The company behind countless touchstone synths, samplers, and pieces of musical hardware, Korg,
recently launched an effort to try its hand at building apps for
musicians and producers and have rolled out three new products for the
iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. First up, Korg has reworked its
touch-screen FX unit and synthesizer, the Kaossilator, into the iKaossilator
app ($9.99), which utilizes the iPhone's touchpad to play and
manipulate
150 different sounds along with the ability to easily export
any and all user performances. Korg has also attempted to boil down one
of its most legendary analog synths, the MS-20, to a single app, which
they've conveniently deemed iMS-20
($32.99, pictured above). Said to offer "deep analog-style sound
creation," the app can be controlled with MIDI (via Apple's USB Camera
Connection Kit) and allows for the export of audio directly to SoundCloud. Lastly, Korg's Electribe sampler/sequencer has been reimagined as the iElectribe
iPad app ($9.99), which comes complete with a plethora of built-in
sounds and samples so that users can "simply tap their way to groove
creation." All the aforementioned virtual instruments are available now
through the iTunes app store.- Words: Glenn Jackson
