HIGHLIGHTS:
The world-wide best-selling Polysix polyphonic synthesiser:
Korg’s Polysix, a six-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer, went on sale in 1981. While a popular synthesizer of that time was able to produce only five notes simultaneously, the Polysix had six-note polyphony, and its name was an expression of its designers’ pride. iPolysix uses Korg’s proprietary “CMT” (Component Modeling Technology) to simulate the actual electronic circuits of the original unit, perfectly reproducing the original Polysix.
The newly developed Polyseq polyphonic step sequencer:
Polyseq is a polyphonic step sequencer that provides up to 64 steps, newly developed in order to take full advantage of the Polysix’s capabilities. Polyseq provides a different operating feel than a conventional piano-roll sequencer or even a step sequencer; it’s a new yet somehow familiar experience, as if you were retracing the evolution of electronic musical instruments. Don’t miss the opportunity to try out this perfect match; the Polysix+Polyseq.
A music production environment including two Polysix units, a drum machine, and a mixer:
iPolysix has been created as a professional music production tool. In addition to two Polysix units, it provides a six-part drum machine, and an analog mixer that’s reminiscent of the KMX-8 mixer. You’ll have everything you need to produce great sounding music. Surrounded by analog equipment, you’ll imagine that you’ve time-traveled back to the early ’80s.
Dual Kaoss Pads with chordal support:
The large multi-touch display shows two Kaoss Pads which you can control using both hands to perform music. This enables creative performance even for those who have no musical knowledge. These Kaoss Pads have been customized for iPolysix to allow not only single-note performance, but also chordal playing with just one finger; a new experience made possible only by a combination of new and old technology, the Polysix+Kaoss Pad.
Polyshare powered by SoundCloud lets you publish, share, and remix songs with iPolysix users around the world:
Polyshare is a function for iPolysix users to share their songs. It’s based on SoundCloud, the song sharing service favored by music creators. You can make your song available to iPolysix users around the world simply by uploading the song directly from the app. You can download and upload remixable tracks. It’s easy to enjoy remixing and collaboration with users around the world.

Just amazing. Much powerful and friendly than iMS20!. I’ve been looking for an app that really can replace the incredible Korg DS-10 and that’s the one. Best synthesis-based app so far!.
One of the best app releases i have downloaded in a long time…love this app…background audio would be dope as well as drum control edits!
Are you absolutely certain this is an Analog synth as mentioned in the description? My guess is it’s virtual analog but that is just a guess! :P
That’s Korg’s description not mine, but yes you’re right :-)
This is an amazing app! Great features, sound, presets, design…
Missing background-audio and drum controller automation, though.
