Audiobus for the iPad came out today. Enables linking audio between apps.

The Kronos samples sounded louder, but even when I adjusted the volume accordingly, the Kronos still sounded thicker and richer, and seemed to have more motion in those parts of the sounds that had motion. Though it's kind of funny to compare two simulations, without comparing either one of them to a real PolySix! But the Kronos certainly sounds "better" to my ears, meatier.

I'm curious, did you notice any latency in triggering the iPad compared to playing the internal version of the sound?

It has to do with the audio processor of the IPAD.

Re AudioBus....Between compatible apps, that is! The list is short for now. Hopefully devs will update their apps. It's a brilliant idea.

Cool. But also, if people don't know about it, check into the app MIDIBRIDGE which allows linking MIDI between apps.

Two synths and two sequences in an easy to follow GUI.

You can use a drum part like a bass part. In that case, you can have 2 synths + 1 bass synth + 5 drums part.

You can program bass sounds but no play keyboard in pattern or song mode, just into edition.

How to do it ? easily: just scroll down into preset list and you'll find bass patches.

Thanks for the demo first of all!

The iPad Polysix simply sounds just poor compared to the Kronos, not speaking of the original. It's no possible replacement at all in my ears, just another iFun synth.

App also need some basic features to allow further edition

-Export pattern / songs to midi (separate tracks, separate patterns and full song, why not)
-Export audio tracks (pattern, song, separate tracks)
-Midi Sync ! (come on.. this is incredible).

Cheers

I'd like to hear a comparison!

A comparison between the iPolysix iPad app and the Korg Kronos iPolysix-Ex. Parameters on the iPolysix were copied from select Polysix-Ex patches in the Kronos. The ipad is connected to the Kronos via USB and is running through the Kronos using its insert effects. The first sounds played are from the ipad followed by the Kronos.

Nice comparison!! clearly kronos sounds better..
This proves that korg's legacy collection (polysix, ms-20) SOUNDS DIFFERENT than kronos' emulation of both instrument..

Just installed Konkreet Performer app on my iPad 2. Then on my Windows PC, Loopmidi and a couple of other program like script for Ableton Live and a max program. All required programs are listed on the KP web site.

Using Reaktor / Photone ensemble. OSC activated in Live / Reaktor.

Absolutely wonderful control.

KP cost $11
