thanks so much for this review, you definitely demonstrated all the features and now im sure this is exactly what i need thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great review. Very useful. I’m looking at getting this for my rig and your review was really helpful. Thanks
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
Great review! I love Gadget as well. Just got Module yesterday. Well worth the price, esp.with Wurley thrown in for free.Some years back I paid $30 for a couple of floppy disks with Stevie Wonder MIDI files on them that would load on my computer and play back via my Yamaha CS1X keyboard. Now, for the same money I got a superb sound module that is ultraportable and can play back those same files as well as doing a whole lot more!
HamFunk Productions Thanks for watching, yeah man, it's really cool to have these types of apps.
Nice review man. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Been using it for years and it’s awesome.
Nice fam! You use any of the expansions for it? I got Wurly and Ivory so far.
Excellent work! Thanks!
+Lare Clark Thanks for watching!
hi,, which are good apps to play layered sounds and also could you do a video of y=how to connect them too.... your explanations are great
For layered sounds, I'd look at sampletank, I'm pretty sure you can layer sounds in there.
really awsome midi
Thanks for watching.
Really nice demo -thanks. I'm struggling with Sample Tank 3 on Ipad Pro which now crashes due to the O/S upgrade. It also serves up distorted sound at inconvenient moments. Am going to go with the Korg Module I think.
Thanks for watching! I had the same crashes, they just released an update today that fixed the crashes when touching the knobs in Sample Tank.
@@SoundsAndGear Thanks for the information. I don't get any response from IK to tell me that, despite my open tech. support ticket. I'll try to update.
No problem, it has been working for me so far!
Yo, just a heads up. "Firenze" (Fir-En-ze) is how Italians say "Florence"...as in "Florence, Italy". It follows Gadget's city naming convention. I would not have known that either, but I was lucky enough to go to "Firenze" for work once. Sorry for the nerd-y comment. Keep up the good work!
Nice, had no clue, thanks!
glad you're keeping my city's name up high hahahahaha
Great review really awesome thanks, can you split the keyboard on this app, assign a couple of different sounds? Also what is your iPad mounted on? I'm looking for a good mount for mine that will attach to a keyboard stand. Much appreciated
I don't think you can do splits in there. I was using an iKlip stand from IK multimedia I think
Sweetaction i guess you could download the app to another ios device you have and use that on the other keyboard
Looked at a number of reviews before I got to yours. Clean, Crisp and Concise; just what I needed and I downloaded the App on the strength of it. Great job fella. Now all I need to do is learn to play a piano (I have an iRig keys too). With the plethora of sounds it provides,how on Earth can 'Ivory' add to it?
+George West Thanks for watching! Oh Ivory is great, really has it's own sound!
How long did it take to learn to play the piano? Please don't say years.
+George West Oh I still don't really know how to play, still trying to learn myself. Each person is different and it just depends on how much time you put in as well as your own ability to pick up what you learn.
I suppose that was a 'How long is a piece of string'? question. :-)
+George West ahahahaha indeed.
I have a question, which is the OUTPUT of the sound for live performances? the 3.5mm audio jack from the ipad? or does the signal come back to the midi controller and you use the midi controller's audio out?
Sebastián Frerk Yeah I have it coming out of the iPad, unless you have an audio interface hooked up.
Hi. Great video. I have a question but don’t know how to explain it right that you can understand the question lol so how can play all the different piano sounds live? How did you record that? I just can choose one piano sound like for example cinema piano and click on audio recorder but I can’t switch from one sound to another and make a video of it. Sorry couldn’t explain it better. English so bad. Thanks for reply!!
You'd switch sounds manually or via midi of supported by the app.
They had a half price sale thru Jan 5, 2017, on ALL KORG apps! If you can use KORG Module sounds in the Gadget module, that should enable layering (??). Can it enable splits? But again, that (layering especially0, would require enough POLYPHONY! But Ive never gotten an explanation about that...
It's been a while since I've used it, I don't recall if splits were possible or not.
Even if you could layer/split, how could you control, LIVE, the different sounds (Volume especially)?
Audiobus 3 can do it. I JUST got it. Super dope.
Do you have to run the audio out of the iPad, or can the controller keyboard (I'm using a Casio WK6600) send out the signal through the line out? Thanks!
Audio out of iPad
IVORY Grand Piano is the killer on this app. Simply super cool.
Yeah, def cool indeed.
Now it is Ravenscroft 275 iOS.. >D
+SoundsAndGear pls how did u connect the keyboard to the iPad?
So I heard
Is it possible to make the synths (particularly the lead sounds) monophonic with the Korg module??
The sounds don't really have very deep control it seems, I don't see a way to quickly change them to mono.
My question is, can you use a charger while playing the module? I saw someone use a wireless midi connector leaving the lightening port open for a charger. . Is this possible? . All the support I have asked for says the CAMERA CONNECTION "KIT" (just a damn connector!), is necessary. Meaning you can only use the battery for iPad power - BIG problem on a gig!
They have this "power bridge" think for the iRig devices that let you use a device and charge at the same time.
hi im a korg ios module user...what do you think is the problem? while im playing suddenly it will transpose...my keyboard is Samson carbon 61...pls help me know the cause. thanks and God bless...
+olartjojo Not sure, you may want to contact KORG directly.
Good review.
Does this app provide a split and layer functionality?
I do not remember if it has split/layer in there.
It does. The pro expansion is especially useful for this.
Hi. I saw you using irig pro as input. I tried to connect my irig keys with such module but it didn't work. Any advise?
+Nino Fedriawan I was using the iRig midi if that's what you mean? Are you trying to connect midi or audio?
Is it possible to switch i.e. from piano to organ via midi, changing midi channel?!
Been a while since I used it, but I believe there is a live/multi mode for that.
How good is this for Live Gig Set up ? Does it take time to switch patches while playing live , ?
su4691 I don't play live so probably not the best person to ask, but you can quickly switch patches it seems by setting up a set list.
How much polyphony is possible? How many notes at once? I would think that depends on the iPad power... ???
Yeah I think it depends on your ipad.
Thank you for bringing this review. I bought Module with the Wurley add-on but for some reason the Wurlies don't show up for me. Different iOS required? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for watching. As for the add on, I'm not sure, they should show up automatically, may want to contact KORG support.

i have the ipad mini and with this module i'm getting a noise if I played a lot of notes, like a frying sound. any ideas?
Not sure
So bottom.line I need korg gadget in order to be able to record with this ? For music production? Or. Do you have a video on how to get it loaded right to work inside logicx?
No, it's a standalone app and also works in Korg Gadget. It's not a VST, it runs on the iPad or iPhone.
SoundsAndGear could I purchase an irig and play as an external midi to my daw?
I have a question about output - I'm noticing that the volume coming form the iPad into my keyboard amp is much much softer than the volume coming out of my keyboard. Is there a way to boost the signal form the iPad?
+Sarah McArthur You'd have to turn up the volume on the iPad, in the app, or put some sort of mixer/interface between your iPad and your amp.
Just buy the iu2 tascam works perfect for me
Can it be used with any midi or jst the korg microkey
Any MIDI controller you can attach to your iPad.
I didn't watch the whole thing to see if you mentioned it, but do you notice any latency on the acoustic pianos? I just purchased the Korg Module app over the weekend and there is a very SLIGHT latency on the iPad Air 2 via USB midi and the camera connection kit. It's not bad enough to be unplayable, but it's definitely noticeable.
I didn't notice it, but you can go into the settings in iOS settings and change the latency if you need to. I'm connecting directly with 30 pin connector.
SoundsAndGear.com hi. Could you please post a link for this 30 pin connector ? thank you and kind regards.
zefif I don't have a specific link for it, you can get it from the ikmultimedia website though.
great ! found it, thank you !

zefif cool, glad you found it :)
Can I get quarter tune for oriental music..?
Not sure
What is the plug key for? I have ipad and ipod and have music apps and I cannot get all my 88 roland keys to play it will only play about 12 keys with any of my piano apps. Will the plug key solve this problem and will all my 88 keys play while using the piano apps?
REPLY
+Bronzeey1 I don't know what that is
Sorry, i meant the Korg Plug Key. I know now what I have to do . Get the Irig midi 2 way.
Ahh ok, cool.
..........Does anyone know if you can read sheet music off the iPad and do this program (i.e. app) at the same time, or would you need two separate i-Pads???????????
I don't remember if it has background playing or not.
you can go in advanced settings and turn on background audio so no, you wouldnt need another ipad
Thanks!
I believe this is not possible. You can't even layer or split (unless the sound itself already is). Please correct me if I'm wrong...
How is the midi latency? Is it useable?
I don't feel any real latency when playing this board
El Juanote if you have an iPad Air 2 or newer, you can open and have many Apps running simultaneously with absolutely no noticeable latency issues or crackling of the sound. I have used the Air 2 in live performances for a couple of years with no issues what so ever. With an older iPad, you may be limited to only opening a couple of Apps at any one time. Any more than that and you may have issues with popping/crackling of the sound, because the processor is choking.
Is it possible to layer sounds
James Hough I don't think so, if you can it's not as evident as it should be.
Thanks
James Hough no problem
Is the an app for the triton?
You can get a Triton expansion for the Korg Module app.
@@SoundsAndGear thx alot fam!
@@jaysmith7863 no doubt
The Ivory,Triton and Wurley
Yeah, I need to get that Triton joint, how is it?
How do you connect your MIDI keyboard to the iPad???
+NOBODY I KNOW! You would need the iRig. I see that he's using an iRig keyboard in this video and I assume this would work with the iRig. Can anyone confirm that? I'm looking at using this for Live performance.
+NOBODY I KNOW! the irig keyboard connects directly to the ipad
+moxxi I'm using the irig keyboard, it connects directly to the ipad
I imagine any connector that goes from MIDI in to lightening out... But I saw one vid where the playa used a wireless MIDI connector!
How r u connecting keys to iPad?
The iRig keyboards come with a cable to connect directly to the iOS device.
Jack Douglas for all other keyboards you need the Apple Camera Connection Cable. You plug a standard USB cable into your keyboard plug the other end in to the CCC, then plug the CCC in to your iPad. To connect multiple keyboards you plug USB cables from each keyboard in to a powered USB hub. Then connect the output cable from the hub in to the CCC then in to the iPad.
Do the mod wheel or pitch bend work with the app?
screenflicks Yeah, works with most of them.
oh i see.. how come mine doesn't work? :( am i missing some settings? i'm using the irig keys (mini) not the pro version by the way.
screenflicks Really? Is it only with this app or any app? Been a while since I tried the iRigs with my apps.
yeah.. i'm really wondering why my irig's pitch and mod wheel doesn't work with the module but it works with other apps. :( haven't tried experimenting it with audiobus though.
screenflicks Hmmm, I may have to try it again now lol
Can you split piano with bass?
+Teachlet Pierre Haven't tried to do a split in there, I'd imagine you can though.
Actually you can't.....
For sounds what gives more gadget or module??
I think you get more in Gadget, however, you can use Module within Gadget as well so I just consider it an expansion for Gadget.
SoundsAndGear i use BM3 and I’m just looking for sounds to use inside BM3 i just didn’t know which one gave more of a library
I'd say Gadget
SoundsAndGear thanx bro. Appreciate everything u do for our music community ✌🏽
Thanks for the support I appreciate you fam!
Is it possible to transpose?
There’s octave up/down
@@SoundsAndGear no, i mean shifting one note up and down. For example if i wanna shift C to D
@@zahakbabakarkhel9671 not sure, have to check IK website
If i don't have sustain pedal how can i enable sustain
+PRIMOiPhoneMod You can sometimes assign it to a button via midi.
I'm sure if your keyboard controller has a pedal in port this should be no problem... (??)
I'm sure if your keyboard controller has a pedal in port this should be no problem... (??)
The EPs sound good and quite realistic but the acoustic pianos sound quite plastic IMO - kind of toyish.
Darryn Lowen There's some good stuff in there and some basic stuff, no different than most workstations. However, at this price, I still think it's a great product.
but there's no bass there
+Teachlet Pierre You'd have to do it with another app then.
My dude how much is this app ?
Not sure right now, you can get it on sale at different prices sometimes.
cool rapping until 0:11
LOL, thanks for watching.
6:38 hehe.
+Jamie Holmes thanks for watching
Firenze more and less sounds like feeraenza
cool, thanks for watching
If music ever becomes purely a mobile ios thing, I'm going to quit. I can't even get my phone to send text messages half the time lol
Hahahaha, luckily this doesn't rely on a mobile network, I look at it as just a different format than a laptop, with a touch screen. I love using my iPad as a module, I tend to pull it up more than vsts honestly. Just because of the touch interaction.
I always have bad luck with phones. Never dropping them, i take care of my stuff well (musician after all) but the software always turns to crap on me in less than half a year, so I'm stuck with a lame phone that doesn't work. It's a verizon network lol. I use to think it was a network issue when i was on att and then straight talk (who shut my service off 10 days after I paid them for the month and never returned my money lol) and i gave up after that. This one I got now my mom forced me to take (i wouldn't buy one lol) so now I have an LG... that doesn't ****ing work again! (i feel like lewis black sometimes lol)
Art Vasch Ahahahaha, I fee you man lol
Really cheap sounds
Cool lol
The sounds are lame!
Cool, thanks for watching!
