Control the Korg monotribe's tempo with your iPhone!
Category Price Seller Device
Music Free KORG INC. iPhone, iPad, iPod

SyncKontrol offers owners of Korg's monotribe Analogue Ribbon Station precise tempo control, plus the ability to sync their monotribe to WIST (Wireless sync) enabled apps!

SyncKontrol allows you to control the tempo and start/pause of the monotribe Analogue Ribbon Station via the audio output of your iPhone. The app also offers Tap Tempo, a Swing function, and WIST (Wireless Sync-Start Technology) to sync monotribe to WIST-enabled apps such as Korg's iMS20, iELECTRIBE and iELECTRIBE Gorillaz™ Edition. In addition, this application receives sync from Mac based DAW software by receiving MIDI clock and play/stop commands via Wireless Network MIDI*.

Korg's monotribe is a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body. The monotribe shares the analog synthesizer voice of the in-demand Korg monotron, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with a built-in speaker and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable.

[Specifications]
Sequencer Section:
• Tempo : 20.0 – 999.9 BPM
• Tap tempo
• Swing function : 50 – 75%

Other:
• Supports WIST (Wireless Sync-Start Technology)

* Wireless Network MIDI function is still new and developing technology and therefore there are no guarantees concerning stability which can be heavily affected by traffic over the wireless network.

Note : mini jack cable is necessary to connect iPhone and monotribe.

Can hardly wait ...

Please KORG release the MONOTRIBE!!! I have your app but no MONOTRIBE to hook it up to! ( I have mine on preorder In USA ) Loved the monoTRON and I fully expect the Monotribe to be the funnest musical instrument of all time. Thank you. Tried out the app anyways and seems to work fine. I like that you can go all the way up to 999 bpm!


Awesome
DubiousDubber

Rock-solid. Swing feature opens up a lot of possibilities. Ran a monotribe from my iPad, and synced a friend's running iMS20 and it all worked together nicely!!


Rad idea!!
Super Honky

So, I haven't tried it yet, but Korg gets 5 stars from me for even making an App that will work with there MonoTribe. Thanks for trying some thing interesting Korg!!!


Background?
wantsync

So this won't work in the background on my phone while I sync something ELSE on my phone to the 'tribe? I need TWO idevices, is that right?


I want midi!
Treble2000

This is a grate Sync controller and it has swing still I want a midi sequencer for my monotribe!


Other uses too!
Magnetmanx

Not only does it help the monotribe sync with your DAW but it can trigger other analog devices such as the korg mono/poly's arpegiator.


Works for me... Love it
Eve Severe

I have been using this since November and it it works great. It is a must have for anyone with a Monotribe that is trying to sync up with other band members!! My buddy and I synced our Monotribes together and controlled them with this app and had no problems!!! To the person who is griping about midi controls on the Monotribe-- you can buy a midi adapter kit for about 120 bux and take your Tribe apart and put the midi controller in. A pain but it will give you midi!! This app does everything I need it to do. It should however let people know about updates to their Monotribes. I updated my Monotribe to 2.0 about two months ago but if this app happened to drop a reminder that would be fabulous!! Lol.. There is no reason not to get this app of you own a Monotribe.


It has midi clock
Djbombsquad

Haha you ppl are silly you can get midi clock thru sync kontrol, not WIST without opening up or saudering or buying any adapters, you just need an idevice, the app and..... Ha you figure the rest out I had to, I NO LIE! PS dear KORG the WIST aspect of this app and in every app is a joke. It's a novel idea, yeah it's fun to sync up your apps with hardware (monotribe) for about 45 seconds before the audio strays Useless for LIVE, major fail. Luckily this has slave clock! EVERY MUSIC APP NEEDS CLOCK Yeah I'm talking to you FINGERLAB none of this start sync BS


Huge battery drainer!
DJ Finish Him

Be sure to force quit this app when you're not using it, because otherwise it will sap all the juice from your battery. Not sure why it does this but I've tested it on multiple iDevices and they all suffer the same fate. Any hope for an update that remedies this issue?


Needs fine tuning
Epignosis567

The bpm setting needs the option of fine tuning, and the tap tempo feature needs an optional "average" setting to dial in the tempo quicker.
