Way too much money
I was hoping for more customized beats and control over each sound.
Maybe a selection of drum beats to through in when I want.
Overall fun value is just not there.
Only worth about 3 or 4 bucks in my opinion.
Professional level app at amateur price
I've written about this app before, and every time I give a review for a new version, I keep adding additional praise. Why? Korg keeps updating this already full-featured masterpiece. What is iElectribe? It's a great way to experiment with beats. You can come up with some impressive dance beats ranging in style from hip hop to techno, and yes, if you know what you're doing you can even program in a waltz!
What else is it? A live performance tool, with easy to use controls that are made even easier if you hook up a compatible midi device to your iPad.
As if that weren't enough, you can actually write a full song in the app. Granted, you won't be writing your next opera in this program, but you can actually come up with something approaching album-ready if you are so inclined.
In short, the iElectribe app is platform for experimenting in music in ways that you may or may not have tried before. For the price, it's a steal. Yes, it lacks the ability to record or import your own samples, but that's really the only flaw I can think of.
Could be better
I had the hardware version of the Electribe-R years ago and loved it then. One thing I don't like, is that if you exit out of the program it stops plays playing. If it were well made you could play this along with other apps on the same iPad like you can do with Animoog and Beatmaker 2. I know it's PCM based, but the ability to import samples would be great too. Still fun to play with but not worth the $20 it's going for now.
