"http://apps4idevices.com/read/korg-ims-20iMS-20 is a complete music production app for the iPad, consisting of a complete recreation of the legendary Korg MS-20 analog synth with patching capability, a 16-step analog sequencer based on Korg's SQ-10, a six-part drum machine with dedicated pads, and a seven-channel mixer with 14 types of effects. It also offers dual Kaoss Pads, one for controlling the notes using a choice of 31 scales, as well as the gate control, and the other for controlling assignable parameters from the synth and drum tracks. The sequencer can be used to control notes, gate, volume, pan, parameters and voltage levels, but also used as part of the synths patching capability. The synth has incredible power in it's 'pre-wired' state, but the semi-modular aspect is where you find the real scope for creative sound design. Make sure you listen to the audio below to hear how powerful the synth engine is, and watch the video to see how easy it is to navigate, create unique sounds and add them straight into the song sequence. I purposely didn't use any of the effects in the video or the first audio track to demonstrate how much you can do with the synth engine alone. The effects can be heard in second audio track, with a bit of delay in a couple of the patterns, and the decimator effect in the other parts. The iMS-20 comes with SoundCloud export capability, Sonoma Audio Copy, and is now also able to be directly connected to other apps using AudioBus. It also offers both coreMIDI and virtual MIDI which creates even more possibilities with other apps or hardware. This definitely one of my favourite and most used synths, especially when I'm looking to create new sounds, or just searching for inspiration during the recording process. The iMS-20 has such a unique sound and incredible scope; definitely ... A Killer App!
