Does not work in iOS17
This app is bugging out and does not want to output headphone audio on my iPhone 13 mini with iOS 17. Appears it hasn’t been updated in a while. But apple won’t show you this review…
It’s just a classic
Favorite app
Perfect for inspiration
Paid 20 bucks for this version, and the android version (worth it), plus the 3 bucks for EDM DLC (super worth it). I’ve been using this on and off for the past decade. Every time I come back to it, I remember why I love it so much. It isn’t quite as powerful as the actual kaossolator, which I own, but delivers such a beautiful user interface as a trade off, and the touch precision and grid guide make getting creative less of a trial and error process. The sense of accomplishment you get from making a sick groove, then several more, then intermixing the grooves like a boss DJ is incredibly fun and inspiring, not to mention you can live record these sessions and do whatever you want with the resulting .was file! I’d love to see more purchasable sounds get added in the future, and maybe a cosmetic facelift for these newer phone screen aspect ratios. I find it hard not to overthink when staring at ableton trying to think of a cool melody. The ease of use makes this an easy way to noodle around for new ideas to emulate and turn into a full song. I couldn’t recommend this app enough!
Still no AUv3 for most Korg apps…
Makes me sad 😭
Please add arpeggiator!
The app is great! I like it much better than Kaossilator-2. Please add an arpeggiator to make it the best!
Gate arp please
I own three versions of the hardware Kaossilator. They all have an arp. I have owned this app since the day it was released and in every review and correspondence I have begged for a gate arp. Why can’t they implement one? I would pay an in app purchase for one. It makes this app useless and I never use it. I own all of Korg’s apps and this one is the most crippled out of all of them. Don’t get me wrong- Kaossilators are all touch screen so it isn’t a huge leap for a touch device and they pulled it off well except for the arp. They even allowed the option of turning of the flashing lights as requested by many users they never listened when users asked for an arp. Gate arp! The 12 th year in a row I have requested.... please!! I did pay full price for this app when it came out, which was quite a bit to pay for an app 11 years ago. Come on Korg don’t abandon this app…
great, but volume for individual instruments
fantastic app! i love how well the app matches the features of the physical kaossilator. except the app needs the ability to control individual instrument volumes. others have left reviews asking for this feature, and i continue the request. i’ve personally convinced five people to buy this app. it’s really great.
