The MKSensation is a player's live gigging module designed to give you the bread and butter sounds needed for a live session, gig, church service, or studio session. The layout, ease of use, sliders, and simple functionality is what has made our PC version so successful. There is no fancy splash page and it's not rattled with hundreds of sounds. It's designed to be loaded and played for instant layering and inspiration. You could could call this your instant rompler full of the sounds you would use all of the time and given our reputation of sampling, you know the sounds will be very warm, thick, and realistic. You won't even believe that these sounds are coming from your iPad!

History:
Our roots stem from being gospel musicians. In the good ol' days we would have our multi-tier stack of keyboards and modules all layered together with a very intricate MIDI routing setup with all of or presets ready for live worship. Our setup would consist of a warm acoustic piano; a CP80 type of semi-realistic piano; lush strings; warm pad with filter cutoff; a very expressive tine; phat synth brass; a nice buzz saw; and a good ol' real brass sound. Between these few staple sounds, we were ready for any gig, service, studio session, or performance. Think about it....When you go to the music store to try out a new synth, what do you end up playing the most...? You play the pianos, keys, strings, horns, and synth sounds. That's what this module is all about. You can layer as many sounds as CPU permits, for instant inspiration on your iPad.

Operation:
- Click on a sound butto to activate the sound (Red LCD On)
- Click the Green Light (Right Top Corner) to activate the global effects section.
- The left side of the module shows the effects to be activated, and their levels
- The exception is for the EP 1 and EP 2. The insert FX chorus will not be used. The sounds will be swiped out with the actual sample of the chorus from the MKS unit

Sounds Available:
1. Piano 1 - MKS Piano 1
2. Piano 2 - MKS Piano 2
3. EP 1 - MKS EP 1 with and without chorus (Sampled using the original chorus)
4. EP 2 - MKS EP 2 with and without chorus (Sampled using the original chorus)
5. Power Grand - Classic gospel grand piano
6. Acoustic Grand - Warm acoustic grand
7. Dyno - 80s type electric dyno
8. FM Tine - DX FM electric EP
9. Brass - Warm Brass Section with Mod Wheel LFO
10. Synth - Poly Synth with Mod Wheel LFO
11. Strings - Warm cinematic strings
12. Pad - Warm pad

CPU and Processing:
CPU is contingent upon your iPad Model. As with anything, don’t go crazy! Don’t think you can activate 5-6 sounds and play full glissandos and you will not max out your CPU. Also, there is an inverse relationship between lower latency and CPU. For example if you want your latency (the time between you hitting the keys and you hearing the sound) to go down, then you probably won’t be able to play as many sounds at once. There is always a fine line between the two. From our testing using an iPad 4th generation, we were successfully able to stack up to 6-sounds at a buffer of 512. Obviously, the newer the iPad, the better (with the exception of the iPad 3).

Good for convenient bread and butter sounds

Good interface with direct access to all the sounds you'll probably need. Larger fingers may have issues with interface on non iPad iDevices. If your used to the Kontakt versions sound quality you may be disappointed. Not sure this app was re written to take advantage of later iDevices added memory. Pads and strings have good depth. Piano 1 sound is stale. EP 2 Piano is very useable. Power Grand is done very well. Not all sounds have consistent sound quality but like mentioned above, you can't beat the convenience. Audio Bus support is a big plus. 3 strong stars.

No tech support to call or help me.

I downloaded this ap and paid for the upgrade sounds. Used it a couple times as a modual for overseas in case I couldn’t get what was on the tech rider. Used it just before Covid and it was fine before broke out and now it’s not working.
It’s playing too many notes and sustaining doesn’t stop until I hit the panic button. Tried to call them and ask what happen but there’s no phone number or ways to contact them. Sad but wish it could be fixed or updated, and because I bought it in the apple App Store the initial down load was free but I paid for the extra sounds which are now hanging. I don’t want to purchase anymore product from here without a tech support to help me. Very unhelpful as of now.

Great but needs improvement

I love the sounds and accessibility to mix those sounds as you please. The only down side of this app, which is a big down side, is that the app doesn’t pick up every not you play when using a sustain pedal. I’m not sure what the issue is but it’s hard when you can’t hear all the notes you want to hear.
