Korg Intros First Instrument for the iPad – iElectribe

Korg’s Electribe Series hardware products have been a staple in the dance and electronic music world for over a decade — and now Korg has developed the instrument for the Apple iPad.

The Korg iElectribe virtual analog beatbox is a dedicated iPad musical instrument app now available from Apple’s App Store at a special introductory price of $9.99 is being offered until June 30, 2010.

According to Korg, the iPad’s 9.7″ multi touch display offers an intuitive layout that will be familiar to Electribe users. Just as on the original Electribe, users simply choose one of the eight parts (or sounds) and touch the 16-step sequencer to quickly build patterns and grooves.

The iElectribe faithfully recreates the historic Electribe’s entire sound engine – including analog synthesis modeling and PCM synthesis, along with virtual Valve Force tube modeling. The sequencer can record instrument parts as well as advanced Motion Sequencing – the recording of knob movements as part of a pattern.

The Master effect processor provides eight enhanced effect types. The iElectribe comes preprogrammed with 64 new preset patterns that allow the user to instantly create music in a wide variety of dance and electronic music styles; the user can also create up to 64 patterns of their own.

After June 30, the iElectribe will be priced at $19.99 via Apple’s App Store (inside the iTunes Store).
