KORG iMono/Poly

This synth sounds great! That’s the only reason I didn’t ask for a refund. But there is no AUv support. It can’t sync to midi clock from other apps (Cubasis, Garageband or whatever) so delays and arp’s are out of sync. And it does not show up in Cubasis interapp list as a midi instrument so I had to go via Audiobus and make both a midi track and audio track in Cubase to get some recording done. Fix that and I will give it 5 stars! Now it’s just a great standalone synth with a Korg Gadget counterpart.

Last update removed two fun features and did not address any of the long standing issues with this great synth. There probably was some deal with the Monopoly people so that the skin could only be used for a year. OK, whatever. But to also remove the randomization feature is just petty. On top of not listening to users for years asking for AUv3 support and using the (BOUGHT AND PAID FOR) presets in Gadgets, this just reeks of abandonware.

This synth is quite powerful, just like its VST counterpart, but with slightly better looks. @Korg Will this ever be made AUv3 compatible though? I would like to integrate this synth better with other apps, but I might have to look elsewhere is this isn’t implemented. Same goes for iWavestation and iPolysix, which I do not own yet for iOS.

The Korg iMono/Poly is a fantastic synthesizer with astonishing presets and lot’s of tweaking & tuning. Works great with an external MIDI keyboard. It’s not cheap, but if you’re looking for one of the best synthesizers on iOS, this Korg is an excellent option.

I’ve made some great patches on here, I request for there to be a way to transfer patches from here to the desktop computer vst version

If it had the following features added: -The ability to store preset files on the device you’re using and store them on a flash drive. -Keyboard portamento to filter cutoff. -Double tap a knob to zero the parameter also a fine adjustment. -The ability to save the mod wheel position in the preset. -Scroll and lock keyboard to a key other than C at the beginning and end. -Put the octave switches on the left when using the large keyboard so the preset menu does not block them. -Key transpose for the arpeggiator. -An undo/redo feature. - A portamento on/off button. -Having the Arpeggio rate (MG 2) a mod destination. Add these to it and it will get five stars. Still, it’s a good little synth.

Why create a great synth app, then handcuff it without the ability to use it in AUM?? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Come on Korg this is ridiculous!!!! It’s been how many years now? I deleted Gadget because this. Gadget was born on iOS yet you give the flexibility to desktop only. I never bought the desktop version because of your shady business dealings on iOS. I spent over $200 on your iOS products. To access gadgets on desktop, to put in your personal daw, is $200. Over it.

This is a great sounding synth. Audio Unit capability is need to take it into the future.

Korg’s iMono/Poly is the virtual synth I’m enjoying the most at the moment, but the lack of AUv3 support keeps me from using it. With Moog’s Model D app, I can have three tracks in my DAW each with its own Model D instance and each Model D instance using a different patch. But with iMono/Poly, I can only have one instance of it. So, for composition, I have to use Model D instead and forego the features of iMono/Poly. Not to mention that not all DAWs work with IAA, and the ones that do still work better with AUv3. I’d even be happy to pay again for a separate AUv3 version of iMono/Poly.
