behind the mask
Kudos to the developer for bringing these sounds to iOS. But why is the main "window display" CROOKED and skewed?! And why are there white lines (of different thicknesses) on three sides of the display? And why is there a shadow on one edge of the display? Even the text — "Live Giggin' Module" — is crooked, off-center, and sags on the left. How on earth do those things even happen?! And how does a developer not notice before releasing a product?! The UI on this app is a jumbled, nonsensical mess. Also, the contrast button seems to be non-functioning. Tapping it only nags the user about purchasing more sounds. So, why include the contrast button at all? It's as if the entire, center section is some weird attempt to mimic the MKS-20's front panel. But why make it CROOKED? Why add the weird, white lines? And why include buttons that have NO FUNCTION? Also, the mixer channels are far too close together. And there's no apparent way to zero a channel (or channels) after accidentally moving it (them). It's nice to have the MKS-20 sounds on iOS, but this app's UI is downright hideous—for no good reason.

Been through a lot of keyboards and sound modules through the years, but I don't remember ever owning or even trying a MKS module (surprisingly). Very nice surprise. Once I began to experiment with different layers I recognized sounds I've heard on music through the years. Individually the sounds are good, but layered they're great.

...worth 5 stars (& truly is), except it doesn't request the option to keep screen from auto locking. User has to manually turn off auto lock each time before using app. Yet, don't sleep. iPad owners who gig, especially church musicians, this is your chance to own the classic mks set up!

The sounds are great!!!! I use it in church to get that west coast Mike Bereal/Jason White sound. Only thing wrong is that the power grand goes in and out after playing for like 15 mins.

Good interface with direct access to all the sounds you'll probably need. Larger fingers may have issues with interface on non iPad iDevices. If your used to the Kontakt versions sound quality you may be disappointed. Not sure this app was re written to take advantage of later iDevices added memory. Pads and strings have good depth. Piano 1 sound is stale. EP 2 Piano is very useable. Power Grand is done very well. Not all sounds have consistent sound quality but like mentioned above, you can't beat the convenience. Audio Bus support is a big plus. 3 strong stars.
Waste my time
Great interface! Sweet chorus! Nice RD and Yamaha sounds snd it weighs a few ounces instead of 75 pounds.... Please add comp perc full organs, clav, delay, controller 74 for filter cutoff and selectable program changes! Then one app can almost cover an entire gig!

Finally got sound from the app. Cheesy quality sounds. I would never use such low quality sounds on anything I do! And at $4 a pop is 75% too much. ------ Does not take advantage of a multitouch device making it unnecessarily difficult to navigate around to actually use it. No presets is a huge negative! I never, ever heard of a developer before 'advertising' that they aren't including any presets as plus?! That's just a lazy developer. BUT, let's get back to, I've got no sound! That's too funny. One star.

I purchased the All synths for $29.99 and I don't see any new sounds. Where are they? If not, I would like my money back please.

The sounds are great but for some reason the app always crashes. It's very frustrating & embarrassing especially live. I use other keyboard apps and they work fine so in concluding that it is a problem within the app. Please fix it because I LOVE the sounds.
