Category Price Seller Device
Music Free MIDIculous LLC iPhone, iPad, iPod

• You get 3-FREE Sounds (MKS Piano 2, Acoustic Grand, Brass)


The MKSensation is a player's live gigging module designed to give you the bread and butter sounds needed for a live session, gig, church service, or studio session. The layout, ease of use, sliders, and simple functionality is what has made our PC version so successful. There is no fancy splash page and it's not rattled with hundreds of sounds. It's designed to be loaded and played for instant layering and inspiration. You could could call this your instant rompler full of the sounds you would use all of the time and given our reputation of sampling, you know the sounds will be very warm, thick, and realistic. You won't even believe that these sounds are coming from your iPad!

History:
Our roots stem from being gospel musicians. In the good ol' days we would have our multi-tier stack of keyboards and modules all layered together with a very intricate MIDI routing setup with all of or presets ready for live worship. Our setup would consist of a warm acoustic piano; a CP80 type of semi-realistic piano; lush strings; warm pad with filter cutoff; a very expressive tine; phat synth brass; a nice buzz saw; and a good ol' real brass sound. Between these few staple sounds, we were ready for any gig, service, studio session, or performance. Think about it....When you go to the music store to try out a new synth, what do you end up playing the most...? You play the pianos, keys, strings, horns, and synth sounds. That's what this module is all about. You can layer as many sounds as CPU permits, for instant inspiration on your iPad.

Operation:
- Click on a sound butto to activate the sound (Red LCD On)
- Click the Green Light (Right Top Corner) to activate the global effects section.
- The left side of the module shows the effects to be activated, and their levels
- The exception is for the EP 1 and EP 2. The insert FX chorus will not be used. The sounds will be swiped out with the actual sample of the chorus from the MKS unit

Sounds Available:
1. Piano 1 - MKS Piano 1
2. Piano 2 - MKS Piano 2
3. EP 1 - MKS EP 1 with and without chorus (Sampled using the original chorus)
4. EP 2 - MKS EP 2 with and without chorus (Sampled using the original chorus)
5. Power Grand - Classic gospel grand piano
6. Acoustic Grand - Warm acoustic grand
7. Dyno - 80s type electric dyno
8. FM Tine - DX FM electric EP
9. Brass - Warm Brass Section with Mod Wheel LFO
10. Synth - Poly Synth with Mod Wheel LFO
11. Strings - Warm cinematic strings
12. Pad - Warm pad

CPU and Processing:
CPU is contingent upon your iPad Model. As with anything, don’t go crazy! Don’t think you can activate 5-6 sounds and play full glissandos and you will not max out your CPU. Also, there is an inverse relationship between lower latency and CPU. For example if you want your latency (the time between you hitting the keys and you hearing the sound) to go down, then you probably won’t be able to play as many sounds at once. There is always a fine line between the two. From our testing using an iPad 4th generation, we were successfully able to stack up to 6-sounds at a buffer of 512. Obviously, the newer the iPad, the better (with the exception of the iPad 3).

Reviews

Awesome App! Almost...
Kareembyear1year

...worth 5 stars! iPad owners who gig, especially church musicians, this is your chance to own the classic mks set up! Oh and some of the negative commenters...they either don’t know what an MKS is, have issues related to their device or their hardware, or they were just down on their luck at the time of their posting. If you know what an MKS is, you like it, and you gig with your iPad, get it!


Still requires purchase

If I purchased all sounds iPhone, do I have to repurchase sounds on Ipad? I’m unable to use my purchased sounds on my IPad mini 2, as they are requiring another purchase.


Using this app in 2020

Love this app! Is there anyway it can be updated so that the sound does not cut off as more ram is used considering IOS devices in 2020 can process way more compared to 4 years ago? An “MKSensation 2.0” would definitely be a must buy for me if it ever comes in to existence. Keep up the good work Jamal. God bless you and your team!

It was a good app. I purchased it a couple years. Back n now it won’t play in though my Roland keyboard. A note keeps. Popping up saying pay $19.99. The app plays sound Thur the iPad but will not play though my Roland keyboard, it has nice sounds but I can’t get them to work right. Now of my connections changed the APP DID.

--Where are the organs? Choirs? This has great giggigng capabilites but it requires us to use something else for these much needed sounds. Okay admit it, you're working on another module that has those aren't you? LOL Like everything else you do they'll be great, I just wish they were already here on this..


FINALLY!!!!!!
