Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

I have an LG phone running Android 6. It runs audio stuff pretty well. Caustic, Oscilab, and Beatonal are the apps that I use the most. And a bunch of Android only noise and generative apps that aren’t on iOS.
I am pretty sure the iKaosillator will work, but was just asking around before I buy it. Google has worse refund policies than Apple I think. I will wait for it to be $10 again too.
Probably you're not yet on Android 8.0

I'll add that my Asus laptop is Laggy AF too. PSA avoid Asus products.
Yeah I’m stuck on 6. Guess I will have to avoid getting a new phone running 8 later on.
I remember those Superpowered had this latency thing solved a few years ago, but I guess their methods weren’t adopted by many devs or something. Seems really lame at this stage to be still dealing with latency.
I’m not asking if it they know if it will run on my specific phone, or any specific phone other than their own. Just a general inquiry. I see you hate Android. Thanks.
Sampling on the KP3 requires extremely precise timing and the short phrases mean you would probably want a few of them in order to get a basic song idea to work.
I would say it’s only redundant if you were using it but you are now making good music with something else instead. Even for dabbling over a pattern from somewhere else. It’s the sauce on my chips.
Get a Korg Nanopad or Nanopad 2 - these both have hardware touchpad that works with arps and scales just like the korg inspired (Electribe) one in groove rider, that can be used with any app that will receive midi notes.
In theory there's nothing wrong with Android. It's the ubiquitous OS of mobile computing devices. More specifically I hate the hardware companies like Asus and all the other cheap brands that lure you in and then leave you high and dry with some unsupported model and sketchy driver updates.
nothing like ikaossilator so not redundant
ikaossilator works fine on Android...its funny how Android is still being dismissed as a viable platform. It's not on iOS level but it works.

Awesome. Just looking for some confirmation. Had a feeling it would be fine. Thank you.

Yeah > @kobamoto said:
FUCKIN A RIGHT!
(I would say Groove Rider is the most similar alternative iOS though)
Damn Skippy!!
does korg just not like money or what, ikaossilator is a cash cow update just waiting to happen
I owned a Kaossilator Pro because I thought it would be awesome...but couldn't get anything decent out of it other than some ad hoc beats. Sold it, disappointed. Owned a KP-3 too which was useful, but who needs it with all the excellent options on the iPad? Sold it. Got iKaossilator early on in my app adventures and it is AMAZING. Have created more full songs in that app than any other, including Gadget. Wish it had more sounds, wish KORG would roll it into Gadget, but it's still so much fun! Thinking I'd figured out the system, I bought a Kaossilator Pro+ again and...still couldn't do a damn thing with it. Sold it again, disappointed. However, iKaossilator remains irreplaceable for me.
I agree , with some added sound banks and full iPad support with landscape mode will be nice.
Hell yeah
only issue with Android is some devices still have noticeable latency, but most Android 5 devices are perfectly usable.

I got myself the Kaossilator Pro+ For Xmas 2015. I have had the Kaoss Pad 3 for quite some time so it made sense to pair them.
I initially loved it, I had some super fun jams with the pair. However, it gave me the gear bug. From there I went full on Korg, dressing myself with a trio of Volcas, the Minilogue, Nano studio controllers, Korg Gadget etc!
So now I find myself In a different headspace to when I first got the Kaossilator. Now I spend more time learning how various hardware and software instruments and tools work than I do making music it self. This is partly the fault of living with a guy who around the time I got the Kaossilator had just started buying eurorack! Where as at the time I was like “make some some actual music ya dingus!” Over the year and the case filling I couldnt help being interested and it reached a head when he and I went to last years Superbooth!
I have barely touched the Kaossilator lately. The KP3 gets a lot more usage. Why? Because its a preset machine, there is no way to tweek my own sounds other than to process it through the KP3. The reason I wasn’t satisfied initially was you ended up sounding more like the than yourself.
But I wouldnt want to part with the Kaossilator because it is so inspiring and immediate.
I put it in the same bracket as the Ableton Push 2 which I have barely touched since I got it a year ago, but this is because now I have too much gear and no static place to have it. My studio is constantly modular, I set up on the dining table and have to pack up before dinner etc.
Im dying to move house and build a studio space that is big enough to leave the Push and Kaossilator out permanently that I can harness in the moment, mostly to build on ideas Ive sketched on my phone/iPad. I have no intention of getting rid of either. My MicroKORG original however, is available at the right price.
The big thing I discovered lately about the Kaossilator that makes me want to whip it out is that its scale and key select functions work in a MIDI controller context!
@Calverhall Thanks for the insights. Sounds like you need a bigger space to lay everything out
I am keeping well away from modular, dont think I’d make it out alive!
Appreciate you sharing your experience.
I don’t think that the hardware versions of Kaossilator can quantise in the same way as iKaossilator does.
