Please note that this example patch is already well-beyond Module Pro’s simple two-level layers and splits. Since it’s all touch-based, one slides split points left and right. You can see the split and layer relationships in the pane at the bottom of the screen. In the example above, instruments are split left (two string layers) and right (two flute layers). SampleTank is better-featured that way, allowing up to eight voices to participate in a combi. Instead of set lists, SampleTank has its Live mode where you can create multi-voice layers and splits. (You need to tap the file icon in the upper left corner to show the appropriate pop-up menu.) Korg Module Pro edit screen for sample-playback voices SampleTank IOS When finished, you need to switch back to set list mode and save the set list. If a voice needs tweaking, you can switch to the standard Module instrument screen for voice edits. There, you can balance levels, shift octaves and set the split point. Tapping the keyboard symbol on the right hand side of the selected entry takes you to the screen where you set the mode: Single voice, Layer or Split. Module’s Set List management screen lets you choose and load a combination (combi). Splits and layers are created and stored within set lists. Korg Module ProĪs I mentioned in my review, Module Pro with the performance expansion pack allows two-voice layers and splits. I’m glad that I remembered! If you need to choose one app, there are differences to be considered in the synth engines. I forgot about dear old Miroslav after moving to our new house and to a new iPad. SampleTank IOS plus Miroslav Mobile complements Korg Module Pro rather well. The organ expansion pack includes a few traditional pipe organ voices. I still plan to purchase Module’s organ (and clav) expansion pack when it goes on sale. The solution is good enough for basic hymn playing. Problem solved.Īs to church organ, I blended SampleTank’s Church Organ Air with Miroslav’s Cathedral Organ. I found, however, that I can easily switch between Module Pro and SampleTank IOS while keeping the Korg Microkey Air connected over Bluetooth. I can only assume that IK want you to purchase Hammond B-3X for iPad ($130 USD) or AmpliTube Leslie. ![]() Further, SampleTank IOS does not have a rotary speaker simulation built-in. Frankly, I am not a fan of SampleTank IOS drawbar organs, which are very rock-oriented. As to variety and solo instruments, Miroslav Mobile trounces Module Pro in the orchestra department.Īs to B-3 organs, Module Pro wins the contest. I like the woodwinds and horns best, rating them a notch above the Korg Module Pro voices. I’m on the love side although some of the string sections sound a tad dated. Sonically, Miroslav has always had its own unique character. I was well-aware of his work as a leader and as a sideman (Herbie Mann, Chick Corea, Roy Ayers, Larry Coryell, and others) before hearing the original Philharmonic library. Miroslav Vitouš, by the way, is one heck of a jazzer. The full library is 2.27GB while the Mobile Edition tips in at a modest 532MB. The mobile edition is a cut-down version of the current, big and improved Miroslav Philharmonic 2 library. (Again) Even better, I restored in-app purchases, finding additional B-3 organs and, ta-da, Miroslav Symphonic Mobile Edition. Thus, I installed IK Multimedia SampleTank IOS on my iPad and gave it a try. Just like finding a 20 dollar bill in a drawer full of old socks, it’s a pleasant surprise to discover that you already own a useful iPad music app and simply forgot about it.
