Korg Module Review!

[@johngirvin3671]

Thanks for the walk through...very kind of you. I remember Korg Gadget was light on CC and some MIDI functions at first release, then it was updated. Module also integrates into that app as I'm sure you know. Acoustic piano sounds are really quite excellent. Have a great service this Sunday!

[@tjmpiano]

John Mike, I guess I will end up owning all your stuff... the mainstage and these great information videos... Can hardly wait to show up at a open mic with just my ipad and a controller... hook into the board and blow some minds....

[@elessary2k1]

I really liked that dark grand sound. I got goosebumps. I was on the fence about purchasing this, but I think you've sold me on it.

[@thomjohn98]

Great video, and am off to purchase the app.. I will be using it in a live performance next week.. Thank you for taking the time to make all the fine videos you do...

[@DaleyWard]

Thank you! This was so useful for me as a new user, especially the a vice on the Garageband workflow! Love your playing, too!

[@mikeyc20]

What a great demo of this app! I love your piano playing! :)

[@DarylWiseJr]

Hopefully Korg helps other music companies get there feet wet with the soft synth! Roland, I want an MKS-20 for iPad/iPhone!! lol! Anyways, sounds good as always John!

[@NormanPeterson]

John.....Your review was top notch... Thank You so much... Blessings & Great Music!!!

[@irishmusico]

Hi John,thanks for the review. I went and bought this app after watching this video. Unfortunately my Ipad 3 which I use with an Alesis Iodock would only give 8 note polyphony on the piano sounds. The electric pianos would get 16. I changed the latency but it made no difference.I am disappointed because the sounds are fantastic. I just wanted to point this out in case anybody else is using an Ipad 3 to run this app. Time to upgrade I think. Phil

[@gkeys88]

Just came across this. Great review! Thanks so much for sharing the info and your insight.

[@EverSoaringEagle]

Sweet! I am mindblown that tech like this is available. Question: are the patches fully editable in a live setting (such as, using transpose on a keyboard controller)?

[@edrock26]

Another excellent and informative video, John Mike! Thank you, for the awesome information.

[@taz9610]

Great review! I how they implement MIDI CC's soon.

[@osayemwenrejeremiahemmanue8227]

Pls sir, I am new to using plug ins.. pls what do you connect lightning adaptor to and the headphone cable

[@pinanaplayer]

Dope review, thanks!

[@swarlayamusic]

Are these Auv3 support? If not then how do I record them on a mobile DAW like GarageBand?

[@colwild]

This looks great! I can't seem to manage synths with all the complicated stuff. Could you recommend a great (heavy duty) volume pedal that goes between the ipad output and the house sound system plugin?

[@kitchensproductions]

Hey Mike. Thanks for the video! Could you add to your description your iPad stand/holder??

[@jaydezproductions2081]

@John Mike. Im experienceing a lot of cut out. Especially when I layer. What do you think is the cause?

[@gideonwaxfarb]

This is an awesome vid! I just got an iPad Air 2 last week, and can't wait to start playing around with this stuff :) Question, if you've got a moment... I understand I can hook a mic up to the iPad and run it through some vocal f/x app.... is it possible to play piano on this Korg app and sing with the vocal f/x at the same time?

[@Johnmike]

Go to your ipad settings and scroll down to you see the org app icon...click on that and then enable "Run in the Background" open the korg app and then open up any other app that's a vocal effects app...but you would need to use a powered usb hub to connect to your ipad and then connect a keyboard and a audio interface to plug your mic up to

[@craigmdtrinity]

Perfect demo, thank you

[@kevnelib]

Pretty awesome stuff my friend

[@Johnmike]

Thanks bro!

[@justindudley2928]

Good'n John!

[@Pr0fessorB1ble]

Quick question: could you use this for keyboards like a Yamaha PSR-EW310?

[@pablogonzalez7814]

Hi John! Really great video!! You explain everything very clearly, thanks a lot for it! ;D I'm wondering on buying this app and I have a question, hope you can answer it, I've been looking for it in the Korg website but I didn't find it.. Is it possible to combine sounds with this module as in a 'split mode'?? I mean, like having a piano on the lower part of the keyboard and an organ in the upper part? Or you just can use one single sound at a time? Thanks in advanced!!

[@Johnmike]

No you can't just single sounds at a time

[@Thestrandedtraveller]

Thanks John! Really helpful... do you happen to know of a way where you can set the velocity curve for the instrument when playing it within gadget? As you can when playing within module? Thanks

[@Johnmike]

+The Stranded Traveller haven’t had much experience with gadget as of yet...I plan on getting it soon and I will be doing a review of it then

[@Thestrandedtraveller]

John Mike Ok no worries... I'll look forward to seeing what you think of it. It's slowly turning me into an iPad only musician!

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

Hi John! Thanks for posting this review. How about the quality of the samples? I mean, if you compare to Grand piano plugins (running in a computer Daw) ? (I dont know if had the chance to test these) sorry for my bad english.

[@Johnmike]

The quality is great...of course they don't compare to some of the VSTS on a computer but they are some of the best I've heard on iPad. I've used this on several occasions when I go out and gig

[@mickey13st]

+John Mike which midi keyboard connected with ipad You use for live gig? Thanx

[@blessedep7]

Wonderful post!

[@Johnmike]

thanks bro!

[@Invalidcrimsonk1ng]

Please tell me that Yamaha is coming out with something similar. I’m a fan of the Korg sound, but Yamaha Motif 👌

[@jonguy5340]

HI John, thank you for your review, just got one right now. Can you help me out on how to layer another program? or combine two sounds in one program? like having piano and strings together something like that and can be edited separately? hope you can help out.. Thank You

[@Johnmike]

Go to your ipad settings and scroll down to you see the org app icon...click on that and then enable "Run in the Background" open the korg app and then open up any other app that's an instrument like sampletank for instance and they will be layered together...also there are a few Piano and strings apps in the Korg app...you can control the volume of the string layer using the layer/damper knob on the app interface..

[@jonguy5340]

John Mike Thank You, but is this how you did that Ivory Grand and Synth Pad 2? Can i have layered and combined sounds with the app only?

[@daeone1514]

Oh yes!! Id use this at church!!!

[@johnkwadwokusi646]

Hello Bro. Great review we've got here but I kindly wanna know if it supports like creating my on patch like mixing up sounds(tones for that matter) e.g me mixing up piano an phaser clap. Thanks

[@Johnmike]

Not as of yet that I've found

[@stefanrobert5233]

to John Mike: Can you do a video on how to layer sounds on the Korg Module app?

[@eeeyyy7977]

John Mike, is this Korg Module still compatible with a 76 keys keyboard though this Korg Module has only 37 keys i think on the screen? Your response will surely be helpful. Thankyou! Godbless!

[@Johnmike]

Yes that’s just for visual sake...it will work with any keyboard up to 88-keys

[@noraadub]

Have you tried to use this app in the macbook? Also can this be used with my korg nanokontrol?

[@Johnmike]

It won't run on a macbook because its an ipad app...and I don't believe it will work with the nano control

[@elleondejuda4681]

Hey my brother help me out asap , I have a gig this Saturday and I'm just looking for better sounds to used on my M audio keyboard controller. Are this sounds better then the Ones from Sample tank 2 ? And would you say that this sounds are as good as the ones in a very good keyboard, Yamaha motif or THE fantom keyboard etc? Do you need a Interface to connect ipad to keyboard or just using the lighting to USB Camera adapter get you the full sound? I ask cause I had one friend who uses Interface to connect his keyboard to the computer (he get a much better sound then one who doesn't use interface and connects directly with out interface. Can you help if you think I need a interface to.get full sound. Thanks

[@Johnmike]

I’m so sorry I missed this comment! But for what it’s worth...yes these sounds are way better than sample tank...and yes I would say use an interface if you can and yes you only need the usb to lighting adapter to make it work

[@mrmyoozik6286]

Hey John Mike I was wondering if you can layer multiple sounds within this app

[@Johnmike]

You cannot

[@nisuda]

so, are all sounds coming from the app? can I connect it to any controller?

[@kimlopez1987]

Hello! Just finished downloading and installing the app to my iPad 4. I'm using a SAMSON Carbon 61 as my controller. I'm experiencing a latency issue. Tried changing it to 512 and 256 and I got popping sounds in return. Is there a way to solve this? Thank you.

[@Johnmike]

Hmmm my only other suggestion would be to close every app that's running in the background and then try it again...

[@scottweber2413]

How do I control the sound? Is midi used,and how does that worK?

[@Johnmike]

Yes you can midi map it to your controller for sound

[@pendrive232]

Muito bom.. timbres legais

[@fremoth]

can you map the layer knob to a controller knob or volume pedal?

[@Johnmike]

Yup

[@cjmelton5901]

Are there any good or acceptable bell sounds...

[@Johnmike]

Ensemble bells in the triton expansion

[@ramonkey2939]

Thank you

[@pierrecenat7247]

i want to know if i have a 5 octaves piano if the whole keys will be played?

[@Johnmike]

+pierre cenat yes...I have played this on an 88 key keyboard

[@idiomis]

bought it, updated my ipad to ios8 cause it demands that and of course gadget and module does not work with audiobus anymore update please

[@josuemendoza3199]

Hey is it best to use a interface with this ?

[@Johnmike]

You don’t have to..I wasn’t isigan interlace when I did this video

[@andypadel9292]

nice vid! Do you know if it's possible to use the korg module to record midi rather than audio in garage band?

[@Johnmike]

Yes you can...I talk about it towards the end of the video...and I actually show how to in this video.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4bIZZWEg8mLj7c

[@jayjaycatlinboy8392]

Would you happen to know any android apps like this

[@Johnmike]

+jayjay Catlinboy sorry there aren't any

[@Keyfive328]

Hello anybody here used this on ipad pro 2bd gen? I'm thinking maybe my ipad is to blame even though I got 512 gig but with so many plugins it crashes haven't used korg module yet .

[@visionzearth]

Can I use this with GarageBand?

[@Johnmike]

+Free Beat Tags GarageBand with iOS...yes you can

[@jeroldweis498]

[@Johnmike]

+jerold weis yes it is

[@aaagtruckn5796]

Thank you sir ... I'm planning to buy an iPad mini 2... To be my module in my Casio ctk 6500

[@burn1gotbeats]

Would you but this before buying Korg gadget.

[@Johnmike]

I would...but I would mainly just need the sounds...gadget is dope because it has the sequencer and all that built in...I don’t need that

[@JonathanBrentRussell]

[@TheVoiceheaven]

[@Johnmike]

Yes it’s in app settings
