KORG iELECTRIBE for iPad for Negative User Reviews
✓ Overpriced and well not so much fun.For some reason this software version of the popular line of korg electribes feels unfinished. i mean would it have been that difficult to add one voice for mono synth sounds ala ea1 style. i also really put off by having the filter put into the effects section instead of right on the unit. i mean the original electribes could not have used more power than the ipads cpu puts out so why is this not possible. same goes for no song mode why the hell not. dont get me wrong there are time were the electribe does tread into similar territory as its real world counterparts. there are some advantages with being able to look through the list of patterns. overall its kind of cool but leaves you feeling a bit let down. this is korg afterall. i would give this a pass and head over to electrify if i was to do it over again with hindsight. this is a very limited groove box when you get down to it allthough it does look great and sound decent its just missing a lot of what makes the hardware electribes so much fun..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Too basicAs a long fan of of korg hardware and previous owner of an esx1 I'm afraid to say I'm pretty disappointed with this. The sounds are good for a basic drum machine, but for the price I expect much more. First, original ESX1 was a SAMPLER- I want to be able to import my own loops, not just use the built in sounds. Second- this really needs a better, more advanced filter like the hardware- sound mangling is way too limited here. I loved my esx1, and would still own the hardware version, if the memory wasn't so limited on it. Korg had a great opportunity to overcome the limited memory of the ESX1 here, just like they did when they updated the hardware to SD cards, but again this falls short of the possibilities..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Capable of massive soundsSome baffling omissions stop this from being a stellar app. No song mode; you can't edit sound banks; you can't upload your own samples; no background audio (why???); global effects only. Despite the negatives it works very well on the iPad, it's still a joy to use, very easy to learn and is capable of producing some epic noises..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Not as good as I expectedI have a korg emx so was looking forward to this app, but have found it a bit disappointing, not great for synth parts but ok for drums..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Lame and overpriced.I'm sorry. I trusted the Korg brand, but this application really is worth very little. For almost US$20, you would expect something really powerful and user-friendly, which is not all the case of the Korg iElectribe app. Avoid wasting your money. There are certainly better apps around to create better patterns, and much cheaper! Branding is not all. Quality also counts....Version: 0
✓ Doesn’t play well with other appsAll this app needs is proper IAA support with AUM and audiobus. The iPhone version works way better in terms of compatibility. The sound on this drum machine is phenomenal ,but while not supported it just languishes as a bit of a toy. This one app can be my main go to for a warm sounding drum machine but it just doesn’t play well with other apps..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Ielectribe once had sample selection.. What happened?I know ielectribe had sample part selection before they released the gorillaz version.. What happened why did KORG do this? Does anyone out there still have it on an old device? Over the years KORG has shot me in the heart many times. First it was this, then the broken snare on the volca beats. The shotty build quality of the NanoKey Studio, Buggy and missing features in the electribe sampler. KORG has been evil in their business tactics.. I just don't believe KORG really cares anymore...Version: 1.7.1
✓ Should be five stars butNo Ableton sync? Korg might get a second wind from this if they added some more modern features like gadget support etc..Version: 1.7.1
✓ No nanoDownloaded this thinking you could export to nano studio which you cant? Why its one of the best daws on the ipad. Only 2 stars sorry it would be 5 if you could..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Audiocopy, korg are you listening?This app for me would be 5x if korg would include audiocopy. Right now iElectribe and ims20 are standalone apps, why with such a great platform like iPad are korg leaving out this essential feature? "every serious music app should have audiocopy..Version: 0
✓ Does not work on iOS8Does not work on iOS8.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Unusable for rock musicI downloaded this app thinking I could use it to make drum beats for indie rock songs- not at all the case. First problem is that the kick drum sounds like a deep bass, no resemblance to a normal kick drum you would hear in a drum kit. And that was kinda the theme for the rest of the drum sounds as well. Even after tinkering with all the knobs, still sounded like dance-music beats. So basically you get one default sound for each drum (kick, snare, high hat open/closed, ect.) and then you tweak those sounds using knobs. There isn't like a list of 10-20 snare drums you can choose from, just 1 base sound and then tweak with the knobs. Having said that, I think most people download this app with dance music in mind- so the 2 stars are really just because the app doesn't work for my needs, but it doesn't claim to work for rock music anyway…. Otherwise, interface is user friendly and fun to mess around with. In summary- fun app for dance/electro beats. No place in indie rock music..Version: 1.6.2
✓ No keys?!Why aren't the buttons on the bottom keys like on the actual electribes?! Would make this app so much more useful..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Careful using it as externally synced instrumentGood VA drum machine/modules are very rare and iElectribe is a versatile good sounding one. Unfortunately though if you want to sync it or play it remotely through a daw the latency makes it unusable. Around 35 ms running on an ipad3 into Ableton Live. You can live with it if you record and nudge the audio. Other drum apps like DM1 can do sync ok but aren't as flexible sonically as this which does sound great..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Wish there was a song functionI think this app is really cool but I would love to be able to add my own songs in or record and reuse the beats I create in this app and use them in a separate app to make an awesome dj experience if this could be done I would gladly change my rating to a 5 star :-) something to consider as an update I recon.Version: 1.1.1
✓ It's ok - but it could be a lot better! No Export mode!Those who are hyping it - yes - it is looks good and on the surface it is put together good. But no export! So that makes the "No Song" mode even worse because you cannot stitch together sequences so at least you can play your songs to recording them into workstation via the headphone jack. That would not be the best quality but better than nothing. Yeah you can stand over it and push the buttons to re-create the song arrangements - sequence live. And do that for every song you want to playback. It seems they could easily add a song mode (at least 5 songs) if no exporting. Or have a midi option to allow midi files to be ported via wifi or the dock. I see why it has dropped off the top 20 list of music apps since I bought it. If you are new at digital music machines and recording - then this is a decent intro for you for the price. The real hardware cost a lot more..Version: 0
✓ IOS 8?Hurry up! A 20$ app shuld have been updated before ios8.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not up to dateWaste of cash right now. Great instrument locked behind a wall of neglect. Sounds like the Electribe, but not even IAA. New Korg stuff sounds worse and is less programmable (ie- boring) and the old stuff like this are still $30 on the app store, but completely lacking any features that would make it useful in a modern context. Shame. Don’t buy..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Well at least this saves me the $500 I would have spend on theI bought this app because I read I could cut and paste sounds into the kaossilator and that it does well so that's what the first two stars are. The next three stars are missing because where are some nice beats? I was a pro dj top 3 ranker in another country before and man the beats here are kindergarten. I managed to find 5 that I cut and paste out of the whole app. And buyers please beware that this is a drum kit machine not a full synthesizer so don't expect and synth leads or a single sexy saxophone etc. I'm skeptical about purchasing the other synth app that korg has in the App Store because it may be skimpier than the first two I bought and I've bought almost every music production app in the store. The korg kaossilator needs more loops: either please sell some or point us where to buy them. And this app ... Well I have a gift certificate that I was going to use to buy your hardware version but I'm going to spend it on something else..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Virtual paperweightJust another example of Korgs fantastic range of abandonware..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Depends on your tasteThis is a beautiful looking app which can produce great loops judging from the preset loops. However it tends to sound a bit samey and definately suited to certain genres such as hard edged dance music. Personally i prefer something like electrify which is way more flexible, much less restricted soundwise (uses samples), and integrates easier with other apps. For the price though can't really complain. Really needs audio copy to clipboard!!.Version: 0
✓ Is this really a Korg product?Might have been OK seven years ago. Would be OK today as a freebee but certainly not at this ludicrous price. The app looks and sounds dated, has no programming function, lacustre effect section... Give it a wide berth and save your hard earned cash..Version: 1.7.1
✓ DreadfulAnnoying, random. brief hesitations in the looping cause random stutters, pops and clicks. Waste of money. IOS 9.3.2 iPad 2..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Faithful to the original but outdated soundMore than just a toy but too fiddly to really make a tune. The way the Korg machines work is a steep learning curve and doesn't have undos. I wished they had taken advantage of the iPad by displaying more info and making it more into a studio than a reproduction of the little Grooveboxs..Version: 0
✓ No AUv3, more of a toy or a play thingGreat sounds, but can’t open inside DAW still with AUv3. Purchases this app 4 years ago and still waiting for the support.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Too limitingThe drum sounds were good, but I found it more limited than I thought it would be..Version: 1.6.2
✓ No way to export audioItunes transfer doesn't exist anymore and you can't share ("bounce") to Soundcloud as stated in the description. IElectribe for iphone can send audio clips to anywhere but not this app for iPad. Korg, please update this iPad app. At this price, it is totally unacceptable to ignore the need to keep it updated..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Limited, but can be fun, for 50%-offPros: • Generally easy to work with, after a bit of a learning curve. Learning curve should be mostly nonexistent for owners of hardware Elektribe units. • Fun to tweak • Useful for creation of drum/noise loops. Cons: • Not a universal app. Korg is double-dipping with the iPad and iPhone versions of this software. Yes, the GUI on each device is ideally suited to that device, but there's no reason why they couldn't have done that in a universal app. • $20 is a bit much for what it does in comparison to what other apps can get you for the same outlay of cash. I bought it on 50%-off sale and would advise anyone else to do the same. • Lacks IAA transport controls. This is a problem on ALL Korg apps. • Poor MIDI support. • No easy data exchange/backup. • Fiddly controls. A problem on most Korg apps, especially Gadget..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Not quite the hardwareFirst of all, this is the ESX - 1 not the ER - 1. sounds great, i'm going to focus in my review on the ways that this software does not live up to the hardware that it emulates... NO SONG MODE, you can use the browser to select pattern on the fly, but cannot program pattern change data, thus you are not able to manipulate the sounds while the pattern changes at a predetermined time, because if you're in the browser window, you cant work the knobs... (c'mon, lets make an actually useable instrument, not a fun toy), NO touch strip (this was an aspect of the hardware that would have easily converted to the ipad), the tempo dosent hold when you switch patterns (another aspact of the hardware that made live jamming easier with the electribe series) - solve these issuses, and give us free upgrades to the next version, and i'll be happier with this app. the lack of midi can be gotten around with some camera connection thingy (another purchase), this is an iPad issue, not korg's fault... overall, sounds great but lacks some vital functionality.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Missing the keyboard and AUE or Gadget supportMissing the keyboard and AUE or Gadget support.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Not workingNot compatible with IOS 8 Still not compatible IOS 8.02.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Broken featuresOn iPad 4 internal midi (Virtual) doesn't work as the sync is off with other apps including little midi machine, iElectribe also will likely playback at twice the tempo being sent and detected, depending on settings and apps being used I've heard it play back at 4 times the tempo being transmitted. You are better to set tempo manually use no sync options and press play in time with other apps. This can be fiddly and time consuming. On multiple occasions I have attempted to sync this app with a real world Korg Er-1 electribe using lightning adapter and compatible midi interface. Midi Sync is unusable. An update is also required for the app to work correctly with tabletop app.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Korg iElectribeLooking at the interface l'm sure it would be a nice app if it could be used on the 3gs also as hopefully they have support by the new o/s.If l get an ipad l'm sure l'll have some fun with it have'nt got to test it yet so cant report any bugs as yet,until they make it compatible with the 3gs and ipod touch..Version: 0
✓ All good but!It could do with update, iPhone version could be easily modified to be AUv3 and where is EA1 ? Come on kong you can do it!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ THIS IS ONLY FOR IPAD!Just spent an hour trying to get this onto my iPhone! DOH! THIS IS ONLY FOR IPAD! Oh well :(.Version: 0
✓ C’mon Korg, Play Nice!AuV3 please! Bring your great apps into the modern world.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Save up for isparkI love Korg. Their products are great. Their synth apps rock. This app is a toy. It needs a serious revamp and better hardware implementation. It is not usable to a discerning musician..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Ios8Great software from the Kings of Synths......but doesn't work after upgrading to iOS 8. Please guys, get an update out for your loyal subjects or give refunds as I bought the gorillaz electribe after my update only to find its buggered. Review would be 5 stars if it worked..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not worth itI thought this would be a software version of the EMX1 because they skinned it to look like it, even including the tubes. However it doesn’t have a fully functioning synth, Lacks the ability to sequence melody and also lacks the ability to input drums organically by playing them. It’s a cool idea but more of a cash grab by Korg than an actual software version of the machine. Get Grooverider GR16 instead. It’s a real groovebox..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Cannot open bounced audio on iPad?!?Is there anyway to open the exported loops on the iPad in which the loop was created on? I do not have access to a 2nd computer, is that the only way to use the bounced loops? Is there another way to find the files other then using iTunes on a secondary computer? If not, this app is super disappointing. Sounds are great, but unusable if I cannot open the files on the device in which it was created on..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Tutorials crashLooks pretty, but the video tutorials keep crashing immediately they're started, which hardly makes for an easy learning experience..Version: 0
✓ PLEASE FIX ABLETON LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!Having Ableton link bought this app back from the dead, now it's not working and this app is dead to me again, please fix it asap!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.7.1
