Korg's iPolysix synth app takes your iPad back to the '80s (video)

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/26/korg-ipolysix-synth-app-for-ipad/)

[Synthesizers](http://www.engadget.com/tag/synthesizer/) are notoriously expensive, especially some vintage models, but how'd you like a Korg Polysix for the bargain price of $14.99? Well, as long as you've got an [iPad](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/apple-ipad-review/) (or a [mini](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/apple-ipad-mini-review/)), that's now possible with the iPolysix app released today. The '80s-era analog polyphonic synth is "fully replicated," with plenty of additional tools for tablet composers -- the new Polyseq step sequencer, dual [Kaoss Pads](http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/korg-unveils-kaossilator2-and-mini-kaoss-pad2/) with chordal support, and a "production environment" with two synths, a drum machine and mixer. You can also publish your creations and remix tracks with other users via the [SoundCloud](http://www.engadget.com/tag/soundcloud/)-integrated Polyshare feature. If you're hemming and hawing about a purchase, make up your mind soon, as the app's price doubles on January 1st. You won't find it in the Play store, but the Android Polysix app we saw running on [Miselu's Neiro prototype](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/miselu-neiro-synth-at-google-i-o-exclusive-first-look-at-apps-f/) leads us to believe Google's OS won't be excluded from the [jam session](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/08/jam-with-chrome/) entirely. Advert / app demo after the break.
