps are crashing on my iPad mini since I ve updated to IOS 8 Need for a gig     IOS 8 Crash Michaelmars1984
This is a great app however after ios 8 was installed it will start the app just fails to load and goes right back to the desktop     Crashes after iOS 8 install Jonathan Weinbaum
With iOS 7 this app opens and crashes If you arent going to support it pull it from the App Store     Really
It was a good app but now it crashes every time I tried to zoom in on my retina iPad mini Ive tried reinstalling it and restarting the iPad but no dice Please fix        Double tap zoom crash
Having spent many hours with its analog counterpart I find myself increasingly impressed by how well this manages to emulate the MS20 hardware They sound and behave in very similar ways Ive no hesitation in declaring this app to be a fine substitution the hardware in almost any context There are differences to be sure Both hardwaresoftware have their benefits and detriments But the fact remains this is a truly impressive emulation an incredibly powerful modular synthesizer available on a touchscreen device This future I like very much                 Substitution
Do NOT use iOS8 it will crash     FIX THIS NOW
Great application very robust and versatile Connected to a USB to Lightening adapter for USB audio out and you have the equivalent of the real IMS20 With that said I was very disappointed today to connect my hardware and discover that the application will start but then close with the new iOS update I plan to give this app 5 stars after the fix has been made     NEEDS IOS 8 SUPPORT ASAP
This is a great replica for of the actual mini synth from KORG Love the way you can remove the keyboard in the UI so you get more space for controls Its no the best synth for iPad though as it wasnt designed for the iPad or with touch in mind Thor Magellan and Sunrizer probably even Casini are more practical iPad synths My extra sourness with iMS20 is the inexplicable and weird limitation to only accept MIDI via Channel 1 This is a turn off There is absolutely no technical reason why this would be limited to Channel 1 When KORG updates and allows to pick any of the 16 channels Ill update my rating to 4 stars Right now its basically useless in my setup KORG needs to understand the times when iPad was a music making gimmick are gone and most people hook up multiple MIDI devices at once via USB ports or things like iConnectMIDI        Great synth but limited to MIDI Channel 1
App is useless under new OS Cmon Korg get with it     App crashes on startup iOS7
updated my ipad 2 to IOS 8 Everytime I try to open KORG i get the title screen then the app closes itself Please fix     Keeps Closing on my IPAD 2
This is a great app however after ios 8 was installed it will start the app just fails to load and goes right back to the desktop     Crashes after iOS 8 install
Well it was a stable app However since updating to the latest iOS it constantly crashes when I try to zoom in Please fix        Double tap zoom crash
The title of this says it all One of my favorite synths doesnt support the latest OS update     No iOS 8 Support Crashes on Launch
Cant dial in a tempo without a lot of hassle This is a 5 star app with a fatal flaw Please fix this     Tempo stink
I love this synth I would love to see iMS20 and the 80s Classic iPolysix integrated with Gadget                 Fantastic reproduction of originalone request
Ive tried restarting uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing works The app wont open Im using an iPad air so its not the hardware Please update the app for compatibility     Since iOS 8 wont work
Wont start both this and ielectribe tribe do this Please fix I use these very day and cant now              Crashes to desktop after iOS 8 update
Excellent for previewing sounds that I might try on my MS20 Mini while Im away from it Ability to zoom on the knobs on the synth is a huge plus as it makes them MUCH easier to adjust However lack of ability to zoom on the knobs in the sequencer section make sequencer edits a frustrating experience              Very good MS20 emulation but sequencer is frustrating to use
Sitting in my personal studio surrounded by analog and digital hardware yet Im reaching for the iMS20 at every turn This synth has a character of its own that makes it a fundamental tool for someone like me who needs something new and exciting when sculpting sounds Will not disappoint                 Absolutely Instrumental
Every time without fail zoom in CRASH I am using a brand new iPad Air        Crashes when I double tap to zoom
Sadly it crashes when i try and access the VCA and then with ordinary use the volume reduces to an unusable level Will bump up to 5 stars when its fixed     Unusable
This a good synth but I was disappointed that I could not link DS10 DS10 via Bluetooth They should do something about this It would great to be able to link my Nintendo DSs to my iPad via Bluetooth              Good synth but linking problems
Like others have said this crashes every time you zoom in on the synth parameters in iOS 7 Please fix this Korg Its a 5 star beast of a synth otherwise     Crashes on Zoom
With IOS update     Nonfunctional
with an app The sonic possibilities are limitless                 I have never had more fun
Something went wrong when I updated my IPad my knobs on the app are moving opposite of my hand movementsis it possible to get another update                 Korg is Great
Contrary to what Korg says in their manual there is really no practical MIDI functions in this It does not respond to simple MIDI clock     No MIDI
THANK YOU KORG                 Now Working On iOS 8
Please fix all your apps are crashing on my iPad mini since Ive updated to IOS 8 Need for a gig     IOS 8 Crash
The app was Awesome when I could use but since the ISO8 update all Korg apps crash Please fix the bugs fast There is a lot of disappointed people who just want to use the app they purchased Until the bugs are fixed you wont be able to use this on an IPad This is really frustrating because I use this app for recording music Thanks for nothing ISO8 update     ISO8 Crashes all Korg Apps
Crashes on ios8     Needs ios8 update
Thanks Korg                 Finally Ios8 compatible
Any reason why this isnt working on iPad OS 8        Uhh
That ios8 is not compatible with any of your companies apps except gadget and Kaossilator you need to get on the ball and update the rest of your apps to ios8 and with the latest audiobus sdk where appropriate That this was not done already is a huge disappointment It would be one thing if these were 99 cent apps They each cost a small fortune and this needs to be done pronto or I will not hesitate to go through apple customer service     All Korg Applications

As title states please fix              App crashes after IOS 8 update please fix
Great app fun easy to use but also indepth enough to make something great The only area for improvement is in the exporting capabilities Id really like Dropbox capabilities or a way to export WAV patterns to iCloud AudioCopy doesnt work and their product isnt really that great after all                 Good app but please include Dropbox capabilities
I paid 30 so I expect some attention to this Free app makers dont sit on their hands for a year while their app crashes Give me money back Korg and Apple or fix this The app was 5 stars for sound and design but if I could give zero stars for being ignored after my money is taken I would     One year later still crashes on panel zoom every time Korg doesnt care
Very true to the original app Easy to use and Im very happy with it              My first synth app
Gotta love a 30 dollar app that doesnt work with the new update Get on this korg     ios8 fail
I love this synth I was considering getting the hardware version but thought Id try this before shelling out the money The presets are great but the real fun comes with making your own and experimenting There is definitely a learning curve and it certainly helps to know what the knobs and patches are for but youll figure it out just tweeting around People have things to say about Korgs pricing and whatnot but the fact of the matter is its worth every penny Amazing sound and endless modulation are what this app is all about                 Best iOS synth out there
This app was my introduction to the world of synths sequencers and drum machines Its spare retro minimalist visual interface is starkly beautiful and amazingly functional The tone is rich and gorgeous The builtin effects sound fantastic and allow to create some incredible soundscapes I will say that learning to control the power of this app takes time but iMS20 will reward you for your efforts After almost 3 years of continual use I am still discovering new techniques I have learned so much from using this app and the music Ive been able to create is beyond what I though I could do I highly recommend the iMS20 by KORG                 This app is the bomb
Update Thanks for making it HAPPEN None of my Korg synths are working since the iOS 8 updateMoogCubase others have updatedKorg make it happen                 Come on Korg
I love the fact that its a full synthsequencer with fully indepth sounds that can be tweaked a million different ways a million different times However with iOS7 it crashes now when I try to zoom in to the VCA Also polyphony would be a HUGE plus Both of these things could be included I an update Which I hope they do very soon              Pros and cons
Got it after the iOS 8 update so fortunately I didnt have to go through the pain others did Very happy with the app slightly different than the real thing in terms exact settings but very close Love having the sequencer                 Love it
New update for iOS 7 still crashes on start up     Update does not work
Please make it easier to dial in a specific BPM Also more presets would enhance the app further This is such an excellent synth my favorite from Korg Highly recommended                 Great Software Synth iMS20
This synth is amazing Please add Jack support                 Amazing
Wow what a ride has been with this app I bought it years ago at full price and still is completely worth it The possibilities are staggering with the patch bay and the sequencer from just a monophonic synth I have made lots of songs and sounds in it and keeps meeting my expectations of what high caliber synth should be This thing is a legend no wonder it is being reissued as the MS20 mini it is that good                 My first real synth
Crashes within a second or two on iOS 8 Please Korg you cant charge for this app and not keep up with development otherwise its not even a toy let alone any professional use     Crash on launch on iOS 8
I Love it And idea for a new feature would be to enable typing in for values because the little knobs are hard to turn and get an exact number for example getting the BPM to be exactly 130 is difficult                 Great Synth
