Ratings and reviews

Good app,nice sketchpad and play tool. Had problems when I bought it,wouldn't save or export audio,but emailed Korg and THEY FIXED IT!! Actually impressed by the speed of response. I can now export to Koala app(sampler) and use my sketches in compositions.

There's one MAJOR PROBLEM that ruins this app: it has NO GRID showing where one note ends and another begins. So when you're playing, you have to remember exactly where to touch to get the correct note. Doing this on a small screen is almost impossible. It's really quite a shame, because otherwise the app would be fantastic. But the lack of a visible reference makes it nearly useless as a serious instrument. Who knows - perhaps that was Korg's intention all along.

Fun, easy to use, easy to make good music quickly. Still some bugs, will stop working midoperation but all i need to do is close and reopen app. Major con is no overdubs ( you only get 5 tracks ) , and no master volume control or individual track volume controls which is a serious design flaw that I can not believe Korg left out. Why?! Despite all that, still fun to play, just not worth $20 , maybe $10
