KORG ELECTRIBE Wave

Edit: Korg responded, and GUESS WHAT!!!!!!! *The backup DOES NOT BACKUP PATCHES!!!!!! I lost *ALL* my patches thanks to restoring!!!!! THAT’S WHY YOU GOT ONE STAR!!!!! ALSO WHY CAN’t YOU JUST SYNC SITH ICLOUD, at least provide a different export, what a joke. WHY CAN’T WE EXPORT PATCHES?!?!? FIX THIS AND I’ll CHANGE MY RATING. FOR THE PRICE WE PAID, THIS IS UNNACEPTABLE.

This app has really impressed me tbh. I had never used an Electribe, only a Groovebox. For what it is, it’s pretty cool. It has a pretty great sound first of all. It doesn’t sound cheap. It has some very thick, deep, gritty sounds in it. And some great drum sounds. It sounds crisp and clear. It’s fairly user friendly. Learning to create songs by chaining patterns wasn’t too difficult. I really like how there’s an optional 8 measures to work with. And the keys are quite responsive to touch on here which has been cool. It’s been fun learning to use it. I still haven’t been able to sync it with my other gear though. That’s one of my main obstacles with it now. Other than that I think it’s pretty great.

Was having fun until I learned there was no undo. Not opening this up again. Precious time wasted

I also own an Electribe EA-1, manual transfers between the two are super simple. This is great because I can write music anywhere, and and then come home and use my physical synths with perfect results. The sound engine is great, and sounds really good through studio monitors. The Mixer and multi track sequencer is beautiful, and versatile enough to make quality masters.

I love this synth! I cut my teeth doing experimental music with a green Korg ES-1 back in the 00s and have really enjoyed making music in the Korg grove box format again. This app really feels like an instrument and I have fun playing it whether I’m working on something serious or just messing around. It sounds very, very good. If I could ask for one feature for the dev team to consider it would be to add another poly voice mode where the amp doesn’t reset to 0 when you play a note a second time. Sometimes called ‘analog amp’. I often use this for generative ambient music (because it’s 8 wavetable synths 😳) but the amp volume resetting and clicking kills the mood. Good thing I also love to abuse this thing in mono mode with extreme FM settings and make it scream. Don’t hear any clicks over the beautiful noise! Any chance we can get presets in AUV3 at some point? see it in action on my YouTube channel called ‘cryptonym’

U prolly Don’t like it

I’m sorry. I love korg stuff. But this was a headache to figure out. Not user friendly and would like my money back.

This is a fully functional groovebox with just as much if not more features than a standard all in one device. I’ve been using this with my Korg NanoKey Studio. Awesome pairing but it seems the knobs and pad buttons don’t work about half the time I connect it. Disconnecting and reconnecting seems to fix the issue. Still a bit annoying though

As audio unit it is available as a single wavetable. It would be nice to have aces to patches/programs and drums

The app only shows the splash screen when it’s starting and it crashes. Happened after a recent update. Used only for a couple of months then it became unusable. Wasted my money.
