Announcing the even more evolved iKaossilator version 3.

The iKaossilator gadget musical instrument app that attained a top sales rank of #1 in the music section of the App Store worldwide, now updated to version 3.

Version 3 adds two powerful functions, taking the iKaossilator to an even higher level. One is the ability to export a project to Ableton Live, a DAW favored by DJs and musicians around the world. The other is iKaossilator Expansions (In-App Purchase), an expansion sound engine for iKaossilator. These new additions bring a high level of practicality to the unbeatable enjoyment of the iKaossilator.

iKaossilator Version 3 - Coming Soon to the App Store.

I just got done playing around with Thor on my brother's iPad. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the app from minimizing while playing it. Other than that, it's a lot of fun. I'm glad I bought it at the last minute. Can't wait to buy an iPad now.

I already know I will never be good enough to bring Thor to it's knees, but, Thor is a BEAST! I feel the same as when I first got Sunrizer, Magellan and Animoog. It's a **** good feeling. I wasn't planning on getting any more ios synths cause I got plenty to work with for years, but you know I take ur recommendations to heart. Thanks for introducing it man. I still don't like Apple but this iPad has me loving touch screen beatmaking life. Wait, I'm still a producer too.

I still think Magellan sits on top, sound, features and function. Animoog doesn't have the features of Magellan and Sunrizer but dammit it sounds SOOOOO **** THICK on my monitors that it kills every other app in sound alone.

Thor, overall, sits in between Sunrizer and Magellan for me. iPolysix is thin sounding and I use my other apps alot more, I hardly ever reach for it. I love Korg and I need to find more uses for their app.

All I need now is an MPC4k app that actually IS a 4k (not that impc bullshit that struggles to live on name alone, no substance) and I can rest easy, life would be complete after that!

This is a really nice update. korg is on a roll. They also have some new Electribe hardware samplers: http://www.korg.com/us/products/dj/electribe_sampler/

The new hardware will be out in a few months, but the updates to Gadget are more than enough to hold me over:

Korg is indeed on a roll. They just dropped another arsenal of bombs:

http://www.korg.com/us/products/dj/el...

http://www.korg.com/us/products/softw...

http://www.korg.com/us/products/dj/vo...

All of the new products feature the killer ability to export projects to Dropbox AND Ableton!

We have been waiting for that capability forever from iMPC and MPC Studio/Ren.

It seems all we get are beta products with a cheeky reply that "...we'll put in a request for that"

Those requests are rarely ever fulfilled before a new beta product is announced and released 6 or 8 months later.

Korg doesn't do a lot of talking and hyping they just deliver both quality hardware and quality software.

Good news, I just found the manual for Thor. Bookmark this.
https://www.propellerheads.se/products/thor/manual/

Also dig into the tutorials.

Thor might seem intimidating at first. But it'll be your Swiss Army Knife of synths after you get the hang of it.

When I first tried it with Reason 4, I was a bit confused by it. I didn't use it much at the time when I had more hardware synths. So now that I've been spending more time with Reason, I'm using Thor a lot, and I have a better grasp of it. Rack Extensions like the Poly 6 and Antidote always ended up in my rack before Thor since R6.5. They're fun to work with. But I have a new appreciation for Thor. I love the whole design. It's the most flexible synth I have. I can't wait to get an iPad, so I can make all my patches, then finish everything in Reason. That really makes it all worth it to me.

checkout this new app:

csSpectral is a real-time, Csound-based, multi-effects processor featuring a Streaming Phase Vocoder and six other FFT-based spectral algorithms. The diverse collection of real-time DSP effects let you create unique textures and timbres by transforming your voice, instrument, or iTunes library. csSpectral also supports Audiobus, allowing you to send and receive audio from other apps, making the processing possibilities nearly endless.
